Abstract: A refrigeration system including a flooded evaporator. The flooded evaporator additionally includes a liquid evaporator refrigerant composition and a vapor evaporator refrigerant composition. The liquid refrigerant composition includes difluoromethane (HFC-32), and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf) and the vapor refrigerant composition includes difluoromethane (HFC-32), and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf). The mass fraction of difluoromethane in the liquid evaporator refrigerant composition is lower than the mass fraction of difluoromethane in the vapor evaporator refrigerant composition and the mass fraction of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene in the liquid evaporator refrigerant composition is greater than the mass fraction of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene in the vapor evaporator refrigerant composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for preparing refrigerant blends comprising one or more purified hydrofluorocarbon compounds, wherein the one or more hydrofluorocarbon compounds have been recovered from one or more refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump systems, and purified.

Abstract: A non-flammable refrigerant mixture is disclosed. The non-flammable refrigerant mixture may include from 20 weight percent to 25.5 weight percent HFO-1234yf, (b) from 20 weight percent to 24.5 weight percent HFC-32, (c) from 24.5 weight percent to 30 weight percent HFC-125, (d) from 25.5 weight percent to 30 weight percent HFC-134a, and optionally (e) from about 0.0001 weight percent to 10 weight percent trans-HFO-1234ze. These refrigerant mixtures are useful as components in compositions also containing non-refrigerant components (e.g., lubricants), in processes to produce cooling, in methods for replacing refrigerants R-404A, R-507, R-407A, R-407C, R-407F and/or R-22, and in refrigeration apparatuses.
