[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2010-047754 [Patent Document 2] Special Publication No. 2011-522947 [Patent Document 3] Special Publication No. 2011-525204 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-197108 [Patent Document 5] Restated WO96 / 33377 [Patent Document 6] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2015-168696 [Patent Document 7] Re-tabled WO2014 / 038604 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0006] The present disclosure aims to provide a method for filling a mixed refrigerant that can keep the compositional changes during the transfer of a non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant containing trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132(E)), 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), and difluoromethane (HFC-32) within an acceptable range for refrigerant performance. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The inventors of this invention have diligently studied methods for filling liquefied gases in order to solve the problem of compositional changes that occur when transferring a non-azeotropic mixture containing two liquefied gases with different boiling points, stored in such a sealed container, from the liquid side to another container.
[0008] In other words, this disclosure provides a method for filling a non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant containing the following trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132(E)), 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), and difluoromethane (HFC-32).
[0009] The method for filling a mixed refrigerant according to this disclosure is characterized by setting the liquid phase mixing ratio of each refrigerant in the source container before filling a mixed refrigerant (liquid phase) containing non-azeotropic refrigerants HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32 from the source container to the destination container and / or equipment.
[0010] This section describes the mixing ratio of the refrigerant mixture in the source container before transferring it from the source container to the destination container and / or equipment, when the container is filled to its maximum capacity (100% by weight).
[0011] A filling volume of 100% by weight refers to the maximum amount that can be filled into a container, as defined by international transport laws and Japan's High Pressure Gas Safety Act.
[0012] According to Japan's High Pressure Gas Safety Act, the calculation is as follows: ·G = V / C • G: Mass of fluorocarbon (kg) • V: Internal volume of the container (L) • C: Constant depending on the type of fluorocarbon (gas)
[0013] In Japan, the gas filling constant C is defined as the value obtained by dividing 1.05 by the specific gravity of the gas at 48°C.
[0014] The gas filling constant C is determined by international law when exporting, and when passing through tropical regions, it is set as 1.05 divided by the specific gravity of the gas at 65°C.
[0015] The gas filling constant C is determined by international law when exporting, and in non-tropical regions only, it is set as 1.05 divided by the specific gravity of the gas at 45°C.
[0016] When transferring a mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32 from a supplier container to a destination container and / or equipment, a smaller initial filling volume in the supplier container results in a smaller change in the composition of the liquid-phase mixing ratio of HFO-1132(E) in the mixed refrigerant within the supplier container from the start to the completion of the transfer.
[0017] The maximum amount that can be filled with a given gas filling constant C is in the following order: The amount of filling was calculated using the value obtained by dividing 1.05 by the specific gravity of the gas at 45°C. The amount of filling was calculated using the value obtained by dividing >1.05 by the specific gravity of the gas at 48°C. The amount of filling was calculated using the value obtained by dividing >1.05 by the specific gravity of the gas at 65°C.
[0018] This disclosure describes a method for filling a mixed refrigerant, in which the value obtained by dividing [1][3]1.05 by the specific gravity of the gas (a mixed refrigerant including HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32) at 65°C is adopted as the filling constant, and the calculated value is set to a filling amount of 100 wt%.

[0057] By filling a mixed refrigerant according to the filling method of this disclosure, it is possible to keep the compositional changes associated with the transfer and filling of a non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32 within an acceptable range. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0058] The embodiments included in this disclosure are described in detail below.
[0059] <Definition of Terms> In this specification, the term "refrigerant" includes at least compounds that have been assigned a refrigerant number (ASHRAE number) beginning with R, as defined by ISO 817 (International Organization for Standardization), and also includes compounds that have equivalent refrigerant properties even if they have not yet been assigned a refrigerant number.
[0060] Refrigerants are broadly classified into fluorocarbon compounds and non-fluorocarbon compounds based on their chemical structure. Fluorocarbon compounds include hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Non-fluorocarbon compounds include propane (R290), propylene (R1270), butane (R600), isobutane (R600a), etc.

[0062] In this specification, the composition in (2) is referred to as "refrigerant composition" to distinguish it from the refrigerant itself (including mixtures of refrigerants) in (1).
