The refrigerant for a refrigerator should have

A. High sensible heat

B. High total heat

C. High latent heat

D. Low latent heat

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The specific heat of liquid should be as small as possible and of vapour should be as high as possible to give less superheating of vapour. High latent heat of vaporization to get more refrigeration effect. Large conductivity to reduce size of condenser and evaporator. Low specific volume of vapour.
