Question 152Refrigeration & AC - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) R-11. Traditionally, R-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) has been more suitable than other refrigerants for use in a centrifugal refrigeration compressor. R-11 has a relatively low operating pressure compared to other refrigerants, which makes it well-suited for use in centrifugal compressors that are designed to handle lower pressures. Additionally, R-11 has good thermodynamic properties that contribute to efficient operation in centrifugal refrigeration systems. The other options are less suitable for centrifugal compressors - R-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) operates at higher pressures, ammonia has different chemical properties, and carbon dioxide is not commonly used in traditional centrifugal refrigeration systems.