[0063] In this specification, the working fluid for refrigerators referred to in (3) is referred to as "working fluid containing refrigeration oil" to distinguish it from the "refrigerant composition" referred to in (2).
[0064] In this specification, the terms “contains” and “includes” include the concepts of “contains,” “includes,” “substantially consist of,” and “consisting solely of.”
[0065] In this specification, when numerical ranges are described in steps, the upper or lower limit of a numerical range in one step may be arbitrarily combined with the upper or lower limit of a numerical range in another step.
[0066] In this specification, the upper or lower limits of the numerical ranges described may be replaced with values shown in the examples or values that can be uniquely derived from the examples.
[0067] This specification will use the following terms: Trans-1,2-difluoroethylene: HFO-1132(E), R1132(E), (E)-1,2-difluoroethylene, boiling point -52.5℃ 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene:HFO-1234yf, R1234yf, boiling point -29.4℃ Difluoromethane: HFC-32, R32, boiling point -51.7℃ Refrigerant codes R479A: R1132(E): 28.0 wt%, R1234yf: 50.5 wt%, R32: 21.5 wt%
[0068] In recent years, from the perspective of preventing global warming, a review of refrigerants has been underway in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector. In the car air conditioning sector, refrigerants with a GWP of 150 or higher (GWP: Global warming potential) are restricted due to the European F-gas regulations.
[0069] Currently used refrigerants such as R-410A (GWP 2088), R-404A (GWP 3922), R-407C (GWP 1770), and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) (GWP 1430) have high GWPs. In developed countries, stationary refrigeration and air conditioning equipment is regulated not only from the perspective of CO2 reduction but also from the perspective of HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) reduction, and alternative refrigerants are being developed.
[0070] The selection of a refrigerant is considered from a multifaceted perspective, taking into account the application, operating conditions, and other factors, including environmental friendliness, safety, performance, and economic efficiency. Currently, various types of refrigerants are being proposed, along with fluorocarbons and natural refrigerants.
[0071] Currently, no refrigerant exists that satisfies all requirements regarding flammability, efficiency, GWP value, etc. Therefore, refrigerant selection is made on a case-by-case basis, depending on the application, operating conditions, etc.
[0072] Among refrigerants, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf) has a GWP of less than 1 (GWP AR5) and is being considered for use in car air conditioning and large-scale refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132(E)) also has a GWP of less than 1 (GWP AR5) and is being considered for use in large-scale refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Difluoromethane (HFC-32) is a well-balanced refrigerant for air conditioning in terms of environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, safety, and economy.
[0073] In recent years, non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures, which are mixtures of various refrigerants, have been proposed to improve refrigerant performance and make them non-flammable. Many mixtures of HFCs and HFOs (Hydrofluoroolefins) such as HFO-1234yf are non-azeotropic mixtures, and therefore, when phase changes occur, such as evaporation and condensation, compositional changes occur. This is because components with low boiling points evaporate easily, and components with high boiling points condense easily. This tendency is particularly pronounced in the case of evaporation, i.e., phase change from liquid to vapor, and is especially significant when the difference in boiling points of the components of the mixture is large. Therefore, when transferring such non-azeotropic mixtures from a supply container to a destination container, it is generally done by extracting from the liquid side first to avoid phase changes.
[0074] When extracting from the liquid side, a large difference in boiling points between the components of the mixture can cause a compositional change of several weight percent (wt%). This is because the extraction process leads to a decrease in pressure, an increase in the gas phase space, etc., causing evaporation of low-boiling-point components in the liquid phase. This several weight percent compositional change can significantly alter the refrigerant's performance, leading not only to a decrease in capacity and efficiency, but also to a major impact on the safety of the refrigerant, such as its flammability.
[0075] The mixed refrigerant, which consists of two next-generation refrigerants, HFO-1132(E) and HFO-1132(E), is a non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant, raising concerns about compositional changes during the transfer and refilling process.
[0076] (Table 1) HFO-1132(E) (boiling point -52.5°C) and HFC-32 (boiling point -51.7°C), used as mixed refrigerants with HFO-1234yf (boiling point -29.4°C), have very high refrigeration capacity. However, the boiling point difference with HFO-1234yf is nearly 20°C, and the compositional changes that occur when transferring the refrigerant from the supply container (such as cylinders or tank trucks) to the refrigeration and air conditioning equipment or cylinders at the supply destination can become a level that cannot be ignored in terms of performance.
