  • Patent number: 10619082
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerant composition having a reduced amount of comprehensive environmental load, in which the refrigerant composition has low GWP (direct impact on global warming is low), and has good energy efficiency (indirect impact on global warming is low) when used in a device. The present invention provides a refrigerant composition comprising 30 to 50 mass % of difluoromethane (HFC32) and 70 to 50 mass % of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO1234yf).

  • Patent number: 10294400
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mixed refrigerant having (1) a superior cooling COP compared to R410A, which is an existing alternative refrigerant to R22, and (2) an equal or superior refrigerating effect in comparison with R22, even under conditions of use in which the condensation temperature setting is high, such as at a high outside air temperature. The present invention pertains to a composition containing refrigerants, the refrigerant containing HFC-32, HFC-125, and HFC-134a, the mass ratio of the three components being, in a ternary composition diagram having the three components as respective apexes, in the range of a triangle having the following three points as apexes: point A (HFC32/HFC125/HFC134a=36/25/39 mass %); point B (HFC32/HFC125/HFC134a=36/31/33 mass %); and point C (HFC32/HFC125/HFC134a=43/34/23 mass %).

  • Patent number: 10253231
    Abstract: The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel mixed refrigerant that can be an alternative for HCFC-123, has a low ODP and a low GWP, has a COP equal to that of HCFC-123, and has a refrigerating capacity and gas density higher than those of single refrigerants, such as HCFO-1233zd(E) and HFC-245fa, which are being considered as alternative refrigerants for HCFC-123. A composition comprising a refrigerant, wherein the refrigerant comprises HCFO-1233zd(E) and HFC-245fa, and has a mass ratio of HCFO-1233zd(E) to HFC-245fa of 18:82 to 49:51 is provided as a means for solving the above problem.
