**9.2 Cyclopropane (HC-270)**

Cyclopropane is also a promising refrigerant for domestic refrigerators. Kim et al. carried out simulation and experimental studies using HC-270 as a refrigerant in a single evaporator refrigerator and found encouraging results with respect to energy consumption. It was reported that cyclopropane results in lower energy consumption by 6 to 7% and 17% increase in volumetric capacity as compared to CFC-12 single evaporator refrigerator.
