- a refrigerant is defined as a heat transfer fluid that undergoes a phase change from liquid to gas and back again during a cycle used to transfer of heat.
- a heat transfer system is the system (or apparatus) used to produce a heating or cooling effect in a particular space.
- a heat transfer system may be a mobile system or a stationary system.
- Examples of heat transfer systems are any type of refrigeration systems and air conditioning systems including, but not limited to, stationary heat transfer systems, air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators, heat pumps, flooded evaporator heat pumps, direct expansion chiller heat pumps, chillers, flooded evaporator chillers, direct expansion chillers, walk-in coolers, mobile refrigerators, mobile heat transfer systems, mobile heat pumps (including heat pumps for cabin comfort cooling and heating in automobiles), mobile air conditioning units (for cooling of passenger compartments in automobiles), dehumidifiers, and combinations thereof.
- stationary heat transfer systems air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators, heat pumps, flooded evaporator heat pumps, direct expansion chiller heat pumps, chillers, flooded evaporator chillers, direct expansion chillers, walk-in coolers, mobile refrigerators, mobile heat transfer systems, mobile heat pumps (including heat pumps for cabin comfort cooling and heating in automobiles), mobile air conditioning units (for cooling of passenger compartments in automobiles), dehumidifiers, and combinations thereof.
- volumetric capacity is the amount of heat absorbed or rejected divided by the theoretical compressor displacement. Heat removed or absorbed is the enthalpy difference across a heat exchanger multiplied by the refrigerant mass flowrate. Theoretical compressor displacement is the refrigerant mass flowrate divided by the density of the gas entering the compressor (i.e., compressor suction density). More simply, volumetric capacity is the suction density multiplied by the heat exchanger enthalpy difference. Higher volumetric capacity allows the use of a smaller compressor for the same heat load.
- cooling capacity refers to the volumetric capacity in cooling mode and heating capacity refers to the volumetric capacity in heating mode.
- Coefficient of performance is the amount of heat absorbed or rejected divided by the required energy input to operate the cycle (approximated by the compressor power).
- COP is specific to the mode of operation of a heat pump, thus COP for heating or COP for cooling.
- COP is directly related to the energy efficiency ratio (EER).
- Subcooling refers to the reduction of the temperature of a liquid below that liquid’s saturation point for a given pressure.
- the liquid saturation point is the temperature at which the vapor is completely condensed to a liquid. By cooling a liquid below the saturation temperature (or bubble point temperature), the net refrigeration effect can be increased. Subcooling thereby improves refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency of a system.
- the subcool amount is the amount of cooling below the saturation temperature (in degrees).
- Superheating refers to the increase of the temperature of a vapor above that vapor’s saturation point for a given pressure.
- the vapor saturation point is the temperature at which the liquid is completely evaporated to a vapor.
- Superheating continues to heat the vapor to a higher temperature vapor at the given pressure.
- the net refrigeration effect can be increased.
- Superheating thereby improves refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency of a system when it occurs in the evaporator.
- Suction line superheat does not add to the net refrigeration effect and can reduce efficiency and capacity.
- the superheat amount is the amount of heating above the saturation temperature (in degrees).
- Temperature glide (sometimes referred to simply as "glide") is the absolute value of the difference between the starting and ending temperatures of a phasechange process by a refrigerant within a condenser of a refrigerant system, exclusive of any subcooling or superheating.
- the glide is the difference in temperature between the dew point and the evaporator inlet.
- Glide may be used to describe condensation or evaporation of a near azeotrope or non-azeotropic composition. When referring to the temperature glide of an air conditioning or heat pump system, it is common to provide the average temperature glide being the average of the temperature glide in the evaporator and the temperature glide in the condenser.
- Glide is applicable to blend refrigerants, i.e., refrigerants that are composed of at least 2 components.
- the net refrigeration effect is the quantity of heat that each kilogram of refrigerant absorbs in the evaporator to produce useful cooling.