[0077] In addition to the performance aspects of individual refrigerants, ensuring that the compositional changes of a mixed refrigerant remain within the specified tolerances is crucial for quality assurance.
[0078] If a mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32 is transferred at 40°C without any countermeasures, the composition of HFO-1132(E) may deviate from the target composition by up to 3 wt% to 4 wt% once all of the source liquid has evaporated. In this case, the compositional variation from the target composition will be approximately ±4 wt%, and the refrigerant's cooling capacity and energy efficiency (COP, Coefficient of Performance), etc., as expected with the target composition, cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, it is important to minimize the compositional variation of the mixed refrigerant as much as possible.
[0079] Traditionally, the composition of mixed refrigerants has varied greatly depending on the type and composition ratio of the non-azeotropic refrigerant. It is difficult to predict the range of compositional variation of a mixed refrigerant without any actual measurements.
[0080] This disclosure makes it possible to predict in advance the range of compositional variations in a mixed refrigerant.
[0081] In this disclosure, the boiling point of HFO-1132(E) (boiling point -52.5°C) is lower than that of HFO-1234yf (boiling point -29.4°C) or HFC-32 (boiling point -51.7°C). During transfer and refilling, when the refrigerant is removed and the resulting space is filled by evaporation from the liquid phase side, more HFO-1132(E) evaporates, causing the concentration of HFO-1132(E) in the liquid phase to decrease. Therefore, it is preferable to fill the supply container before transfer and refilling with more HFO-1132(E) than the target composition.
[0082] In this disclosure, regarding the amount of liquid filling in the supply container, the smaller the initial filling amount, the smaller the range of compositional changes due to the liquid transfer from the supply container to the destination container and / or equipment, from the start to the completion of the transfer.
[0083] In this disclosure, formulas that satisfy a filling method with an initial filling amount of 100% by weight also satisfy filling methods with an initial filling amount between 100% and 0% by weight. Formulas that satisfy a filling method with an initial filling amount of 90% by weight also satisfy filling methods with an initial filling amount between 90% and 0% by weight. Formulas that satisfy a filling method with an initial filling amount of 80% by weight also satisfy filling methods with an initial filling amount between 80% and 0% by weight. Formulas that satisfy a filling method with an initial filling amount of 70% by weight also satisfy filling methods with an initial filling amount between 70% and 0% by weight. Formulas that satisfy a filling method with an initial filling amount of 60% by weight also satisfy filling methods with an initial filling amount between 60% and 0% by weight. Formulas that satisfy a filling method with an initial filling amount of 50% by weight also satisfy filling methods with an initial filling amount between 50% and 0% by weight.
[0084] In this disclosure, the difference between the target upper limit composition and the target lower limit composition is referred to as the Composition Tolerance. The tolerance is determined when the composition of the refrigerant mixture is registered with ASHRAE Standard 2013 (Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants), etc.
[0085] This disclosure shows an example of a transfer and filling method when the handling temperature during transfer and filling is 40°C. Since Japan's High Pressure Gas Safety Act prohibits handling containers at temperatures above 40°C, the handling temperature during transfer and filling in Japan is between 0°C and 40°C.
[0086] This disclosure states that the higher the temperature during transfer (handling), the greater the change in composition due to the transfer from the source container to the destination container and / or equipment when transferring liquid from the source container to the destination container and / or equipment, from the start to the completion of the transfer. Therefore, by applying the transfer conditions at a handling temperature of 40°C, it is also possible to apply them to handling temperatures from 0°C to 40°C.
[0087] Filling method for each filling volume In the filling method for each filling amount of this disclosure, "±a" (set tolerance) is the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the allowable range when the target composition (x) of HFO-1132(E) is used as the reference value, and represents the allowable "deviation" from the target composition.
[0088] The value of a is preferably set to the range 2 ≤ a ≤ 4.
