You don't need CFCs for refrigeration. In fact the lateat refrigeration standard is just highly pure propane. But if they can improve the tech to be as compact as a peltier but more efficient it can have applications. I don't see this ever replacing refrigerants.

He's probably talking about HFCs.
Propane is flammable, so has limited applications.

Flammability is not a problem in a low oxygen environment.

I was thinking in the situation of a leak. Of a vehicle's AC system for instance. The only low oxygen environment in the case of a leak would be in space.

The tiny amount if propane in a refrigeration unit is not dangerous even if it were to leak.

Wonderful R290. On the HVACR channel he treats it with a lot of respect. Everything is OEM parts, no upgrades to avoid liability.
