Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods of heating and/or cooling of electronic components, articles and/or devices during the manufacture and/or operation thereof comprising: providing an electronic component, article or device which is being manufactured and/or being operated for its intended purpose; and transferring heat to and/or from said electronic component, article and/or device during at least a portion of said manufacturing and/or operating process by directly or indirectly transferring heat between said electronic component, article and/or device and a refrigerant fluid comprising at least 1,3,4,4,4-pentafluoro-(3-trifluoromethyl)-but-1-ene.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of heating and/or cooling of electronic components, articles and/or devices during the manufacture and/or operation thereof comprising: (a) providing an electronic component, article or device which is being manufactured and/or being operated for its intended purpose; and (b) transferring heat to and/or from said electronic component, article and/or device during at least a portion of said manufacturing and/or operating process by directly or indirectly transferring heat between said electronic component, article and/or device and a refrigerant fluid comprising at least trans-1,3,4,4,4-pentafluoro-(3-trifluoromethyl)-but-1-ene (hereinafter “HFO-1438ezy(E)”). 2 . The method of claim 1 wherein said step of transferring heat comprises direct heat transfer. 3 . The method of claim 1 wherein said step of transferring heat comprises indirect heat transfer. 4 . The method of claim 1 wherein said refrigerant fluid comprises at least about 10% by weigh of HFO-1438ezy(E). 5 . The method of claim 1 wherein said refrigerant fluid comprises at least about 50% by weigh of HFO-1438ezy(E). 6 . The method of claim 1 wherein said refrigerant fluid comprises at least about 75% by weigh of HFO-1438ezy(E). 7 . The method of claim 1 wherein said refrigerant fluid comprises at least about 90% by weigh of HFO-1438ezy(E). 8 . The method of claim 1 wherein said refrigerant fluid consists essentially of HFO-1438ezy(E). 9 . The method of claim 1 wherein said refrigerant fluid consists of HFO-1438ezy(E). 10 . The method of claim 1 wherein said step of transferring heat comprises cooling said electronic component, article and/or device by transferring heat from said electronic component, article and/or device to said refrigerant during at least a portion of said manufacturing and/or operating process. 11 . The method of claim 1 wherein said providing step comprises providing an electronic component comprising an integrated circuit. 12 . The method of claim 1 wherein said electronic component is in a server. 13 . The method of claim 12 wherein said server is a data center server. 14 . The method of claim 1 wherein said providing step comprises providing a battery. 15 . The method of claim 14 wherein said battery is in an electric or hybrid vehicle. 16 . The method of claim 1 wherein said step of transferring heat comprises at least partially immersing said electronic component, article and/or device in said refrigerant fluid. 17 . The method of claim 16 wherein said step of transferring heat comprises fully immersing said electronic component, article and/or device in said refrigerant fluid. 18 . The method of claim 1 wherein said providing step comprises providing an electronic article during the process of manufacturing said electronic article. 19 . The method of claim 16 wherein said electronic article is a wafer. 20 . The method of claim 17 wherein said process of manufacturing said wafer comprises etching a portion of said wafer.