[0089] The method for filling mixed refrigerants in each filling volume of the present disclosure allows for keeping the compositional changes in the receiving container and / or equipment within an acceptable range of ±a% by weight of the target composition until the transfer is completed, by setting the liquid phase mixing ratio of HFO-1132(E) in the supply container to a specific range before transfer, even if the amount of mixed refrigerant filled in the supply container is 100% by weight of the maximum filling volume.
[0090] In the filling method for each filling volume of this disclosure, the "target composition" of HFO-1132(E) is the HFO-1132(E) concentration in the overall composition (liquid phase + gas phase) of the mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, as required in the container and / or equipment of the supply destination.
[0091] Filling method for each set tolerance (when fixing the amount of HFC-32 to be filled) [1] A method for filling mixed refrigerant when the filling amount is set to 100 wt%, using the value obtained by dividing 1.05 by the specific gravity of the gas (mixed refrigerant including HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32) at 65°C as the filling constant.
[0092] (1) Filling method when the difference between the target upper limit composition and the target lower limit composition is 4.0% by weight (Table 2) <Method for filling mixed refrigerants at 65°C (range from upper limit (weight%) to (upper limit - 4.0) (weight%))> This section describes the mixing ratio of the mixed refrigerant in the source container before the transfer, in order to keep the liquid phase mixing ratio of HFO-1132(E) in the mixed refrigerant in the source container within the range of 30% by weight (target upper limit composition) to 4.0% by weight (target lower limit composition) from the target upper limit composition of HFO-1132(E) when transferring the mixed refrigerant from the source container to the destination container and / or equipment, from the start to the completion of the transfer.
[0093] "Target upper limit composition: 30% by weight" is the maximum value within which the composition of HFO-1132(E) in the overall composition (liquid phase + gas phase) of a mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32 is permitted to fall within the range required in the supplied container and / or equipment.
[0094] The "Target Lower Limit Composition: 30%-4.0% by weight" is the minimum acceptable range for the composition of HFO-1132(E) in the overall composition (liquid phase + gas phase) of a mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, as required in the supplied container and / or equipment.

The method for filling a mixed refrigerant into a receiving container and / or equipment, when the amount of mixed refrigerant to be filled into the receiving container and / or equipment is adjusted as appropriate, wherein the mixed refrigerant comprises HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, and the mixed refrigerant, in which HFO-1132(E) is present in an amount of 26% to 30% by weight in the liquid phase relative to 100% by weight of the total of HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, is filled from the supplying container to the receiving container and / or equipment. When performing liquid transfer and filling, in order to keep the liquid-phase mixing ratio of HFO-1132(E) in the mixed refrigerant in the source container within the range of 30% by weight (target upper limit composition) to 30% by weight - 4.0% by weight (target lower limit composition) of HFO-1132(E) from the start to the completion of the transfer and filling, the liquid-phase mixing ratio (initial composition) of HFO-1132(E) in the mixed refrigerant in the source container before the start of the transfer and filling is set to 27.7% by weight (minimum value) or more and 30% by weight (target upper limit composition) or less.
[0096] By filling a mixed refrigerant according to the filling method of this disclosure, even if the amount of mixed refrigerant in the source container is 100% by weight of the maximum filling amount, by setting the liquid phase mixing ratio of HFO-1132(E) in the source container to a specific range before the transfer filling is performed, the compositional changes in the destination container and / or equipment can be kept within the range of a target upper limit composition of 30% by weight - 4.0% by weight (target lower limit composition) to a target upper limit composition of 30% by weight until the transfer filling is completed.
[0097] Liquid phase mixing ratio of HFO-1132(E) in the mixed refrigerant in the supply container This disclosure is characterized by setting the liquid phase mixing ratio (initial composition) of HFO-1132(E) in the mixed refrigerant in the source container before the start of transfer filling to 27.7% by weight (minimum value) or more and 30% by weight (target upper composition) or less, in order to keep the target upper composition of HFO-1132(E) within the range of 30% by weight to 4.0% by weight (target lower composition) to 30% by weight (target upper composition).
[0098] 30% by weight is the target upper limit composition (by weight) for HFO-1132(E).
[0099] 27.7% by weight represents the minimum liquid-phase mixing ratio (initial composition) of HFO-1132(E) in the mixed refrigerant within the supply container.
