Abstract

The present invention relates to fluoroolefin compositions. The fluoroolefin compositions of the present invention are useful as refrigerants or heat transfer fluids and in processes for producing cooling or heat. Additionally, the fluoroolefin compositions of the present invention may be used to replace currently used refrigerant or heat transfer fluid compositions that have higher global warming potential.

Description

COMPOSITIONS THAT INCLUDE FLUOROOLEPHINS AND USES THEREOF FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to compositions for use in refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump systems wherein the composition comprises at least one fluoroolefin. The compositions of the present invention are useful in processes for producing refrigeration or heat, such as heat transfer fluids and many other uses.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The refrigeration industry has worked over the past decades to find replacement refrigerants for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) that deplete ozone that are out of phase as a result of the Montreal Protocol. The solution for the majority of refrigerant producers has been the commercialization of hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants (HFCs). The new HFC refrigerants, HFC-134a is the most used at this time, has zero ozone removal potential and is thus not affected by the current regulatory phase as a result of the Montreal Protocol. Additional environmental regulations may eventually cause the gradual elimination of certain Ref .: 191925 HFC refrigerants. Currently, the automotive industry is facing regulations regarding potential global warming for refrigerants used in automotive air conditioning. Therefore, there is a great current need to identify new refrigerants with reduced global warming potential for the automotive air conditioning market. The regulations should be applied more widely in the future, so an even greater need will be felt for refrigerants that can be used in all areas of the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. Replacement refrigerants currently proposed for HFC-134a include HFC-152a, pure hydrocarbons such as butane or propane, or "natural" refrigerants such as C02. Many of these suggested replacements are toxic, flammable, and / or have low energy efficiency. Therefore, new alternative refrigerants are being sought. The object of the present invention is to provide novel heat transfer fluid compositions and refrigerant compositions that provide unique characteristics to meet the demands of low or zero ozone removal potential and lower global warming potential compared to current refrigerants.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a refrigerant or heat transfer fluid composition comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of: (i) fluoroolefins of the formula E or Z-R1CH = CHR2, in where R1 and R2 are independently perfluoroalkyls Ci. to C ^, and where the total number of carbons in the compound is at least 5;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to compositions comprising at least one fiber or one and one. By f 1 uo r oo 1 e f i na is meant any compound containing carbon, fluorine and optionally, hydrogen or oxygen which also contains at least one double bond. These can be straight, branched or cyclic. These compositions have a variety of utilities in working fluids, including use as blowing agents, blowing agents, extenders, heat transfer media (such as heat transfer fluids and refrigerants for use in systems). refrigeration, refrigerators, air conditioning systems, heat pumps, chillers, and the like), to name a few. A heat transfer fluid (also referred to herein as a heat transfer composition or fluid composition of heat transfer) is a working fluid used to carry heat from a heat source to a heat sink. A refrigerant is a compound or mixture of compounds that functions as a heat transfer fluid in a cycle where the fluid undergoes a phase change from a liquid to a gas and vice versa. The present invention provides fluoroolefins having the formula E - or Z-R1CH = CHR2 (Formula I), wherein R1 and R2 are, independently, C1 to C6 perfluoroalkyl groups. Examples of groups R1 and R2 include, but are not limited to, CF3, C2F5, CF2CF2CF3, CF (CF3) 2, C F2 C F2 C F2C F3, CF (CF3) CF2CF3, CF2CF (CF3) 2, C (CF3) ) 3, C F2 C F2 C F2 C F2C F3, C F2C F2C F (C F3) 2, C (CF3) 2C2F5, CF2CF2CF2CF2CF2CF3, CF (CF3) CF2CF2C2F5, and C (C F3) 2C F2C2 F5. In one embodiment, the fluoroolefins of Formula I have at least about 3 carbon atoms in the molecule. In another embodiment, the fluoroolefins of Formula I have at least about 4 carbon atoms in the molecule. In yet another embodiment, the fluoroolefins of Formula I have at least about 5 carbon atoms in the molecule. Exemplary, the non-limiting compounds of Formula I are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 The compounds of Formula I can be prepared by contacting a perfluoroalkyl iodide of formula R1! with a perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin of the formula R2CH = CH2 to form a trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane of the formula R1CH2CHIR2. This trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane can then be dehydroiodine to form R1CH = CHR2. Alternatively, the olefin R1CH = CHR2 can be prepared by dehydroiodination of a trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane of the formula R1CHICH2R2 formed in turn by reacting a perfluoroalkyl iodide of the formula R2I with a perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin of the formula R1CH = CH2. The contact of a perfluoroalkyl iodide with a perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin can take place in batch mode by combining the reactants in a suitable reaction vessel capable of operating under the autogenous pressure of the reactants and products at reaction temperature.
