Trichlorofluoromethane
(Redirected from R-11)
R-11, or trichlorofluoromethane, was the first widely used refrigerant. Because of its high boiling point, it can be used in systems with a low operating pressure, making the mechanical design of such systems less demanding than that of higher-pressure refrigerants R-12 or R-22.
Because of the high chlorine content and the ease with which the chlorine atoms can be displaced when the molecule is subject to ultraviolet light, R-11 has the highest ozone depletion potential of any refrigerant.
CAS #75-69-4