[0100] (2) Filling method when the difference between the target upper limit composition and the target lower limit composition is 3.0% by weight (Table 8) <Method for filling mixed refrigerants at 65°C (range from upper limit (weight%) to (upper limit - 3.0) (weight%))> This section describes the mixing ratio of the mixed refrigerant in the source container before the transfer, in order to keep the liquid-phase mixing ratio of HFO-1132(E) in the mixed refrigerant in the source container within the range of 29.5% by weight to 3.0% by weight (target lower limit composition) of HFO-1132(E) from the target upper limit composition of 29.5% by weight to the target lower limit composition, when transferring mixed refrigerant from the source container to the destination container and / or equipment, from the start to the completion of the transfer.
[0101] The "Target Upper Limit Composition: 29.5% by weight" is the maximum allowable range for the composition of HFO-1132(E) in the overall composition (liquid phase + gas phase) of a mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, as required in the supplied container and / or equipment.
[0102] The "Target Lower Limit Composition: 29.5% by weight - 3.0% by weight" is the minimum acceptable range for the composition of HFO-1132(E) in the overall composition (liquid phase + gas phase) of a mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, as required in the supplied container and / or equipment.

[0243] [5] When a third component is added to a mixed refrigerant The mixed refrigerants of this disclosure are, in particular, mixed refrigerants containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, in which HFO-1132(E) is present in an amount of 26% to 30% by weight.
[0244] The mixed refrigerant of this disclosure allows for the addition of other non-azeotropic compounds to improve the properties of the mixed refrigerant, which includes HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, to the extent that it does not significantly impair the composition variation of the mixed refrigerant, for the purpose of improving compatibility with refrigeration oil, suppressing flammability, reducing GWP, and improving refrigeration capacity.
[0245] In the mixed refrigerant of this disclosure, the amount of other non-azeotropic compounds added is preferably about 1% to 10% by weight relative to 100% by weight of the total mixed refrigerant.
[0246] Other non-azeotropic compounds that may be included in the mixed refrigerants of this disclosure are not particularly limited.

[0247] [6] Supplier container The supply container is preferably a sealed container capable of storing the mixed refrigerant. The supply container is preferably a sealed container such as a service can, a 5L to 1,000L cylinder, an ISO container, a tanker truck, or a stationary storage tank.
[0248] When the supply container has a small capacity and the amount dispensed at one time is large, the mixed refrigerant is susceptible to changes in composition.
[0249] The filling method of this disclosure is valid even if the initial amount of mixed refrigerant in the supply container is 60% to 100% by weight of the maximum filling amount, and the transfer can be carried out in any number of steps until the transfer is complete, or even if the transfer is interrupted midway without transferring all of the liquid phase.
[0250] [7] Containers of the supplier The receiving container and / or equipment is preferably a sealed container capable of storing the mixed refrigerant supplied from the supplying container.
[0251] The containers to which the product is supplied are preferably sealed containers such as service cans, 5L to 1,000L cylinders, ISO containers, tanker trucks, and stationary storage tanks.
[0252] The equipment supplied is preferably heating and cooling equipment, freezers, refrigerators, hot water supply equipment, etc. The equipment supplied is preferably a device utilizing a vapor compression refrigeration cycle, and more preferably a refrigeration and air conditioning system, refrigerator, hot water supply equipment, etc.
[0253] A vapor compression refrigeration system manufactured using the filling method of this disclosure consists of a refrigerant and a refrigeration system body. There are no particular restrictions on the refrigeration system body, and any known refrigeration system body can be used as is.
[0254] [8] Means of transfer and filling, and examples of applications In the filling method of this disclosure, the means of transfer filling can be in accordance with conventional methods, preferably those that utilize a pressure difference, those that use a pump, etc.
[0255] In Japan, the High Pressure Gas Safety Act prohibits the handling of containers at temperatures above 40°C; therefore, the handling temperature during transfer and filling is basically between 0°C and 40°C. International law also requires that handling at high temperatures be avoided.
[0256] The higher the temperature during transfer (handling), the greater the compositional change due to the transfer. By applying the transfer conditions for a handling temperature of 40°C according to the filling method of this disclosure, it is also applicable to handling temperatures from 0°C to 40°C. [Examples]
[0257] The following provides further details with reference to examples. However, this disclosure is not limited to these examples.