- the mass flow rate is the quantity of refrigerant in kilograms circulating through the refrigeration, heat pump or air conditioning system over a given period of time.
- lubricant means any material added to a composition or a compressor (and in contact with any heat transfer composition in use within any heat transfer system) that provides hydrodynamic lubrication to the compressor to aid in preventing parts from seizing.
- Global warming potential is an index for estimating relative global warming contribution due to atmospheric emission of a kilogram of a particular greenhouse gas compared to emission of a kilogram of carbon dioxide.
- GWP can be calculated for different time horizons showing the effect of atmospheric lifetime for a given gas.
- the GWP for the 100-year time horizon is commonly the value referenced.
- a weighted average can be calculated based on the individual GWPs for each component.
- the GWP values are those reported in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), for those compounds listed.

- HFCs Hydrofluorocarbons
- HFO hydrofluoro-olefins
- An azeotropic composition may refer to a constant-boiling mixture of two or more substances that behave as a single substance.
- One way to characterize an azeotropic composition is that the vapor produced by partial evaporation or distillation of the liquid has the same composition as the liquid from which it is evaporated or distilled. For example, the mixture distills/refluxes without compositional change.
- Constant-boiling compositions are characterized as azeotropic because they exhibit either a maximum or minimum boiling point, as compared with that of the non-azeotropic mixture of the same compounds.
- An azeotropic composition will not fractionate within a refrigeration or air conditioning system during operation. Additionally, an azeotropic composition will not fractionate upon leakage from a refrigeration or air conditioning system.
- azeotrope-like composition (sometimes referred to as “nearazeotrope”) is meant essentially constant boiling, or substantially constant boiling, liquid mixture of two or more substances that behaves as a single substance.
- azeotrope- 1 ike composition One way to characterize an azeotrope- 1 ike composition is that the vapor produced by partial evaporation or distillation of the liquid has substantially the same composition as the liquid from which it was evaporated or distilled, that is, the mixture distills/refluxes without substantial composition change.
- Another way to characterize an azeotrope-like composition is that the bubble point vapor pressure and the dew point vapor pressure of the composition at a particular temperature are substantially the same, for example within 3 percent.
- a composition may be azeotropelike if, after 50 weight percent (50 wt.%) of the composition is removed, such as by evaporation or boiling off, the difference in vapor pressure, between the original composition and the composition remaining after 50 weight percent of the original composition has been removed, is less than about 10 percent (10%).
- Azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions will have very low or zero temperature glide in the heat exchangers of a refrigerant system, including refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pump and chiller systems.
- a composition with an average temperature glide of 1.0 K or less will be considered to be azeotropic or azeotrope-like.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are compositions comprising HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFC-32, HFC-134, CF3I, and CO2.

Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION
LOW GWP COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING HFO-1252ZC AND USES THEREOF
FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to compositions useful as refrigerants in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems. The compositions are useful in methods for producing cooling and heating, methods for replacing existing refrigerants, and refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pump, and chiller systems.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The fluorocarbon industry has been working for the past few decades to find replacement refrigerants for the ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) being phased out as a result of the Montreal Protocol. The solution for many applications has been the commercialization of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) compounds for use as refrigerants, solvents, fire extinguishing agents, blowing agents and propellants. These new compounds, such as HFC refrigerants, HFC-134a and HFC-125 being the most widely used at this time, have zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and thus are not affected by the current regulatory phase-out as a result of the Montreal Protocol. In addition to ozone depleting concerns, global warming is another environmental concern in many of these applications. HFC refrigerants such as HFC-134a and HFC-125 respectively have global warming potentials (GWP) of 1,430 and 3,500 according to the UN's IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4).
[0003] This regulatory landscape is continuously evolving, taking into consideration properties beyond just ODP and GWP. More particularly, there is a need for refrigerant compositions that not only meet low ODP standards and have low global warming potentials, but that also provide superior performance in a variety of applications and which meet the standards of evolving regulations.
