Then, that cold water flows into the refrigeration or air conditioning system to help chill refrigerant liquid.

然后，冷水流入制冷或空调系统，帮助冷却制冷剂液体。

The electricity is often produced by burning fossil fuels, and the refrigerant gases also exacerbate climate change.

而冷藏所需的电力通常是由燃烧的化石燃料生产的，且制冷气体也会进一步加剧气候变化。

These include air conditioners that can use heat pumps, and water, instead of chemicals like HFCs as a refrigerant.

其中包括可以使用热泵和水，而不是像氢氟碳化合物这样的化学物质作为制冷剂。

These could be a liquid noble gas, germanium and silicon crystals, a refrigerant, or other materials.

这些可能是液态惰性气体、锗和硅晶体、制冷剂或其他材料。

And we’ll have to switch over to refrigerants that, even if they do leak, won’t trap heat.

而且我们必须改用即使泄漏也不会积聚热量的制冷剂。

I mean, there is a huge industry, of course, that made these air conditioners and refrigerants that had these chemicals.

我的意思是，当然，有一个巨大的行业制造了这些含有这些化学物质的空调和制冷剂。

About 80% of the chlorine in the atmosphere is a legacy of chlorofluorocarbons, chemicals used in aerosol sprays and as refrigerants starting in the 1930s.

大约80%的氯气在大气中是氯氟烃的遗留物，这是从20世纪30年代开始使用的气溶胶喷雾剂和制冷剂。

And so, we were able to swap out the air conditioners and the refrigerants that had these nasty ozone-destroying chemicals with ones that didn't.

因此，我们能够将含有这些有害臭氧破坏化学物质的空调和制冷剂换成不含这些化学物质的空调和制冷剂。

In addition to that, ammonia is also used as a refrigerant gas, as well as in the manufacture of plastic, fabrics, pesticides and to purify water supplies.

除此之外，氨还用作制冷剂气体，以及用于制造塑料、织物、杀虫剂和净化供水。

A 1987 agreement called the Montreal Protocol banned a series of chemicals — mainly used in refrigerants and aerosols — believed to have reduced the thickness of the ozone layer.

1987 年签署的《蒙特利尔议定书》禁止使用一系列化学物质——主要用于制冷剂和气雾剂——据信这些化学物质减小了臭氧层的厚度。
