Indian Railways are replacing refrigerant in AC coaches which uses
harmful gases, with an ozone-friendly air-conditioning system in
trains.
The new refrigerants are more eco-friendly. The Railways have
converted 11 coaches equipped with conventional under-slung AC plants
with eco-friendly refrigerants. The depletion of the ozone layer,
which blocks the entry of harmful infrared radiation of the sun
towards the earth and thus acts as heat insulation for keeping the
temperature of the earth under control, will disturb the ecological
balance.