Suitable reaction vessels include fabricated from stainless steels, in particular of the austenitic type, and well-known nickel alloys such as Nickel Onel® copper alloys, Hastelloy® nickel-based alloys and Inconel® nickel chromium alloys.
Alternatively, the reaction can be carried out in a semi-batch mode in which the perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin reagent is added to the perfluoroalkyl iodide reagent by means of a suitable addition apparatus such as a pump at the reaction temperature. The ratio of perfluoroalkyl iodide to perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin should be between about 1: 1 to about 4: 1, preferably from about 1.5: 1 to 2.5: 1. Relationships less than 1.5: 1 tend to result in large amounts of the 2: 1 adduct as reported by Jeanneaux, et. to the. in Journal of Fluorine Chemistry, Vol. 4, pages 261-270 (1974). Preferred temperatures for contacting perfluoroalkyl iodide with perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin are preferably within the range of from about 150 ° C to 300 ° C, preferably from about 170 ° C to about 250 ° C, and more preferably from about 180 ° C to around 230 ° C. Appropriate contact times for the iodide reaction of perfluoroalkyl with the per-fluoroalkyltrihydroolefin are from about 0.5 hours to 18 hours, preferably from about 4 to about 12 hours. The hydrochloroperfluoroalkane prepared by the reaction of the perfluoroalkyl iodide with the perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin can be used directly in the dehydrodynamination step or can preferably be recovered and purified by distillation before the dehydrodynamination step. The dehydroiodination step is carried out by contacting the trihydroiodoperf luoroalkane with a basic substance. Suitable basic substances include alkali metal hydroxides (eg, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide), alkali metal oxide (eg, sodium oxide), alkaline earth metal hydroxides (eg, calcium hydroxide), oxides of alkaline earth metal (eg, calcium oxide), alkali metal alkoxides (eg, sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide), aqueous ammonia, sodium amide, or mixtures of basic substances such as caustic soda. The preferred basic substances are sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. The contact of the trihydroiodoperf luoroalkane with a basic substance can take place in the liquid phase preferably in the presence of a solvent capable of dissolving at least a portion of both reagents. Suitable solvents for the dehydrodynamic step include one or more polar organic solvents such as alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, and tertiary butanol), nitriles (e.g., acetonitrile, propionitrile, but ironit rile, benzonitrile, or adiponi t ri lo), dimethyl sulfoxide, N, N-dimet i 1 formamide,, N-dimet i lacetamide, or sulfolane. The choice of solvent may depend on the boiling point of the product and the ease of separation of solvent residues from the product during purification. Typically, ethanol or isopropanol are good solvents for the reaction. Typically, the dehydrodynamination reaction can be carried out by adding one of the reagents (either the basic substance or the trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane) to the other reagent in a suitable reaction vessel. The reaction can be made of glass, ceramic, or metal and is preferably stirred with a drive or stirring mechanism.
Suitable temperatures for the dehydrodynamic reaction are from about 10 ° C to about 100 ° C, preferably from about 20 ° C to about 70 ° C. The reaction of Dehydrodynamination can be carried out at ambient pressure or under reduced or elevated pressure. To note are the dehydrodynamic reactions in which the compound of Formula I is distilled from the reaction vessel as soon as it is formed. Alternatively, the dehydrodynamination reaction can be conducted by contacting an aqueous solution of the basic substance with a solution of the trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane in one or more organic solvents of lower polarity such as an alkane (eg, hexane, heptane, or octane), aromatic hydrocarbon (eg, toluene), halogenated hydrocarbon (eg, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or perchloroethane), or ether (eg, diethyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, tet rahydrofuran) , 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethoxyethane, diglyme, or tetraglim) in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. Suitable phase transfer catalysts include quaternary ammonium halides (e.g., tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium hydrosulfate, triethylbenzylammonium chloride, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, and tricaprylmethylammonium chloride), quaternary phosphonium halides (e.g., triphenylmethylphosphonium bromide and chloride of tetraphenylphosphonium), or cyclic polyether compounds known in the art as crown ethers (eg, 18-crown-6 and 15-crown-5). Alternatively, the dehydrodynamination reaction can be conducted in the absence of solvent by adding the trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane to a solid or liquid basic substance. Suitable reaction times for the dehydrodynamic reactions are from about 15 minutes to about six hours or more depending on the solubility of the reagents. Typically the dehydrodynamic reaction is rapid and requires about 30 minutes to about three hours for completion. The compound of the formula I can be recovered from the dehydrodynamic reaction mixture by phase separation after the addition of water, by distillation, or by a combination thereof. In another embodiment of the present invention, the furoolefins comprise f cycloolefins (cyclo- [CX = CY (CZW) n-] (Formula II), wherein X, Y, Z, and W are independently selected from H and F, and n is an integer from 2 to 5). The representative cyclic f 1 uo r 1 or f i ns of Formula II are listed in Table 2.

