Then, that cold water flows into the refrigeration or air conditioning system to help chill refrigerant liquid.

然后，冷水流入制冷或空调系统，帮助冷却制冷剂液体。

The electricity is often produced by burning fossil fuels, and the refrigerant gases also exacerbate climate change.

而冷藏所需的电力通常是由燃烧的化石燃料生产的，且制冷气体也会进一步加剧气候变化。

These include air conditioners that can use heat pumps, and water, instead of chemicals like HFCs as a refrigerant.

其中包括可以使用热泵和水，而不是像氢氟碳化合物这样的化学物质作为制冷剂。

These could be a liquid noble gas, germanium and silicon crystals, a refrigerant, or other materials.

这些可能是液态惰性气体、锗和硅晶体、制冷剂或其他材料。

Another priority is cutting down on the refrigerants that conventional ACs need to function.

另一个优先事项是减少传统空调运行所需的制冷剂。

And we’ll have to switch over to refrigerants that, even if they do leak, won’t trap heat.

而且我们必须改用即使泄漏也不会积聚热量的制冷剂。

I mean, there is a huge industry, of course, that made these air conditioners and refrigerants that had these chemicals.

我的意思是，当然，有一个巨大的行业制造了这些含有这些化学物质的空调和制冷剂。

About 80% of the chlorine in the atmosphere is a legacy of chlorofluorocarbons, chemicals used in aerosol sprays and as refrigerants starting in the 1930s.

大约80%的氯气在大气中是氯氟烃的遗留物，这是从20世纪30年代开始使用的气溶胶喷雾剂和制冷剂。

The cooled air is returned to the room, and the refrigerant is condensed back into a liquid, with its trapped heat released outside.

冷却后的空气返回到房间，制冷剂被冷凝回液体，其捕获的热量被释放到室外。

And so, we were able to swap out the air conditioners and the refrigerants that had these nasty ozone-destroying chemicals with ones that didn't.

因此，我们能够将含有这些有害臭氧破坏化学物质的空调和制冷剂换成不含这些化学物质的空调和制冷剂。

In addition to that, ammonia is also used as a refrigerant gas, as well as in the manufacture of plastic, fabrics, pesticides and to purify water supplies.

除此之外，氨还用作制冷剂气体，以及用于制造塑料、织物、杀虫剂和净化供水。

Air-conditioners currently use this power to draw in warm air and pass it over a cold refrigerant, which evaporates as it absorbs the air's heat.

目前， 空调利用这种能量吸入暖空气， 并将其通过冷制冷剂，制冷剂在吸收空气的热量时就会蒸发。

A 1987 agreement called the Montreal Protocol banned a series of chemicals — mainly used in refrigerants and aerosols — believed to have reduced the thickness of the ozone layer.

1987 年签署的《蒙特利尔议定书》禁止使用一系列化学物质——主要用于制冷剂和气雾剂——据信这些化学物质减小了臭氧层的厚度。

1987年签署的《蒙特利尔议定书》禁止使用一系列化学物质——主要用于制冷剂和气雾剂——据信这些化学物质减小了臭氧层的厚度。

This is partly out of necessity: the water that naturally condenses on the metal around the refrigerant must be removed before it can do any damage.

这在一定程度上是出于必要：必须清除制​​冷剂周围金属上自然凝结的水，以免其造成任何损坏。

It was stumbled upon accidentally in 1938 by a 27-year-old American chemist named Roy Plunkett, while he was trying to develop a non-toxic refrigerant fluid for DuPont, a chemicals company.

它于1938年被一位27岁的美国化学家偶然发现，他的名字叫做 Roy Plunkett，当时他正在为杜邦公司开发一种无毒制冷剂，那是一家化学公司。

Label CFC-11, the chemical in question used to be used in refrigerants, foam blowing agents, and aerosol sprays but it was supposed to be completely phased out in 2010.

标签 CFC- 11， 该化学品曾用于制冷剂、泡沫发泡剂和气溶胶喷雾剂， 但本应在 2010 年完全淘汰。

That is why some companies are trying to build units that do away with refrigerants entirely, which means coming up with a totally different method of absorbing heat.

这就是为什么一些公司试图建造完全不用制冷剂的设备，这意味着要提出一种完全不同的吸收热量的方法。

Users, the company says, get to control humidity and temperature independently of one another, while reducing energy use by between 50% and 90% and the environmental impact of refrigerants by 85%.

该公司表示， 用户可以独立控制湿度和温度，同时减少 50% 至 90% 的能源使用， 并将制冷剂对环境的影响减少 85%。
