Patent number: 6508950
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel refrigerant mixtures as a substitute for chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF2, HCFC-22). More specifically, the invention is directed to refrigerant mixtures that comprise:
difluoromethane (CH2F2, HFC-32) as the first component;
pentafluoroethane (CHF2CF3, HFC-125) as the second component;
1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (CH2FCF3, HFC-134a) as the third component;
any one of cyclopropane (C3H6, RC-270), 1,1-difluoroethane (CH3CHF2, HFC-152a), 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (CF3CHFCF3, HFC-227ea), 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane (CH3CF2CF3, HFC-245cb), octafluorocyclobutane (C4F8, RC-318), 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane (CHF2CHFCF3, HFC-236ea), bis(difluoromethyl)ether (CHF2OCHF2, HFE-134), pentafluoroethylmethylether (CF3CF2OCH3, HFE-245), n-pentane (C5H12, R-601) and isopentane ((CH3)2CHCH2CH3, R-601a) as the fourth component.
