Can freon from a car be used on refrigerator?

Freon from a car cannot directly be used in a refrigerator. Freon, a commonly used term for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) refrigerants, is being phased out due to its impact on the ozone layer. In 1987, the Montreal Protocol was established, leading to the global phase-out of ozone-depleting substances, including CFCs and HCFCs. However, there are refrigerants that serve as substitutes for CFCs and HCFCs, and they are typically used in refrigerators and air conditioning systems today.

Using freon from a car in a refrigerator would require modifications and expertise to ensure proper compatibility with the refrigeration system, safety measures, and adherence to environmental regulations.
