What is a Hydrocarbon Refrigerant (HC)

The term ‘hydrocarbon refrigerant’ is also known as HC and refers to a family of chemicals that contain only carbon and hydrogen, that are suitable for use as a refrigerant in cooling systems. Typical examples would include:

- Propane (R290)
- Isobutane (R600a)
