dc.descriptionModern life relies significantly on applications and systems of refrigeration and air-conditioning. Nowadays it is almost impossible to find a building or facility without cooling, heating, or chilling applications. The first half of the 20th Century saw advancements in chemistry and mechanical engineering; with this came the development of “fluorinated refrigerants”. As a result, the use of refrigeration and air-conditioning expanded exponentially to cover all aspects of life and in different types of buildings and facilities e.g. residential, commercial, industry, and even transport. It also extended to cover critical sectors of modern life such as health and telecommunications.en_US
