Abstract

PURPOSE:To selectively remove 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (R133a) having the doubt of carcinogenesis formed by the decomposition of 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2- trifluoroethane (R123) due to the effect of refrigerating machine oil or a metal. CONSTITUTION:R123 containing R133a is brought into contact with A-type, X-type or Y-type zeolite or activated carbon for 5-120sec at room temp. to 60 deg.C under atmospheric pressure to 2kg/cm<2>G to selectively remove R133a in R123.

[0007] Since the refrigerant system of a centrifugal refrigerator is in a vacuum state during operation, it is inevitable that surrounding air will leak into the system if there is a defective part. If air leaks, it will accumulate in the condenser etc., inhibiting heat exchange, reducing cycle efficiency and causing failure.
