Embodiment 1
[0052] Example 1: Automotive AC conditions
[0053] This example illustrates the performance of embodiments A1-A3 and B1-B3 of the present invention when used as a substitute for HFC-134a in an automotive AC refrigerant system. The system has an evaporator temperature (ET) of about 4°C, a degree of superheat at the evaporator outlet of about 5°C, a condenser temperature (CT) of about 60°C, and a subcooling of about 5°C. The system has a degree of superheat at the suction line of about 10°C and an efficiency of about 70%.
[0054] The coefficient of performance (COP) is a generally accepted measure of the performance of a refrigerant, and is especially useful for representing the relative thermodynamic efficiency of the refrigerant in a specific heating or cooling cycle involving the evaporation or condensation of the refrigerant. In refrigeration engineering, the term expresses the ratio of useful refrigeration to the energy applied by the compressor when compressing vapor. The c...
Embodiment 2
[0060] Example 2: Automotive AC conditions
[0061] This example exemplifies a composition within the scope of certain aspects of the present invention, namely compositions B4-B6 that do not contain HFC-152a but contain HFC-134a, which uses the automotive AC system operating as in Example 1. The results are reported in the table below:
[0062]
[0063] As can be seen from the results reported above, the composition containing no HFC-152a but containing HFC-134a according to the teachings contained herein exhibits an excellent but unexpected combination of properties, including low GWP, low burning rate and hazard Value and excellent capacity and COP. The slip of such compositions may be higher than required for some applications, but is acceptable for many applications.
Embodiment 3
[0068] Example 3: Medium temperature conditions
[0069] This example illustrates the performance of the embodiments A1-A3 and B1-B3 of the present invention when used as a substitute for HFC-134a in a medium temperature refrigerant system. This system has an evaporator temperature (ET) of about -10°C, a superheating degree at the evaporator outlet of about 5°C, a condenser temperature (CT) of about 5°C, and a subcooling system of about 5°C. The system has a degree of superheat at the suction line of about 45°C and an efficiency of about 70%.
[0070] The observed properties of the composition and its performance in an exemplary medium temperature system are as follows:
[0071]
[0072] The Ev total slip and the hazard value were each measured as described in Example 1 above.
