Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compositions, methods and systems having utility in heat exchange applications, including in air conditioning and refrigeration applications.
  • the invention relates to compositions useful in heat transfer systems of the type in which the refrigerant R-410A would have been used.
  • the compositions of the invention are useful in particular as a replacement of the refrigerant R-41 OA for heating and cooling applications and to retrofitting heat exchange systems, including systems designed for use with R-41 OA.
  • Chlorofluorocarbons were developed in the 1930s as refrigerants for such systems. However, since the 1980s, the effect of CFCs on the stratospheric ozone layer has become the focus of much attention. In 1987, a number of governments signed the Montreal Protocol to protect the global environment, setting forth a timetable for phasing out the CFC products. CFCs were replaced with more environmentally acceptable materials that contain hydrogen, namely the hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).
  • HCFCs hydrochlorofluorocarbons
  • HCFC-22 chlorodifluoromethane
  • HFCs hydrofluorocarbons
  • R-41 OA a 50:50 w/w blend of difluoromethane (HFC-32) and pentafluoroethane (HFC-125)
  • HFC-32 difluoromethane
  • HFC-125 pentafluoroethane
  • R-41 OA is not a drop-in replacement for R-22.
  • the replacement of R-22 with R-41 OA required the redesign of major components within heat exchange systems, including the replacement and redesign of the compressor to accommodate the substantially higher operating pressure and volumetric capacity of R-41 OA, when compared with R-22.
  • R-41 OA has a more acceptable Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) than R-22, the continued use of R-41 OA is problematic since it has a high Global Warming Potential of 2088. There is therefore a need in the art for the replacement of R-41 OA with a more environmentally acceptable alternative.
  • ODP Ozone Depleting Potential
  • a replacement heat transfer fluid it is highly desirable for a replacement heat transfer fluid to possess a difficult to achieve mosaic of properties including excellent heat transfer properties (and in particular heat transfer properties that are well matched to the needs of the particular application), chemical stability, low or no toxicity, non-flammability, lubricant miscibility and/or lubricant compatibility amongst others.
  • any replacement for R- 41 OA would ideally be a good match for the operating conditions of R-41 OA in order to avoid modification or redesign of the system.
  • the development of a heat transfer fluid meeting all of these requirements, many of which are unpredictable, is a significant challenge.
  • thermodynamic performance or energy efficiency may result in an increase in fossil fuel usage as a result of the increased demand for electrical energy.
  • the use of such a refrigerant will therefore have a negative secondary environmental impact.
  • non-flammable refers to compounds or
  • compositions which are determined to be non-flammable in accordance with ASTM standard E-681 -2009 Standard Test Method for Concentration Limits of Flammability of Chemicals (Vapors and Gases) at conditions described in ASHRAE Standard 34-2016 Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants and described in Appendix B1 to ASHRAE Standard 34-2016, which is incorporated herein by reference and referred to herein for convenience as "Non-Flammability Test”.
  • lubricant circulating in a vapour compression heat transfer system is returned to the compressor to perform its intended lubricating function. Otherwise, lubricant might accumulate and become lodged in the coils and piping of the system, including in the heat transfer components. Furthermore, when lubricant accumulates on the inner surfaces of the evaporator, it lowers the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator, and thereby reduces the efficiency of the system.
  • R-41 OA is currently commonly used with polyol ester (POE) lubricating oil in air conditioning applications, as R-41 OA is miscible with POE at temperatures experienced during use of such systems.
  • POE polyol ester
  • R-41 OA is immiscible with POE at temperatures typically experienced during operation of low temperature refrigeration systems, and heat pump systems. Therefore, unless steps are taken to mitigate against this immiscibility, POE and R-41 OA cannot be used in low temperature refrigeration or heat pump systems.
  • compositions which are capable of being used as a replacement for R-41 OA in air conditioning applications, and in particular in residential air conditioning and commercial air conditioning applications, which include, rooftop air conditioning, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioning and chiller air conditioning applications.
  • VRF variable refrigerant flow
  • Applicants have also come to appreciate that the compositions, methods and systems of the invention have advantage in, for example, heat pump and low temperature refrigeration systems, wherein the drawback of immiscibility with POE at temperatures experienced during operation of these systems is eliminated.