[0258] Reference example (Table 1) A 10L sealed container (the supply container) was filled with the maximum possible amount of trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132(E)), 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), and difluoromethane (HFC-32) at the composition immediately before transfer, so that the liquid phase would have a certain composition at 40°C, and the container was maintained at 40°C.
[0259] The maximum fillable volume is determined by law and is calculated as follows: ·G = V / C • G: Mass of fluorocarbon (kg) • V: Internal volume of the container (L) • C: Constant depending on the type of fluorocarbon
[0260] In Japan, the gas filling constant C is defined as the value obtained by dividing 1.05 by the specific gravity of the gas at 48°C.
[0261] The gas filling constant C is determined by international law when exporting, and when passing through tropical regions, it is set as 1.05 divided by the specific gravity of the gas at 65°C.
[0262] The gas filling constant C is determined by international law when exporting, and in non-tropical regions only, it is set as 1.05 divided by the specific gravity of the gas at 45°C.
[0263] In this study, we adopted a value obtained by dividing 1.05 by the specific gravity of the gas at 45°C or 65°C as the packing constant.
[0264] The reason for selecting 40°C as the temperature during transfer and filling is as follows: • Japan's High Pressure Gas Safety Act prohibits the handling of containers at temperatures exceeding 40°C. • International law and other regulations require that handling at high temperatures be avoided. • The higher the temperature, the greater the change in composition. The data obtained at 40°C is considered to represent the worst-case scenario.
[0265] Next, a pump was used to gradually transfer the liquid from the liquid side to another empty container (the receiving container). A sample of the gas was taken from a sampling valve installed in the middle of the liquid side extraction pipe, and its component composition was analyzed using gas chromatography.
[0266] When fixing the amount of difluoromethane (HFC-32) being filled Table 1 shows the results of compositional changes (HFC-32 fixed: 21.5% by weight) during transfer filling, when the filling volume was calculated using a value obtained by dividing 1.05 by the specific gravity of the gas at 45°C as the filling constant.
[0267] Table 1 shows that the concentration of HFO-1132(E) in the mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32 at the completion of transfer and filling was lower than at the start of transfer and filling. This is because the boiling point of HFO-1132(E) (boiling point -52.5°C) is lower than that of HFO-1234yf (boiling point -29.4°C) or HFC-32 (boiling point -51.7°C). During transfer and filling, when the refrigerant is removed and the resulting space is filled by evaporation from the liquid phase, more HFO-1132(E) evaporates, causing the concentration of HFO-1132(E) in the liquid phase to decrease.
[0268] It was found that it is preferable to fill the supplier's container with more HFO-1132(E) than the target composition before transferring it.
[0269] Table 1 shows that for a mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, if a target composition is set and the upper and lower composition range including this target is set to 2% to 4% by weight, and no measures are taken, and a composition within that composition range is used as the initial composition when transfer filling begins, there is a possibility that the composition of HFO-1132(E) at the time of completion of transfer filling (when the liquid disappears) will fall below the target lower limit composition.
[0270] If a mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32 is transferred without any precautions, the refrigerant capacity, such as refrigeration capacity and COP, that was expected with the target composition cannot be guaranteed from the start to the completion of the transfer.
[0271] When transferring a mixed refrigerant containing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32, we clarified what composition range the initial composition should be set within to ensure that the composition from the start of the transfer to the completion of the transfer falls entirely within the target lower and upper limits, given a target composition, a target upper limit, and a target lower limit.
[0272] [Table 1]
[0273] Filling method for each set tolerance A 10L sealed container (the supplier's container) was filled with HFO-1132(E), HFO-1234yf, and HFC-32 at 40°C to the maximum possible amount (100% by weight) that could be filled with the original composition, so that the liquid phase would have a certain composition at 40°C, and the container was maintained at 40°C.
[0274] The initial composition of the liquid phase of HFO-1132(E) before transfer was adjusted to reach the target upper limit composition. Next, as in the reference example, the liquid was gradually transferred from the liquid side to another empty container (the receiving container) using a pump, and the component composition was analyzed.