[0004] The instant invention solves certain problems associated with conventional refrigerants and provides refrigerant blends containing 1 ,1-difluoropropene, which meet the evolving regulatory landscape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0050] The present invention relates to compositions comprising Z-1 ,2- difluoroethylene (HFO-1252zc) and at least one compounds selected from the group consisting of E-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132E), Z-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-
1132Z), difluoromethane (HFC-32), 1 ,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134), and iodotrifluoromethane (CF3I). These compositions are expected to provide blends with low global warming potential (GWP), improved environmental fate, safety, and performance which meet evolving standards and regulations.
[0051] A refrigerant is defined as a heat transfer fluid that undergoes a phase change from liquid to gas and back again during a cycle used to transfer of heat.
[0052] A heat transfer system is the system (or apparatus) used to produce a heating or cooling effect in a particular space. A heat transfer system may be a mobile system or a stationary system.
[0053] Examples of heat transfer systems are any type of refrigeration systems and air conditioning systems including, but not limited to, stationary heat transfer systems, air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators, heat pumps, flooded evaporator heat pumps, direct expansion chiller heat pumps, chillers, flooded evaporator chillers, direct expansion chillers, walk-in coolers, mobile refrigerators, mobile heat transfer systems, mobile heat pumps (including heat pumps for cabin comfort cooling and heating in automobiles), mobile air conditioning units (for cooling of passenger compartments in automobiles), dehumidifiers, and combinations thereof.
[0054] Volumetric capacity is the amount of heat absorbed or rejected divided by the theoretical compressor displacement. Heat removed or absorbed is the enthalpy difference across a heat exchanger multiplied by the refrigerant mass flowrate. Theoretical compressor displacement is the refrigerant mass flowrate divided by the density of the gas entering the compressor (i.e., compressor suction density). More simply, volumetric capacity is the suction density multiplied by the heat exchanger enthalpy difference. Higher volumetric capacity allows the use of a smaller compressor for the same heat load. Herein, cooling capacity refers to the volumetric capacity in cooling mode and heating capacity refers to the volumetric capacity in heating mode.
[0055] Coefficient of performance (COP) is the amount of heat absorbed or rejected divided by the required energy input to operate the cycle (approximated by the compressor power). COP is specific to the mode of operation of a heat pump, thus COP for heating or COP for cooling. COP is directly related to the energy efficiency ratio (EER).
[0056] Subcooling refers to the reduction of the temperature of a liquid below that liquid’s saturation point for a given pressure. The liquid saturation point is the temperature at which the vapor is completely condensed to a liquid. By cooling a liquid below the saturation temperature (or bubble point temperature), the net refrigeration effect can be increased. Subcooling thereby improves refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency of a system. The subcool amount is the amount of cooling below the saturation temperature (in degrees).
[0057] Superheating refers to the increase of the temperature of a vapor above that vapor’s saturation point for a given pressure. The vapor saturation point is the temperature at which the liquid is completely evaporated to a vapor. Superheating continues to heat the vapor to a higher temperature vapor at the given pressure. By heating the vapor above the saturation temperature (or dew point temperature), the net refrigeration effect can be increased. Superheating thereby improves refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency of a system when it occurs in the evaporator. Suction line superheat does not add to the net refrigeration effect and can reduce efficiency and capacity. The superheat amount is the amount of heating above the saturation temperature (in degrees).
[0058] Temperature glide (sometimes referred to simply as "glide") is the absolute value of the difference between the starting and ending temperatures of a phasechange process by a refrigerant within a condenser of a refrigerant system, exclusive of any subcooling or superheating. For an evaporator, the glide is the difference in temperature between the dew point and the evaporator inlet. Glide may be used to describe condensation or evaporation of a near azeotrope or non-azeotropic composition. When referring to the temperature glide of an air conditioning or heat pump system, it is common to provide the average temperature glide being the average of the temperature glide in the evaporator and the temperature glide in the condenser. Glide is applicable to blend refrigerants, i.e., refrigerants that are composed of at least 2 components.
