cessation of all life (metabolic) processes. Death may involve the organism as a whole (somatic death) or may be confined to cells and tissues within the organism. Causes of death in human beings include injury, acute or chronic disease, and neoplasia (cancer).
R409A is a blend of HCFC refrigerants introduced to retrofit R12 in air conditioning and refrigeration applications.CFCâs are commonly accepted as having an overall detrimental effect on the environment through both their ozone depletion potential and global warming potential and consequently are being phased out completely.
For more information on both of these types of refrigerants I recommend reading my in-depth article on Chloroflurocarbons (CFCs) and Hydrochloroflurocarbons. (hcfcs) The two most common CFCs and HCFCs are R-12 and R-22 Refrigerant. R-12 was the first type of mainstream refrigerant on the market. It took place of other more difficult to use refrigerants such as Carbon Dioxide. In the 1950s R-22 became popular and eventually became the main refrigerant to use in home and commercial air conditioning units.
