Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A working fluid for heat cycle, a composition for a heat cycle system containing the working fluid, and a heat cycle system employing the composition are provided. The working fluid contains trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and difluoromethane. A proportion of the total amount of trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and difluoromethane based on the entire amount of the working fluid is higher than 90 mass % and at most 100 mass %. Based on the total amount of trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and difluoromethane, the proportion of trifluoroethylene is at least 10 mass % and less than 70 mass %, the proportion of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is at most 50 mass %, and the proportion of difluoromethane is higher than 30 mass % and at most 75 mass %. The working fluid can replace R410A and has a low global warming potential and high durability.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A working fluid for heat cycle, comprising: trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and difluoromethane, wherein a proportion of a total amount of trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and difluoromethane based on an entire amount of the working fluid is higher than 90 mass % and at most 100 mass %, and based on the total amount of trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and difluoromethane, a proportion of trifluoroethylene is at least 10 mass % and less than 70 mass %, a proportion of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is at most 50 mass %, and a proportion of difluoromethane is higher than 30 mass % and at most 75 mass %. 2. The working fluid according to claim 1 , wherein the proportion of difluoromethane based on the total amount of trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and difluoromethane is higher than 30 mass % and at most 44 mass %. 3. The working fluid according to claim 1 , wherein based on the total amount of trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and difluoromethane, the proportion of trifluoroethylene is at least 20 mass % and less than 70 mass %, and the proportion of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is at most 40 mass %. 4. The working fluid according to claim 1 , wherein based on the total amount of trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and difluoromethane, the proportion of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is at least 5 mass % and at most 40 mass %. 5. A composition for a heat cycle system, comprising the working fluid according to claim 1 and a lubricating oil. 6. A heat cycle system, which employs the composition according to claim 5 . 7. The heat cycle system according to claim 6 , which is a refrigerating apparatus, an air-conditioning apparatus, a power generation system, a heat transport apparatus, or a secondary cooling machine. 8. The heat cycle system according to claim 6 , which is a room air-conditioner, a store package air-conditioner, a building package air-conditioner, a plant package air-conditioner, a gas engine heat pump, a train air-conditioning system, an automobile air-conditioning system, a built-in showcase, a separate showcase, an industrial fridge freezer, an ice making machine, or a vending machine.
