Radiator Another word for heating element. They must be filled with water in order to be used with F1245. Refrigerant Substance that circulates around a closed circuit in the heat pump and that, through pressure changes, evaporates and condenses. During evaporation, the refrigerant absorbs heating energy and during condensing, gives off heating energy.
