Refrigeration--From Ice Man to Ozone Hole

Abstract
The status of refrigeration fluids underwent a circle of changes in the 20th century. The invention of chlorofluorocarbons in the 1930s removed the health problem caused by leaks of toxic refrigerants, but by the 1970s CFCs became a serious threat to the enviornment. Throughout the century, JCE issues contained articles and short news bites about the fundamentals of refrigeration and the highs and lows of coolant fluids.
