Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a thermally stable and incombustible working fluid, composed of pentafluorodimethyl ether, having a low solubility in polymer compounds without causing problems in destruction of ozonosphere and used for refrigerators, heat pumps, etc. CONSTITUTION:The objective working fluid obtained by adding, as necessary, about 0.01-5% compounds, such as epoxides, (thio)phosphites, phosphine sulfides, boron compounds, phenols, nitroalkanes and acrylic acid esters, as a stabilizer to pentafluorodimethyl ether. Furthermore, compounds, such as fluorocarbons, pentafluorodimethyl ether or perfluoroethylamine, having the boiling point within + or -50 deg.C of that of the pentafluorodimethyl ether in an amount within the range of up to 50% based on the weight of the pentafluorodimethyl ether can be mixed therewith.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as working fluids or refrigerants, chlorofluorohydrocarbons, fluorohydrocarbons, azeotropic compositions thereof, and compositions in the vicinity thereof have been known. These are called fluorocarbons or fluorocarbon-based refrigerants, and trichlorofluoromethane (fluorocarbon-1) is currently used as a working fluid for refrigerators.
1), dichlorodifluoromethane (Freon-12), etc. are mainly used. However, in recent years, it has been pointed out that certain types of fluorocarbons can destroy the ozone layer in the stratosphere when released into the atmosphere, resulting in serious adverse effects on the earth's ecosystem, including humans. Therefore, the use and production of fluorocarbons, which have a high possibility of depleting the ozone layer, has been restricted by international agreements. Types of fluorocarbons that are subject to restrictions include Freon-11 and Freon-12, which are commonly used as described above. frozen·
Restrictions on the use and production of fluorocarbons, the demand for which is increasing every year with the spread of air conditioning equipment, have a major impact on the current social structure as a whole, including the living environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new refrigerants that have no or low risk of causing ozone depletion problems.
