  • Publication number: 20240117232
    Abstract: A refrigerant composition includes about 90-92 wt % difluoromethane and about 8-10 wt % pentafluoroethane. The refrigerant composition is formed from all recycled materials, and the refrigerant composition is a zeotrope. A method of preparing the refrigerant composition includes injecting a mixture of recovered refrigerants into the center of a distillation column, the mixture of injected refrigerants being difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane and chlorodifluoromethane, removing from the top of the distillation column a refrigerant composition of about 90-92 wt % difluoromethane and about 8-10 wt % pentafluoroethane, and removing chlorodifluoromethane from a bottom of the distillation column.

  • Patent number: 11746271
    Abstract: A refrigerant composition includes about 90-92 wt % difluoromethane and about 8-10 wt % pentafluoroethane. The refrigerant composition is formed from all recycled materials, and the refrigerant composition has a net global warming potential of about 0. A method of preparing the refrigerant composition includes injecting a mixture of recovered refrigerants into the center of a distillation column, the mixture of injected refrigerants being difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane and chlorodifluoromethane, removing from the top of the distillation column a refrigerant composition of about 90-92 wt % difluoromethane and about 8-10 wt % pentafluoroethane, and removing chlorodifluoromethane from a bottom of the distillation column.
