Refrigerant charge
The amount of refrigerant contained within the airc conditioning equipment and required for proper operation.
Refrigerant lines

Refrigeration
The process of the absorption of heat from one location and its transfer to another for rejection or recuperation.
Refrigeration capacity
A measure of the effective cooling capacity of a refrigerator, expressed in BTU per hour or in tons, where one (1) ton of capacity is equal to the heat required to melt 2,000 pounds of ice in 24 hours or 12,000 BTU per hour.
Refrigeration cycle
The complete cycle of stages (evaporation and condensation) of refrigeration or of the refrigerant.
Refrigeration system
A mechanism used for cooling, such as an air conditioner or refrigerator.
Refuse-derived fuel (rdf)
A solid fuel produced by shredding municipal solid waste (MSW). Noncombustible materials such as glass and metals are generally removed prior to making RDF. The residual material is sold as-is or compressed into pellets, bricks, or logs. RDF processing facilities are typically located near a source of MSW, while the RDF combustion facility can be located elsewhere. Existing RDF facilities process between 100 and 3,000 tons per day.
