A composition comprising
trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) and 1,1-difluoroethylene (R-1132a) is described. The composition can also comprise additional compounds, such as at least one non-flammable compound selected from the group consisting of
carbon dioxide (CO2; R-744),
tetrafluoromethane (R-14), trifluoromethane (R-23) and perfluoroethane (R-116) or at least one additional compound of lower volatility than 1,1-difluoroethylene selected from the group consisting of 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene (R-1123),
difluoromethane (R-32),
propane (R-290), propylene (R-1270), fluoroethane (R-161),
pentafluoroethane (R-125), 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a), 2,3,3,3-tetrafluopropene (R-1234yf),
isobutane (R-600a), n-
butane (R-600), trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluopropene (R-1234ze(E)), 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (R-1243zf), 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene (R-1225ye), 1, 1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (R-227ea), 1,1-difluoroethane (R-152a), cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluopropene (R-1234ze(Z)), 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (R-1233zd(E / Z)) and 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-
butene (R-1336mzz(E / Z)). The compositions have utility as refrigerants in vapour compression
heat transfer systems.
