Definitions

  • the invention relates to heat transfer compositions, and in particular to heat transfer compositions which may be suitable as replacements for existing refrigerants such as R- 134a, R-152a, R-1234yf, R-22, R-410A, R-407A, R-407B, R-407C, R507 and R-404a.
  • a refrigerant liquid evaporates at low pressure taking heat from the surrounding zone.
  • the resulting vapour is then compressed and passed to a condenser where it condenses and gives off heat to a second zone, the condensate being returned through an expansion valve to the evaporator, so completing the cycle.
  • Mechanical energy required for compressing the vapour and pumping the liquid is provided by, for example, an electric motor or an internal combustion engine.
  • the properties preferred in a refrigerant include low toxicity, non-flammability, non-corrosivity, high stability and freedom from objectionable odour.
  • Other desirable properties are ready compressibility at pressures below 25 bars, low discharge temperature on compression, high refrigeration capacity, high efficiency (high coefficient of performance) and an evaporator pressure in excess of 1 bar at the desired evaporation temperature.
  • Dichlorodifluoromethane (refrigerant R-12) possesses a suitable combination of properties and was for many years the most widely used refrigerant. Due to international concern that fully and partially halogenated chlorofluorocarbons were damaging the earth's protective ozone layer, there was general agreement that their manufacture and use should be severely restricted and eventually phased out completely. The use of dichlorodifluoromethane was phased out in the 1990's.
  • Chlorodifluoromethane (R-22) was introduced as a replacement for R-12 because of its lower ozone depletion potential. Following concerns that R-22 is a potent greenhouse gas, its use is also being phased out. Whilst heat transfer devices of the type to which the present invention relates are essentially closed systems, loss of refrigerant to the atmosphere can occur due to leakage during operation of the equipment or during maintenance procedures. It is important, therefore, to replace fully and partially halogenated chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants by materials having zero ozone depletion potentials.
  • R-410A and R-407 refrigerants have been introduced as a replacement refrigerant for R-22.
  • R-22, R-410A and the R-407 refrigerants all have a high global warming potential (GWP, also known as greenhouse warming potential).
  • R-134a 1 ,1 ,1,2-tetrafluoroethane
  • R-134a 1 ,1 ,1,2-tetrafluoroethane
  • R-134a has a GWP of 1300. It would be desirable to find replacements for R-134a that have a lower GWP.
  • R-152a (1 ,1-difluoroethane) has been identified as an alternative to R-134a. It is somewhat more efficient than R-134a and has a greenhouse warming potential of 120. However the flammability of R-152a is judged too high, for example to permit its safe use in mobile air conditioning systems. In particular it is believed that its lower flammable limit in air is too low, its flame speeds are too high, and its ignition energy is too low.
  • R-1234yf (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) has been identified as a candidate alternative refrigerant to replace R-134a in certain applications, notably in mobile air conditioning or heat pumping applications. Its GWP is about 4. R-1234yf is flammable but its fiammability characteristics are generally regarded as acceptable for some applications including mobile air conditioning or heat pumping. In particular, when compared with R- 152a, its lower flammable limit is higher, its minimum ignition energy is higher and the flame speed in air is significantly lower than that of R-152a.
  • R-1234yf The energy efficiency and refrigeration capacity of R-1234yf have been found to be significantly lower than those of R-134a and in addition the fluid has been found to exhibit increased pressure drop in system pipework and heat exchangers. A consequence of this is that to use R-1234yf and achieve energy efficiency and cooling performance equivalent to R-134a, increased complexity of equipment and increased size of pipework is required, leading to an increase in indirect emissions associated with equipment. Furthermore, the production of R-1234yf is thought to be more complex and less efficient in its use of raw materials (fluorinated and chlorinated) than R-134a. So the adoption of R-1234yf to replace R-134a will consume more raw materials and result in more indirect emissions of greenhouse gases than does R-134a.
  • a principal object of the present invention is therefore to provide a heat transfer composition which is usable in its own right or suitable as a replacement for existing refrigeration usages which should have a reduced GWP, yet have a capacity and energy efficiency (which may be conveniently expressed as the "Coefficient of Performance") ideally within 10% of the values, for example of those attained using existing refrigerants (e.g.

  • This composition has a fluorine ratio of 0.569, consistent with the findings of the previous experiments for determination of a non-flammable composition.

  • the LFL of the tested compositions was found to be considerably higher (i.e. less flammable) than R-1234yf under the same conditions (R1234yf was tested in the same apparatus and found to exhibit lower flammable limit of 6% v/v and upper flammable limit of 15% v/v).
  • thermodynamic model used the Peng Robinson equation of state to represent vapour phase properties and vapour-liquid equilibrium of the mixtures, together with a polynomial correlation of the variation of ideal gas enthalpy of each component of the mixtures with temperature.

McGraw Hill 2000, in particular Chapters 4 and 8 (which is incorporated herein by reference).
  • the basic property data required to use this model were: critical temperature and critical pressure; vapour pressure and the related property of Pitzer acentric factor; ideal gas enthalpy, and measured vapour liquid equilibrium data for the binary systems R-32/R- 152a; R-152a R-1234ze(E) and R-32/R1234ze(E).
  • the basic property data (critical properties, acentric factor, vapour pressure and ideal gas enthalpy) for R-32 and R-152a were taken from the NIST REFPROP Version 8.0 software, which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the critical point and vapour pressure for R-1234ze(E) were measured experimentally.

  • data was taken from Lee et al.J Chem Eng Data 1999 (44) 190-192 (incorporated herein by reference).
  • Vapour liquid equilibrium data for R- 52a with R-1234ze(E) were taken from WO2006/094303 page 69 (incorporated herein by reference) and the interaction constant was fitted to represent the azeotropic composition implied by these data at -25°C. No vapour liquid equilibrium data were available for R-32 with R-1234ze(E) so the interaction constant for this pair was set to zero.
  • compositions exhibiting reduced flammability (or non-flammability) when compared to R-1234yf could be prepared having close or superior cooling capacity, significantly enhanced energy efficiency and reduced pressure drop.
  • the energy efficiency gain implied in use of the compositions of the invention as compared to R-1234yf will result in the air conditioning system exhibiting a lower overall total equivalent warming impact (or equivalently lower LCCP) as well as reduced power consumption, even though the direct GWP of the compositions is somewhat higher than for R-1234yf.
  • compositions exhibited equivalent cooling capacity to R-1234yf the estimated suction line pressure drop was significantly lower than for R- 1234yf and close to the values that would be expected if using R-134a. This is significant for automotive air conditioning systems, where the suction gas line represents a significant point of efficiency loss. It is known that R-1234yf requires a larger diameter suction hose in an automotive system than does R-134a, which is inconvenient for layout of the system.
  • the compositions of the invention offer the opportunity to use a smaller suction line size in such systems or alternatively to realise further gains in system energy efficiency if the same line size is used.
