Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing heating in a cascade heat pump having a lower cascade stage and an upper cascade stage, said method comprising condensing a vapor working fluid comprising Z-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene, in a condenser in the upper cascade stage, thereby producing a liquid working fluid; wherein the lower cascade stage contains a working fluid selected from the group consisting of CO2, N2O, E-HFO-1234ye, HFC-1243zf, HFC-125, HFC-143a, HFC-152a, HFC-161 and mixtures thereof; or mixtures thereof with HFC-134a, HFC-32, HFO-1234yf or trans-HFO-1234ze. Also disclosed is a cascade heat pump apparatus containing a working fluid comprising Z-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene in an upper cascade stage and containing a working fluid selected from the group consisting of CO2, N2O, E-HFO-1234ye, HFC-1243zf, HFC-125, HFC-143a, HFC-152a, HFC-161 and mixtures thereof; or mixtures thereof with HFC-134a, HFC-32, HFO-1234yf or trans-HFO-1234ze.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an air conditioning or refrigeration apparatus, and in particular, a chiller apparatus containing a composition comprising 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and 1,2-dichloroethylene, wherein the 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene is cis isomer or primarily cis isomer and wherein the 1,2-dichloroethylene is trans isomer or primarily trans isomer. These chillers may be flooded evaporators or direct expansion evaporators, which utilize centrifugal compressors. Also disclosed herein are methods for producing cooling comprising evaporating a composition comprising cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene in the vicinity of a body to be cooled. Also disclosed herein are compositions comprising cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, wherein the cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene is present at 50 to about 60 weight percent.
