  2. Automotive air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_air_conditioning

    CO 2 does not deplete the ozone layer. Because the carbon dioxide used in car air conditioning is a recycled industrial waste product, it is an environmentally neutral solution. The Alliance claims that using a CO 2-based air conditioning system will reduce total car emissions by 10%, thereby sparing the planet 1% of total greenhouse gases.

  3. Starting fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starting_fluid

    Starting fluid is sprayed into the engine intake near the air filter, or into the carburetor bore or a spark plug hole of an engine to get added fuel to the combustion cylinder quickly. Using starting fluid to get the engine running faster avoids wear to starters and fatigue to one's arm with pull start engines, especially on rarely used machines.

  4. Chloroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroethane

    Chloroethane, commonly known as ethyl chloride, is a chemical compound with chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 Cl, once widely used in producing tetraethyllead, a gasoline additive. It is a colorless, flammable gas or refrigerated liquid with a faintly sweet odor.

  5. Heated air inlet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_air_inlet

    A heated air inlet or warm air intake is a system commonly used on the original air cleaner assemblies of carburetted engines to increase the temperature of the air going into the engine for the purpose of improving the consistency of the air/fuel mixture to reduce engine emissions and fuel usage. [1]

  6. Chloroform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform

    Chloroform, [10] or trichloromethane (often abbreviated as TCM), is an organochloride with the formula C H Cl 3 and a common solvent.It is a volatile, colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid produced on a large scale as a precursor to refrigerants and PTFE. [11]

  7. Ethylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

    Ethylene glycol is widely used to inhibit the formation of natural gas clathrates (hydrates) in long multiphase pipelines that convey natural gas from remote gas fields to a gas processing facility. Ethylene glycol can be recovered from the natural gas and reused as an inhibitor after purification treatment that removes water and inorganic salts.

  8. Tetrachloroethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrachloroethylene

    Oxidation of tetrachloroethylene by ultraviolet radiation in air produces trichloroacetyl chloride and phosgene: 4 C 2 Cl 4 + 3 O 2 → 2 CCl 3 COCl + 4 COCl 2. This reaction can be halted by using amines and phenols (usually N-methylpyrrole and N-methylmorpholine) as stabilisers. But the reaction can be done intentionally to produce ...

  9. Hydrofluoroether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoroether

    They are sometimes applied as blends such as HFE 7100, which is a mixture of methyl nonafluorobutyl ether (methoxyperfluorobutane) and methyl nonafluoroisobutyl ether. [ 2 ] 3M produces hydrofluoroether compounds under the names Novec 7000, 7100, 7200, 7300, 7500, and 7700 as liquid coolants for many applications including full immersion ...