The compositions of the present invention may comprise a single compound of Formula I, Formula II, or Table 3 or may comprise a combination of the compounds. Additionally, many of the compounds of the Formula I, Formula II, and Table 3 may exist as different isomers or configurational stereoisomers. The present invention is intended to include all simple configurational isomers, simple stereoisomers or any combination thereof. For example, 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFC-1234ze) is a means for representing the E-isomer, Z-isomer, or any combination or mixture of both isomers in any ratio. Another example is F12E, whereby the E isomer, Z isomer, or any combination or mixture of both isomers in any ratio is represented.
The compositions of the present invention have zero or low ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential (GWP). The fluoroolefins of the present invention or mixtures of fluoroolefins of this invention with other refrigerants will have global warming potentials that are less than many hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants currently in use. One aspect of the present invention is to provide a refrigerant with a global warming potential of less than 1000, less than 500, less than 150, less than 100, or less than 50. Another aspect of the present invention is to reduce the pure GWP of refrigerant mixtures by adding fluoroolefins to the mixtures. The compositions of the present invention which are combinations or mixtures can be prepared by any convenient method to combine the desired amounts of the individual components. A preferred method is to weigh the desired component amounts and subsequently combine the components in an appropriate container. Stirring can be used, if desired. Alternative means for making compositions of the present invention comprise (i) recovering a volume of one or more components of a refrigerant composition from at least one refrigerant container, (ii) removing impurities sufficiently to allow the reuse of one or more of the recovered components , (iii) and optionally, combining all or part of the recovered volume of components with at least one additional refrigerant composition or component. A refrigerating container may be any container in which a refrigerant mixture composition that has been used in a refrigeration appliance, air conditioner or heat pump apparatus is stored. The cooling vessel may be the refrigeration apparatus, air conditioner or heat pump apparatus in which the refrigerant mixture was used. Additionally, the refrigerant container may be a storage container for collecting components of regenerated refrigerant mixture, including but not limited to pressurized gas cylinders. Residual refrigerant means any quantity of refrigerant mixture or refrigerant mixture component that can be transferred out of the refrigerant vessel by any known method for transferring refrigerant mixtures or refrigerant mixture components. The impurities can be any component that is in the refrigerant mixture or refrigerant mixture component due to its use in a refrigeration appliance, air conditioner or heat pump apparatus. Such impurities include but are not limited to refrigeration lubricants, those previously described herein, particles such as metal or elastomer that may have left the refrigeration apparatus, air conditioner or heat pump apparatus, and any other contaminants that can adversely affect the performance of the refrigerant mixture composition. Such impurities can be sufficiently removed to allow the reuse of the refrigerant mixture or refrigerant mixture component without adversely affecting the performance or equipment within which the refrigerant mixture or refrigerant mixture component will be used. It may be necessary to provide an additional refrigerant mixture or refrigerant mixture component for the residual refrigerant mixture or refrigerant mixture component in order to produce a composition that meets the specifications required by a given product. For example, if a refrigerant mixture has 3 components in a particular weight percentage range, it may be necessary to add one or more of the components in a certain amount in order to restore the composition within the limits of the specification. The compositions of the present invention which are useful as refrigerants or heat transfer fluids comprise at least one fluoroolefin selected from the group consisting of: (i) fluoroolefins of the formula E- or Z-R1CH = CHR2, wherein R1 and R2 are, independently, Ci perfluoroalkyl groups up to β, and wherein the total number of carbons in the compound is at least 5;

Particularly useful in the arrangements comprising at least one flammable refrigerant and at least one fluoroolefin are those fluoroolefins which by themselves are not flammable. The flammability of a fluoroolefin seems to be related to the numbers of fluorine atoms and the numbers of hydrogen atoms in the molecule. The equation below provides a flammability factor that can be calculated as a predicted indication of flammability: flammability factor = F / (F + H) where: F = the number of fluorine atoms; and H = the number of hydrogen atoms in a molecule. Since certain compounds have been experimentally determined to be flammable, the cut-off line for nonflammable fluoroolefin flammability factors has been determined. Fluoroolefins can be determined to be flammable or non-flammable when tested under specific conditions by ASHR7AE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.) standard 34-2001, under ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) E681 -01, with a electronic ignition source. Such flammability tests are conducted with the compound of interest at 101 kPa (14.7 psia (1.033 kg / cm2)) and a specific temperature (frequently at 100 ° C (212 ° F)) in various concentrations in air in order to determine the lower flammability limit (LFL) and / or upper flammability limit (UFL) of the test compound in air. The flammability factors for various fluoroolefins are listed in Table 4 together with the experimental determination of flammable or non-flammable. Therefore, they can be predicted for the other fluoroolefins of the present disclosure, which will be most useful in combination with the flammable refrigerants of the present disclosure as are, in fact, non-flammable fluoroolefins.
