Abstract

A novel refrigerant composition useful as a substitute for HCFC-22, comprising a first constituent of difluoromethane (CH2F2, HFC-32); a second constituent of pentafluoroethane (CHF2CF3, HFC-125); a third constituent of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (CH3CF3, HFC-143a); a fourth constituent selected from the group consisting of cyclopropane (C3H6, RC-270), 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (CF3CHFCF3, HFC-227ea), 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane (CH3CF2CF3, HFC-245cb), isobutane (CH(CH3)2CH3, R-600a), octafluorocyclobutane (C4F8, RC-318), 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane (CHF2CHFCF3, HFC-236ea), butane (C4H10, R-600), bis(difluoromethyl)ether (CHF2OCHF2, HFE-134) and pentafluoroethylmethylether (CF3CF2OCH3, HFE-245).
