Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A heat transfer method using ternary compositions containing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, 1,1-difluoroethane and difluoromethane, said compositions being especially interesting as a heat transfer fluid in compression refrigeration systems comprising exchangers operation in counterflow mode or in split flow mode with counterflow tendency. The use of a ternary composition of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, 1,1-difluoroethane and difluoromethane as heat transfer fluid in compression-type refrigeration systems with exchangers operating in countercurrent mode or in crossed-current mode with countercurrent tendency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A compression-type refrigeration system comprising a heat exchanger operating in countercurrent mode or in crossed-current mode with countercurrent tendency and a heat transfer fluid comprising a refrigerant consisting essentially of a ternary composition of 45 to 70 wt. % of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, 10 to 40 wt. % of 1,1-difluoroethane and 20 to 25 wt. % of difluoromethane. 2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heat transfer fluid is stabilized with at least one stabilizer. 3. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heat transfer fluid comprises at least one stabilizer selected from the group consisting of nitromethane, ascorbic acid, terephthalic acid, azoles, phenolic compounds, hydroquinone, t-butyl hydroquinone, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, epoxides, hexanediol diglycidyl ether, allyl glycidyl ether, butylphenylglycidyl ether, phosphites, phosphates, phosphonates, thiols and lactones. 4. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heat transfer fluid comprises at least one lubricant selected from the group consisting of mineral oil, alkylbenzene, polyalkylene glycol and polyvinyl ether.
