冷却のためのＥ−１，３，３，３−テトラフルオロプロペンと少なくとも１つのテトラフルオロエタンとを含む冷媒の使用

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method for producing cooling comprising evaporating a liquid refrigerant comprising (a) E-CF3CH=CHF and (b) at least one tetrafluoroethane of the formula C2H2F4; provided that the weight ratio of E-CF3CH=CHF to the total amount of E-CF3CH=CHF and C2H2F4 is from about 0.05 to 0.99, in an evaporator, thereby producing a refrigerant vapor. Also disclosed herein is a method for replacing HCFC-124 or HFC-134a refrigerant in a chiller designed for said refrigerant comprising providing a replacement refrigerant composition comprising (a) E-CF3CH=CHF and (b) at least one tetrafluoroethane of the formula C2H2F4; provided that the weight ratio of E-CF3CH=CHF to the total amount of E-CF3CH=CHF and C2H2F4 is from about 0.05 to 0.99. Also disclosed herein is a chiller apparatus for cooling, said apparatus containing a working fluid comprising a refrigerant comprising (a) E-CF3CH=CHF and (b) at least one tetrafluoroethane of the formula C2H2F4; provided that the weight ratio of E-CF3CH=CHF to the total amount of E-CF3CH=CHF and C2H2F4 is from about 0.05 to 0.99.
