<p>A refrigerant composition for use in a vapour-compression refrigeration apparatus as a replacement for currently used refrigerants R22 and R12 comprises a mixture of pentafluoroethane (R125), tetrafluoroethane (R134a), a hydrocarbon selected from isobutane (R600a) and propane (R290), and optionally octafluoroethane (R218). The composition contains no chlorine atoms and is non-depleting to atmospheric ozone; but specific compositions have pressure-temperature relations substantially the same as R22 and R12 thereby allowing their use as direct replacements therefor in existing refrigeration apparatus.</p> |
