Roles Classification
Biological Role:
food propellant  A propellant that is used to expel foods from an aerosol container.
Applications:
refrigerant  A substance used in a thermodynamic heat pump cycle or refrigeration cycle that undergoes a phase change from a gas to a liquid and back. Refrigerants are used in air-conditioning systems and freezers or refrigerators and are assigned a "R" number (by ASHRAE - formerly the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers), which is determined systematically according to their molecular structure.
food propellant  A propellant that is used to expel foods from an aerosol container.
