R11 is a colorless and odorless CFC refrigerant that was completely banned from production under the Montreal Protocol for depleting the ozone. It is a low-pressure refrigerant that was commonly used in centrifugal chillers, and before the 1970’s it was used as a propellant for aerosols. The refrigerant is typically stored in orange drums or containers.
