It had great qualities as a cooling gas. Vapor pressure and boiling point are paramount. For a temperature of about 40°C inside the refrigerator, the refrigerant needs to boil below -10°C and above -60°C , R12's numbers. R12 was a CFC so it was banned, but how many fridges were scrapped? It worked better than R134A. We don't hear much about the ozone layer any more, its all Global Warming. Feeblemind: Dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12) was a widely used refridgerant.

My dorm was only 3 stories high. As for you Terrence, I agree about the old refrigerators. My roommate and I had one that dated from the late 1940s. It kept beer at the perfect temp., about a tenth of a degree above freezing. As of a few weeks ago, it was still keeping beer cold for my old college roommate.

Oh, all right, go ahead; we deserve it. You do know that Canadians keep their beer in these old fridges for one or two reasons 1. To keep it from freezing, and/or, 2. To keep it at the correct temperature for long term storage (45-50 degrees F), and those old fridges do this better than new ones. So, blame Canada, eh! Oh, all right, go ahead; we deserve it.

You open the pop top, drink the beer and then put a hook through the pop top and presto you have a shiney ornament. I think we finally put that tree in an empty elevator heading to the lobby.

The "children" can get their own! Probably tell you where to find it too ... Heh! Screw that, Gaius!
