This invention belongs to the field of
refrigeration,
heat pump, and low-boiling-point
power cycle technology. It discloses an
environmentally friendly mixed
refrigerant that can be used in low-ambient-temperature heat pumps and replace R410A, comprising a first component, a second component, and a possible third component. The first component is
difluoromethane (R32), the second component is
hexafluoropropylene (R1216), and the possible third component is one of
propane (R290) or
carbon dioxide (R744). The
environmentally friendly mixed
refrigerant provided by this invention, when used to replace R410A, has a significantly lower
global warming potential (GWP) than R410A, demonstrating a clear
advantage in environmental friendliness. The thermodynamic properties of the
environmentally friendly mixed
refrigerant provided by this invention are comparable to or even superior to R410A, making it a complete replacement for R410A in
refrigeration,
heat pump, and low-boiling-point
power cycle systems. Furthermore, it can be used in ultra-low temperature heat pumps, possessing broad application prospects.
