Explosive Refrigerant Threatens Homes, Businesses Worldwide
Scientists tested the safety limits of a new coolant mixture as an alternative to a harmful one. They built a precise device to see how easily the coolant could explode. By experimenting with different combinations of coolants, they found the critical point where the mixture could catch fire. To make the coolant safer, they mixed it with special substances to prevent explosions. This research helps companies produce and store the new coolant more safely.
