The hydrolysis of halocarbon refrigerants in freeze desalination processes Part 1. Solubility and hydrolysis rates of Freon 114 (CClF2CClF2)

Ant-nest corrosion failure of heat exchangers copper pipes

“…In the first case, the conveyed fluid was Freon, a halocarbon gas well known to be a triggering agent for ant-nest corrosion [13,15]. The hydrolysis of halocarbon refrigerants could lead to the formation of formaldehyde as byproduct.…”
