What is the abbreviation for refrigerants that contain chlorine, fluorine, and carbon?

The abbreviation for refrigerants that contain chlorine, fluorine, and carbon is CFC, which stands for chlorofluorocarbon. CFCs were widely used as refrigerants in air conditioning and refrigeration systems due to their effective cooling properties. However, their use has been heavily restricted and phased out in many countries because they contribute significantly to ozone layer depletion when released into the atmosphere.

HFC, or hydrofluorocarbons, are another class of refrigerants that do not contain chlorine and are often seen as a more environmentally friendly alternative. HCFC, or hydrochlorofluorocarbons, contain hydrogen in addition to chlorine and fluorine, and while they are less damaging to the ozone layer than CFCs, they are also being phased out due to their potential high global warming impact. HFAC is not a recognized abbreviation for any category of refrigerants and does not pertain to any known refrigerant type.
