Reclamation processes including azeotropic and other close-boiling thermal management fluids

Abstract

A process of thermal management fluid reclamation is provided. The process includes collecting at least one recovered thermal management fluid including at least a first refrigerant compound and a second refrigerant compound to form a collected thermal management fluid; and forming a blend constituent from the collected thermal management fluid in the absence of distillation or substantially in the absence of distillation. The blend constituent is azeotropic, azeotrope-like, or close-boiling. The blend constituent is configured to be combined with (i) one or more refrigerant compounds, and / or (ii) one or more blends comprising two or more refrigerant compounds, for formation of a thermal management fluid product.