[0059] The net refrigeration effect is the quantity of heat that each kilogram of refrigerant absorbs in the evaporator to produce useful cooling.
[0060] The mass flow rate is the quantity of refrigerant in kilograms circulating through the refrigeration, heat pump or air conditioning system over a given period of time.
[0061] As used herein, the term “lubricant” means any material added to a composition or a compressor (and in contact with any heat transfer composition in use within any heat transfer system) that provides hydrodynamic lubrication to the compressor to aid in preventing parts from seizing.
[0062] Global warming potential (GWP) is an index for estimating relative global warming contribution due to atmospheric emission of a kilogram of a particular greenhouse gas compared to emission of a kilogram of carbon dioxide. GWP can be calculated for different time horizons showing the effect of atmospheric lifetime for a given gas. The GWP for the 100-year time horizon is commonly the value referenced. For mixtures, a weighted average can be calculated based on the individual GWPs for each component. Herein, the GWP values are those reported in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), for those compounds listed. The GWP used for each component is listed here.
[0063] Ozone depletion potential (ODP) is a number that refers to the amount of ozone depletion caused by a substance. The ODP is the ratio of the impact on
ozone of a chemical compared to the impact of a similar mass of CFC-11 (fluorotrichloromethane). Thus, the ODP of CFC-11 is defined to be 1.0. Other CFCs and HCFCs have ODPs that range from 0.01 to 1.0. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and the hydrofluoro-olefins (HFO’s) described herein have zero ODP because they do not contain chlorine, bromine or iodine, species known to contribute to ozone breakdown and depletion. HFO-1252zc and HFO-1132E have zero ozone depletion potential.
[0064] An azeotropic composition may refer to a constant-boiling mixture of two or more substances that behave as a single substance. One way to characterize an azeotropic composition is that the vapor produced by partial evaporation or distillation of the liquid has the same composition as the liquid from which it is evaporated or distilled. For example, the mixture distills/refluxes without compositional change. Constant-boiling compositions are characterized as azeotropic because they exhibit either a maximum or minimum boiling point, as compared with that of the non-azeotropic mixture of the same compounds. An azeotropic composition will not fractionate within a refrigeration or air conditioning system during operation. Additionally, an azeotropic composition will not fractionate upon leakage from a refrigeration or air conditioning system.
[0065] By "azeotrope-like" composition (sometimes referred to as “nearazeotrope”) is meant essentially constant boiling, or substantially constant boiling, liquid mixture of two or more substances that behaves as a single substance. One way to characterize an azeotrope- 1 ike composition is that the vapor produced by partial evaporation or distillation of the liquid has substantially the same composition as the liquid from which it was evaporated or distilled, that is, the mixture distills/refluxes without substantial composition change. Another way to characterize an azeotrope-like composition is that the bubble point vapor pressure and the dew point vapor pressure of the composition at a particular temperature are substantially the same, for example within 3 percent. Another way to characterize an azeotropelike composition is that the difference between the bubble point pressure (“BP”) and dew point pressure (“DP”) of the composition at a particular temperature is less than or equal to 5 percent based upon the bubble point pressure.
[0066] Another manner to characterize a near-azeotropic composition is that the bubble point vapor pressure and the dew point pressure of the composition at a particular temperature are substantially the same. A composition may be azeotropelike if, after 50 weight percent (50 wt.%) of the composition is removed, such as by evaporation or boiling off, the difference in vapor pressure, between the original composition and the composition remaining after 50 weight percent of the original composition has been removed, is less than about 10 percent (10%).
[0067] Azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions will have very low or zero temperature glide in the heat exchangers of a refrigerant system, including refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pump and chiller systems. Herein, a composition with an average temperature glide of 1.0 K or less will be considered to be azeotropic or azeotrope-like. A composition with zero average temperature glide will be considered to be azeotropic.
