What is the significance of temperature glide in refrigerant selection?

Temperature glide refers to the difference between the bubble point and dew point temperatures of a refrigerant mixture. A refrigerant with a high temperature glide may not be suitable for systems requiring precise temperature control, as it can lead to unstable operation and reduced efficiency. The Refrigerants Data table provides temperature glide values for each refrigerant, enabling users to make informed decisions when selecting a refrigerant for their application.
