AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is about a mixture of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (also known as r-134a) and organic oil(s). The r-134a is complexed with the organic oil(s) through Van der Waals forces, which can lead to a reduction in the deterioration of the fatty acid. This results in a product that has improved stability and resistance to oxidation.

Problems solved by technology

However, Van Horn and Bale do not appear to teach an operating fluid comprising a polar heat transfer fluid that is complexed to a component of an activated oil blend.
Moreover, Van Horn and Bale each fail to address the global warming concerns associated with refrigerant compositions.
Currently, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and refrigeration accounts for much of the worldwide energy consumption.
Unfortunately, it has yet to be appreciated that certain complexes can be used as a refrigerant to increase energy efficiency or decrease leak rates, or that catalysts can be used to prepare such complexes.

Embodiment Construction

[0040]The following discussion provides many example embodiments of the inventive subject matter. Although each embodiment represents a single combination of inventive elements, the inventive subject matter is considered to include all possible combinations of the disclosed elements. Thus if one embodiment comprises elements A, B, and C, and a second embodiment comprises elements B and D, then the inventive subject matter is also considered to include other remaining combinations of A, B, C, or D, even if not explicitly disclosed.

[0041]It should be noted that while the below description sometimes focuses on a B1™ oil blend, and Bluon™ tdX™ (B1 oil blend injected into a large quantity of r-134a), the inventive subject matter should be interpreted to include other combinations of halo-alkene complexes comprising a heat transfer fluid and a fatty acid.

[0042]FIG. 1 is a schematic illustrating how a composition of the inventive subject matter could be made. First, second and third fatty ...

Abstract

Refrigeration systems are configured to utilize an operating fluid comprising an activated oil blend. The activated oil blend can comprise one or more precursor oils that are blended in a closed vessel containing a catalyst. Preferred operating fluids also comprise a polar heat transfer fluid such as r-134a, wherein at least some of the polar heat transfer molecules are complexed to a component of the activated oil blend.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 731,608, filed on Dec. 31, 2012, which claims the benefit of priority to U.S. provisional application No. 61 / 608,954, filed on Mar. 9, 2012.
