(B) Conventional technology Conventional refrigerants used in refrigerators include R1
2 (dichlorodifluoromethane) and R500 (R12 and R152a
(Azeotropic mixture with (1,1-difluoroethane)). R
The chemical formula of 12 is CCl 2 F 2 . Also, its boiling point is atmospheric pressure-
At 29.65 ° C, the boiling point of R500 is -33.45 ° C, which is suitable for ordinary refrigeration equipment. Further, even if the suction temperature into the compressor is relatively high, the discharge temperature does not become high enough to cause oil sludge of the compressor. Further, R12 has good compatibility with the oil of the compressor, and plays a role of returning the oil in the refrigerant circuit to the compressor.

However, due to their high ozone depletion potential, each of the above refrigerants destroys the ozone layer when released into the atmosphere and reaches the ozone layer above the earth. It has been known that this destruction of the ozone layer is caused by chlorine groups (C1) in the refrigerant.

Therefore, refrigerants containing no chlorine group, for example, R125 (pentafluoroethane, CHF 2 CF 3 ) and R134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, CH 2 FCF 3 ) are considered as alternative refrigerants for these. ing. The boiling point of this R125 is -48 ° C at atmospheric pressure

R22 (chlorodifluoromethane, CClF 2 H) contains a chlorine group (Cl), but has a hydrogen group (H), so it is actively decomposed before it reaches the ozone layer. There is no risk of destroying. The boiling point of this R22 is -40.75 ° C. at atmospheric pressure.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned U.S. Patent Specification shows several examples in which a plurality of refrigerants that do not destroy the ozone layer exhibit a cooling capacity equivalent to that of R12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) described above. As a refrigerant containing no chlorine group (Cl), R125 and the like described above are shown, and as a refrigerant containing a chlorine group (Cl) and a hydrogen group (H), blends with R22 and R142b are shown.

However, refrigerant blends such as those described in the prior art have the following disadvantages. That is, the refrigerants containing no chlorine group (Cl), R125 and R134a, have extremely poor compatibility with the oil of the compressor of the refrigeration cycle. This is because the compatibility with the oil depends on the presence of a chlorine group (Cl). Although R22 also has a chlorine group (Cl), its compatibility with oil is not good.

The operation of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit in the drawing will be described. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant mixture discharged from the compressor 1 flows into the condenser 2 to dissipate heat, is decompressed by the capillary tube 3 and flows into the evaporator 4, where it evaporates to exhibit a cooling capacity, and Return to 1. Since n-pentane has a higher boiling point than R125, it returns to the compressor 1 with the oil of the compressor 1 dissolved therein. As a result, the oil in the refrigerant circuit is returned to the compressor 1. The cooling temperature obtained in the evaporator 4 differs depending on the refrigerant used. For example, a combination of R125 and n-pentane, or R134a and n-pentane
The pentane combination can be used in ordinary household refrigerators and freezers requiring a freezing temperature of about -20C to -40C.

Here, since n-pentane has a high boiling point and is flammable, if the mixing ratio is too large, the required cooling temperature cannot be obtained in the evaporator 4 and there is a danger of explosion. If it is too long, the function of returning oil cannot be exhibited. According to experiments, in any of the above cases, the amount of n-pentane is preferably 0.1% by weight to 14% by weight, and more preferably 10% by weight.

(G) Effect of the Invention According to the refrigerant composition of the present invention, n-pentane is mixed with a refrigerant containing no chlorine group in a range of 0.1% by weight or more and 14% by weight or less. It is possible to prevent the danger of explosion when leaked, to prevent the refrigeration capacity from being reduced by n-pentane having a high boiling point, and to eliminate the risk of destroying the ozone layer by the refrigerant. The refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit is compatible with the conventional refrigerant oil, which is not compatible with the refrigerant such as R-125 or R-134a which does not contain chlorine, while being compatible with the refrigerant of -12. Since it is returned to the compressor, seizure of the compressor can be prevented, and existing refrigerator units that use conventional mineral oil, alkylbenzene oil, etc. as compressor oil can be used simply by replacing the refrigerant. thing It can be.
