Abstract
The present technology relates to compositional blends that can be used as refrigerants, and more specifically to blends of vinylidene fluoride and at least one other component for use in very low temperature applications. In at least some examples, the second component can be selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide and pentafluoroethane. Further, the compositions can be azeotropic or azeotrope-like.
Claims14
A refrigerant composition comprising a mixture of vinylidene fluoride and a second component, wherein the mixture has an ozone depletion potential of less than about 0.001, and a Global Warming Potential relative to carbon dioxide for an Integration Time Horizon of 100 years that is less than about 1,000.
A method of using a composition as a refrigerant, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a refrigeration system;
- and
- adding a composition as a refrigerant to the refrigeration system, the composition comprising vinylidene fluoride and a second component.