TABLE 4 The fluoroolefins as listed in Table 4 can be determined to be flammable or non-flammable based on the value of the flammability factor. If the flammability factor is found to be equal to or greater than 0.70, then the fluoroolefin can be expected to be non-flammable. If the flammability factor is less than 0.70, then the fluoroolefin can be expected to be flammable.

Although the flammability factor provides a basis for predicting the flammability of certain fluoroolefin compounds, there may be certain variables, such as the position of the hydrogen atoms in the molecule that is counted for certain isomers with a given molecular formula being flammable while other isomers They are not flammable. Therefore, the flammability factor can only be used as a tool to predict flammability characteristics.

The solubility of these UV fluorescent dyes in refrigerant and heat transfer compositions can be poor. Therefore, the methods for introducing these dyes into refrigeration, air conditioning, or heat pump apparatus have been cumbersome, expensive and time-consuming. The patent of E.U.A. no. RE 36,951, incorporated herein by reference, discloses a method, which utilizes a coloring powder, solid palletizing or thick mixture of the colorant that can be inserted into a refrigeration component or air conditioner. As the coolant and lubricant are distributed through the apparatus, the colorant dissolves or disperses and is carried through the apparatus. Numerous other methods for introducing dye into a refrigeration or air-conditioning apparatus are described in the literature. Ideally, the UV fluorescent dye could be dissolved in the refrigerant therefore does not require any specialized method for introduction into the refrigeration, air conditioning, or heat pump apparatus. The present invention relates to compositions that include the UV fluorescent dye, which can be introduced into the system dissolved in the refrigerant in combination with a solubilizing agent. The inventive compositions will allow the storage and transportation of the refrigerant containing dye and heat transfer fluid even at low temperatures while keeping the dye in the solution.

Such odor masking agents can be used in concentrations from about 0.001% to as much as about 15% by weight based on the combined weight of odor masking agent and solubilizing agent. The present invention further relates to a method for using the refrigerant or heat transfer fluid compositions comprising ultraviolet fluorescent dye to detect leaks in refrigeration appliances, air conditioners, or heat pump apparatus. The presence of the colorant in the compositions allows the detection of refrigerant leaks in the refrigeration, air conditioning, or heat pump apparatus. Leak detection helps direct, resolve and / or prevent inefficient operation of equipment or systems or equipment failure. Leak detection also helps contain chemicals used in the operation of the device. The method comprises providing the composition comprising refrigerant, ultraviolet fluorescent dye or comprising heat transfer fluid and UV fluorescent dye, as described herein, and optionally, a solubilizing agent as described herein, for refrigeration apparatus. , air conditioning, or heat pump and that employs a suitable means to detect the refrigerant containing UV fluorescent dye. Suitable means for detecting the dye include, but are not limited to, ultraviolet lamps, often referred to as a "black light" or "blue light". Such ultraviolet lamps are commercially available from numerous sources specifically designated to detect UV fluorescent dye. Once the ultraviolet fluorescent dye containing the composition has been introduced for refrigeration, air conditioning, or heat pump apparatus and allowed to distribute through the system, a vanishing point or the vicinity of the vanishing point can be located by illuminating the ultraviolet lamp in the apparatus and observing the fluorescence of the dye in the vicinity of any vanishing point. Mechanical refrigeration is primarily an application of thermodynamics in which a cooling medium, such as a refrigerant, goes through a cycle so that it can be recovered for reuse. Commonly used cycles include vapor compression, absorption, steam current or vapor expeller, and air. Steam compression refrigeration systems include an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion device. A re-used refrigerant of multi-stage steam compression cycle produces a cooling effect in one stage and an effect of heating in a different stage. The cycle can be described simply as follows. The liquid refrigerant enters an evaporator through an expansion device, and the liquid refrigerant