Abstract: One of the problems is to provide a solvent composition which has a little adverse effect on the global environment and has excellent stability when a compound having a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) group is in a solution state. In an embodiment, the problem is solved by providing a solvent composition for dissolving a compound having a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) group includes Z-1,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1223xd(Z)) as a main component.

Abstract: A novel hydrochlorofluoroolefin-based composition contains Z-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, 1-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropane, and water. In the composition, the proportions of Z-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, 1-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropane, and water are 55.00 mass % to 99.98 mass %, 0.01 mass % to 44.99 mass %, and 0.01 mass % to 10.00 mass %, respectively, with respect to the total amount of Z-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, 1-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropane, and water.

Abstract: An object is to provide a hydrofluoroolefin-based or hydrochlorofluoroolefin-based azeotropic or azeotropic-like composition. The azeotropic or azeotropic-like composition contains trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and 1-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene. In the azeotropic or azeotropic-like composition, 1-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene exists in an effective amount to form an azeotropic or azeotropic-like mixture with trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a heat pump that can use, as a refrigerant, a substance with which a geometric isomer exists, and a method for designing the same. The present invention is a method for designing a heat pump (1) whose closed circuit configured by connecting a compressor (2), a condenser (3), an expansion valve (4), and an evaporator (5) in this order is filled with a refrigerant containing a refrigerant substance with which a geometric isomer may exist, the method including obtaining an upper limit of stable temperature at which isomerization of the refrigerant substance does not proceed, and setting an upper limit usage temperature of the heat pump (1) so as not to exceed the upper limit of the stable temperature.
