Near-Azeotropic blends of: pentafluoroethane and 1,1,1-trifluoroethane with one or more of chlorodifluoromethane, 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1-chloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1-chloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoropropane, and perfluorocyclopropane; chlorodifluoromethane and pentafluoroethane with one or more of ethane, butane, isobutane, dimethyl ether, propylene, and difluoromethane; chlorodifluoromethane with 1,1,1-trifluoroethane and 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, propane and pentafluoroethane, or 1,1,1-trifluoroethane and octafluoropropane; and pentafluoroethane with fluoroethane and 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, along with their use as refrigerants.
A near-azeotropic composition consisting essentially of 35-65 percent by weight pentafluoroethane, 30-60 percent by weight 1,1,1-trifluoroethane and 3-15 percent by weight 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane and having a vapor pressure of about 164 to about 177 psia at about 24.degree. C., wherein the composition exhibits a change in vapor pressure of less than about 6.8 percent after about 80 weight percent of the composition is lost by evaporation, and wherein the amount of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane in the vapor phase of the composition does not increase after about 85 weight percent of the composition is lost by evaporation.
A near-azeotropic composition consisting essentially of 55 percent by weight percent pentafluoroethane, 40 weight percent 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, and about 5 percent by weight 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane and having a vapor pressure of about 164.3 to about 176.3 psia at about 24.degree. C., wherein the composition exhibits a change in vapor pressure of less than about 6.8 percent after about 80 weight percent of the composition is lost by evaporation, and wherein the amount of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane in the vapor phase of the composition does not increase after about 85 weight percent of the composition is lost by evaporation.