boils in the evaporator at a low temperature to form a gas and produce cooling. The low pressure gas enters a compressor where the gas is compressed to raise its pressure and temperature. The gaseous (compressed) refrigerant of higher pressure then enters the condenser in which the refrigerant condenses and discharges its heat into the environment. The refrigerant returns to the expansion device through which the liquid expands from the higher pressure level in the condenser to the low pressure level in the evaporator, thus repeating the cycle. There are several types of compressors that can be used in refrigeration applications. Compressors can generally be classified as a reciprocal, rotary, jet, centrifugal, spiral, screw or axial flow, depending on the mechanical means to compress the fluid, or as a positive displacement (for example, reciprocity, spiral or screw). or dynamic (for example, centrifugal or jet), depending on how the mechanical elements act on the fluid that is compressed. Compositions of the present invention comprising fluoroolefins may be useful in any of the types of compressor mentioned above. The choice of The refrigerant for any given compressor will depend on many factors including, for example, the requirements of the boiling point and vapor pressure. Any positive displacement or dynamic compressor can be used in the present inventive process. A centrifugal type compressor is a preferred type of equipment for certain refrigerant compositions comprising at least one fluoroolefin. A centrifugal compressor uses rotating elements to accelerate the refrigerant radially, and typically includes an impeller and diffuser housed in a cabinet. Centrifugal compressors usually take fluids in a driving eye, or central inlet of a circulating impeller, and accelerate radially outward. Some high static pressure occurs in the impeller, but most of the elevated pressure occurs in the diffusion section of the casing, where the velocity is converted to static pressure. Each impeller-diffuser assembly is a stage of the compressor. Centrifugal compressors are constructed with from 1 to 12 or more stages, depending on the desired final pressure and the volume of refrigerant to be handled. The pressure ratio, or compression ratio, of a compressor is the ratio of absolute discharge pressure to absolute input pressure. The release of pressure by a centrifugal compressor is practically constant over a range relatively broad capacity. Positive displacement compressors draw steam into a chamber, and the chamber decreases in volume to compress the vapor. After being compressed, the vapor is forced from the chamber by further decreasing the volume of the chamber to zero or near zero. A positive displacement compressor can create a pressure, which is limited only by the volumetric efficiency and the strength of the parts to resist pressure. Unlike a positive displacement compressor, a centrifugal compressor depends entirely on the centrifugal force of the high-speed impeller to compress the steam that passes through the impeller. There is no positive displacement, but rather what is called dynamic compression. The pressure of a centrifugal compressor can develop depending on the top speed of the impeller. The top speed is the speed of the impeller measured at its tip and is related to the diameter of the impeller and its revolutions per minute. The capacity of the centrifugal compressor is determined by the size of the passages through the impeller. This makes the size of the compressor more dependent on the pressure required than the capacity. Due to its high speed operation, a centrifugal compressor is basically a low pressure machine, high volume. A centrifugal compressor works best with a low pressure refrigerant, such as trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) or 1,2,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC-113). Some of the low pressure refrigerant fluids of the present invention may be suitable as drip replacements for CFC-113 in existing centrifugal equipment. Large centrifugal compressors typically operate at 3000 to 7000 revolutions per minute (rpm). Small centrifugal turbine compressors (mini-centrifugal compressors) are designed for high speeds, from around 40,000 to around 70,000 (rpm), and have small impeller sizes, typically less than 0.15 meters (about 6 inches). A multi-stage impeller can be used in a centrifugal compressor to improve the efficiency of the compressor so it requires less energy in use. For a two-stage system, in operation, the discharge of the first stage of the impeller leads to the suction intake of a second impeller. Both impellers can work by using a single axis (or stationary axis). Each stage can accumulate a compression ratio of around 4 to 1; that is, the absolute discharge pressure can be four times the absolute suction pressure. Various examples of two-stage centrifugal compressor systems, particularly for automotive applications, are described in US 5,065,990 and US 5,363,674, both incorporated herein by reference. The present disclosure also relates to a method for producing heating or cooling in a refrigeration, air conditioning, or heat pump apparatus, the method comprising introducing a refrigerant or heat transfer fluid composition into the apparatus having (a) ) a centrifugal compressor;