[0068] 1,1 -Difluoropropene (HFO-1252zc or R-1252zc) may be prepared by hydrogenation of 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFO-1243zf) over palladium on carbon catalyst to form 1,1,1 -trifluoropropane (HFC-263fb), followed by dehydrofluorination of the HFC-263fb over chrome catalyst or by pyrolysis at high temperatures (see U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/527133, herein incorporated by reference).
[0069] The other components of the compositions as disclosed herein are available commercially from various fluorochemical manufacturers and/or specialty chemical suppliers, or can be made by methods known in the art.
[0070] As used herein, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0071] The transitional phrase "consisting of' excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified. If in the claim such would close the claim to the inclusion of materials other than those recited except for impurities ordinarily associated therewith. When the phrase "consists of" appears in a clause of the body of a claim,
rather than immediately following the preamble, it limits only the element set forth in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.
[0072] The transitional phrase "consisting essentially of" is used to define a composition, method or apparatus that includes materials, steps, features, components, or elements, in addition to those literally disclosed provided that these additional included materials, steps, features, components, or elements do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed invention. The term 'consisting essentially of occupies a middle ground between “comprising” and 'consisting of'. Typically, components of the refrigerant mixtures and the refrigerant mixtures themselves can contain minor amounts (e.g., less than about 0.5 weight percent total) of impurities and/or byproducts (e.g., from the manufacture of the refrigerant components or reclamation of the refrigerant components from other systems) which do not materially affect the novel and basic characteristics of the refrigerant mixture.
[0073] Also, use of “a” or “an” are employed to describe elements and components described herein. This is done merely for convenience and to give a general sense of the scope of the invention. This description should be read to include one or at least one and the singular also includes the plural unless it is obvious that it is meant otherwise.
[0074] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of embodiments of the disclosed compositions, suitable methods and materials are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety, unless a particular passage is cited. In case of conflict, the present specification, including definitions, will control. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.

[0090] In another embodiment, for the compositions according to any of the foregoing embodiments wherein the HFC-32 is present at about 1 to 22 weight percent, or at about 10 to 22 weight percent, or at about 15 to 22 weight percent.
[0091] In another embodiment, for the compositions according to any of the foregoing embodiments wherein the HFC-134 is present at about 1 to 13 weight percent, or at about 5 to 13 weight percent, or at about 8 to 13 weight percent.
[0092] In another embodiment, it is desirable to have flammability class 2 (or less flammable) for the compositions. Therefore, disclosed herein are compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of about 1 to 26 weight percent HFO-1252zc and at least one of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, or a combination thereof.
[0093] In another embodiment, the compositions comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of: about 1 to 50 HFO-1252zc and about 50 to 99 weight percent HFO-
1132E; or about 1 to 50 HFO-1252zc and about 50 to 99 weight percent HFO-
1132Z; or about 1 to 50 HFO-1252zc and about 50 to 99 weight percent HFO-1132E and HFO-1132Z.
[0094] The compositions of the present invention may be classified by the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) as class 2, based on ASHRAE Standard 34. Thus, in another embodiment, wherein the compositions are classified as class 2 for flammability, the compositions comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of about 1 to 26 weight percent HFO-1252zc and about 74 to 99 weight percent HFO-1132E; or about 1 to 26 weight percent HFO-1252zc and about 74 to 99 weight percent HFO-1132Z; or about 1 to 26 weight percent HFO-1252zc and about 74 to 99 weight percent HFO- 1132E and HFO-1132Z.
[0095] Flammability is a term used to mean the ability of a composition to ignite and/or propagate a flame. For refrigerants and other heat transfer compositions or working fluids, the lower flammability limit ("LFL") is the minimum concentration of the heat transfer composition in air that is capable of propagating a flame through a homogeneous mixture of the composition and air under test conditions specified in ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) E681. The upper flammability limit ("UFL") is the maximum concentration of the heat transfer composition in air that is capable of propagating a flame through a homogeneous mixture of the composition and air under the same test conditions.