The method for producing heating or cooling can be used in stationary air conditioning, heat pumps or mobile air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Stationary air conditioning and heat pump applications include chillers, packaged, conduit, non-conduit, window and commercial terminals, including top-packing. The applications of Refrigeration includes domestic or household refrigerators and freezers, ice machines, self-contained chillers and freezers, portable chillers and freezers, and transport refrigeration systems. The compositions of the present invention can additionally be used in air conditioning, heating and cooling systems employing heat exchanger tubes and fins, microchannel heat exchangers and single vertical or horizontal passage tubes or plate type heat exchangers. . Conventional microchannel heat exchangers may not be ideal for the low pressure refrigerant compositions of the present invention. The low pressure and density to operate results in high flow rates and high friction losses in all components. In these cases, the designated evaporator can be modified. Instead of several microchannel plates connected in series (with respect to the refrigerant path) a single plate / single stage heat exchanger configuration can be used. Therefore, a preferred heat exchanger for the heat transfer fluid or coolant compositions of the present invention is a single plate / single stage heat exchanger. The present invention also relates to a process for producing cooling comprising evaporating the compositions of fluoroolefin of the present invention in the vicinity of a body to be cooled, and then the condensation of the compositions. The present invention further relates to a process for producing heat which comprises condensing the fluoroolefin compositions of the present invention in the vicinity of a body to be heated, and then evaporating the compositions. The present invention further relates to a process for producing cooling comprising compressing a composition comprising at least one fluoroolefin in a centrifugal compressor, condensing the composition, and then evaporating the composition in the vicinity of a body to be cooled. Additionally, the centrifugal compressor of the inventive method may be a multi-stage centrifugal compressor and preferably a 2-stage centrifugal compressor. The present invention further relates to a process for producing cooling in a refrigeration apparatus, air conditioner, or heat pump apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises at least one single plate / single stage heat exchanger, the process it comprises condensing a composition of the present invention, and then evaporating the composition in the vicinity of a body to be cooled. The compositions of the present invention are particularly useful in centrifugal turbine compressors small (centrifugal mini-compressor), which can be used in auto and window air conditioning, heat pumps, or transport refrigeration, as well as other applications. These high-efficiency centrifugal mini-compressors can be driven by an electric motor and can therefore be operated independently of the motor speed. A constant compressor speed allows the system to provide a relatively constant cooling capacity at all engine speeds. This provides an opportunity for efficiency improvements especially at higher engine speeds as compared to a conventional R-134a automobile air conditioning system. When the operating cycle of conventional systems at high handling speeds is taken into account, the advantage of these low pressure systems becomes even greater. Alternatively, instead of using electrical power, the centrifugal mini-compressor may be powered by an engine output gas turbine or an apparatus handling assembly in connection with a belt handling in relation. The electric power available in the current car design is around 14 volts, but the new centrifugal mini-compressor requires electric power of around 50 volts. Therefore, the use of an alternative energy source would be advantageous.

Additionally, the nonflammable fluoroolefins of the present invention may be added to a flammable heat transfer fluid or refrigerant, either already in the apparatus or before being added to the apparatus. The non-flammable fluoroolefins of the present invention reduce the likelihood of a fire in the event of a leak and / or reduce the degree of fire risk by reducing the temperature or size of any flame produced. The present invention further relates to a method for reducing the risk of fire in or in the vicinity of a refrigeration appliance, air conditioner, or heat pump apparatus, the method comprising combining at least one non-flammable fluoroolefin with a flammable refrigerant and introduce the combination in a refrigeration appliance, air conditioner, or heat pump apparatus. The present invention further relates to a method for reducing fire risk in or in the vicinity of a refrigeration appliance, air conditioner, or heat pump apparatus, the method comprising combining at least one nonflammable fluoroolefin with a lubricant and introducing the combination into the refrigeration appliance, air conditioner, or heat pump apparatus comprising flammable refrigerant. The present invention also relates to a method for reducing fire risk in or in the vicinity of a refrigeration appliance, air conditioner, or heat pump apparatus, the method comprising introducing at least one fluoroolefin into the apparatus. The present invention further relates to a method for using a flammable refrigerant in a refrigeration appliance, air conditioner, or heat pump apparatus, the method comprising combining the flammable refrigerant with at least one fluoroolefin. The present invention further relates to a method for reducing the flammability of a flammable heat transfer fluid or coolant, the method comprising combining the flammable refrigerant with at least one fluoroolefin. The present invention further relates to a process for transferring heat from a heat source to a heat sink wherein the compositions of the present invention serve as heat transfer fluids. The process for transferring heat comprises transporting the compositions of the present invention from a heat source to a heat sink. Heat transfer fluids are used to transfer, move or remove heat from a space, location, object or body to a different space, location, object or body by radiation, driving, or convection. A heat transfer fluid can function as a secondary refrigerant by providing means for the transfer of cooling (or heating) from a remote cooling (or heating) system. In some systems, the heat transfer fluid can remain in a constant state throughout the transfer process (that is, it does not evaporate or condensate). Alternatively, evaporative cooling processes can use heat transfer fluids. A heat source can be defined as any space, location, object or body from which it is desirable to transfer, move or remove heat. Examples of heat sources can be spaces (open or closed) that require cooling or cooling, such as cooler or freezer cases in supermarkets, building spaces that require air conditioning, or the passenger compartment of a car that requires air conditioning. . A heat sink can be defined as any space, location, object or body capable of absorbing heat. A vapor compression refrigeration system is an example of such a heat sink.

Such flammability tests were carried out in compositions of the present disclosure at 101 kPa (14.7 psia [1.033 kg / cm2]), 50 percent of relative humidity, and the indicated temperature, in various concentrations in air in order to determine if it is flammable and if it is, to find the lower flammability limit (LFL for its acronym in English). The results are given in Table 12.
TABLE 12 The results indicate that HFC-1234yf and E-HFC-1234ze are flammable, while HFC-1225ye, HFC-1429myz / mzy, and F12E are non-flammable. For mixtures of HFC-1225ye and HFC-32 (which are known to be flammable in the pure state) it has been determined that 37 weight percent of HFC-32 is the maximum amount that can be presented to maintain the non-flammable characteristic. Those compositions comprising fluoroolefins that are not Flammables are more acceptable candidates as refrigerant or heat transfer fluid compositions.
EXAMPLE 7 Peak Speed for Developed Pressure Top speed can be estimated by making some fundamental relationships for refrigeration equipment that use centrifugal compressors. The impeller torque ideally imparted to a gas is defined as T = m * (v2 * r2-Vi * ri) Equation 1 where T = torque, Newton meters m = mass of flow ratio, kg / sec v2 = tangential velocity of coolant leaving the impeller (top speed), meters / sec r2 = impeller output radius, meters Vi = tangential coolant speed entering the impeller, meters / sec ri = impeller input radius, meters Assuming the coolant enters in the impeller in an essentially axial direction, the tangential component of the velocity vi = 0, therefore T = m * v2 * r2 Equation 2 The energy required in the shaft is the product of the torque and the rotational speed P =? *? Equation 3 where P = energy, W? = angular velocity, radians / s therefore, P = T * w = m * v2 * r2 *? Equation 4 At low coolant flow ratios, the tip speed of the impeller and the tangential velocity of the coolant are almost identical; therefore r2 * co = V2 Equation 5 and P = m * V2 * v2 Equation 6 Another expression for the ideal power is the product of the flow relation mass and the isentropic compression work, P = m * Hi * ( 1000J / kJ) Equation 7 where Hi = Difference in enthalpy of the refrigerant of a saturated vapor in the evaporated conditions for saturated condensing conditions, kJ / kg. Combining the two expressions of Equation 6 and 7 produces, v2 * v2 = 1000 * ¾ Equation 8 Although Equation 8 is based on some fundamental assumptions, it provides a good estimate of the tip speed of the impeller and provides an important means to compare tip speeds of refrigerants.
Table 13 below shows theoretical peak rates that are calculated for 1,2,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC-113) and compositions of the present invention.

TABLE 13 The example shows that the compounds of the present invention have peak speeds within about 15 percent of CFC-113 and would be effective replacements for CFC-113 with minimal compressor design changes. The most preferred compositions have top speeds within about 10 times percent of CFC-113.