[0096] In order for a refrigerant to be classified by ANSI/ASHRAE (ANSI = American National Standards Institute) as class 1 or non-flammable, it must have no flame propagation when tested at 140°F (60°C) and 14.7 psia (101.3 kPa).
[0097] In order for a refrigerant to be classified by ANSI/ASHRAE as low flammability (class 2L), it must: 1) exhibit flame propagation when tested at 140°F (60°C) and 14.7 psia (101.3 kPa); 2) have an LFL >0.0062 lb/ft3 (0.10 kg/m3); 3) have a heat of combustion <8169 Btu/lb (19,000 kJ/kg); and 4) have a maximum burning velocity of <3.9 in./s (10 cm/s) when tested at 73.4°F (23.0°C) and 14.7 psia (101.3 kPa) in dry air.
[0098] In order for a refrigerant to be classified by ANSI/ASHRAE as flammable (class 2), it must: 1) exhibit flame propagation when tested at 140°F (60°C) and 14.7
psia (101.3 kPa); 2) have an LFL >0.0062 lb/ft3 (0.10 kg/m3); and 3) have a heat of combustion <8169 Btu/lb (19,000 kJ/kg).
[0099] ASH RAE Standard 34 provides a methodology to calculate the heat of combustion for refrigerant blends using a balanced stoichiometric equation based on the complete combustion of one mole of refrigerant with enough oxygen for a stoichiometric reaction.
[0100] The compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO- 1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I, may further comprise at least one additional compound. The at least one additional compound may be selected from the group consisting of methane, ethane, HFC-41 (fluoromethane), HCC-40 (chloromethane), HFCF-22 (chlorodifluoromethane), HFC-23 (trifluoromethane), HFO-1141 (fluoroethylene), HFO-1132E (E-1 ,2-difluoroethylene), HFO-1132Z (Z-
1.2-difluoroethylene), HFC-161 (fluoroethane), HFC-152 (1 ,2-difluoroethane), HFC- 143 (1 ,1 ,2-trifluoroethane), HFC-143a (1 ,1 ,1-trifluoroethane), HFC-134a (1 , 1 ,1 ,2- tetrafluoroethane), PFC-116 (hexafluoroethane), HCFO-1122 (1-chloro-2,2- difluoroethylene), HCFO-1122aE (E-1-chloro-1 ,2-difluoroethylene), HCFO-1122aZ (Z-1-chloro-1 ,2-difluoroethylene), HCC-150 (1,2-dichloroethane), HCFC-151 (1- chloro-2-fluoroethane), CFO-1112E (E-1 ,2-dichloro-1 ,2-difluoroethylene), CFO-
1112Z (Z-1 ,2-dichloro-1 ,2-difluoroethylene), HCFC-142a (1-chloro-1 ,2- difluoroethane), HCFC-132 (1 ,2-dichloro-1 ,2-difluoroethane), HCFC-133 (1-chloro-
1.1.2-trifluoroethane), HCFC-133b (2-chloro-1 ,1 ,1-trifluoroethane), HCFC-123 (1 ,1- dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane), HFO-1123 (trifluoroethylene), HFO-1132a (1 ,1- difluoroethylene), HCFO-1131 E (E-1-chloro-2-fluoroethylene), HCFO-1131Z (Z-1- chloro-2-fluoroethylene), ethylene, and acetylene.
[0101] The amount of additional compounds present in any of the foregoing refrigerant compositions can be greater than 0 ppm and less than 5,000 ppm and, in particular, can range from greater than zero to about 1 ,000 ppm, about 5 to about 500 ppm and about 1 to about 100 ppm.
[0102] In one embodiment, the amount of additional compounds present in any of the foregoing refrigerant compositions can be greater than 0 and less than 1 wt% of
the refrigerant composition, preferably less than 0.5 weight percent, or more preferably less than 0.1 weight percent.
[0103] The compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO- 1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I will perform more consistently and be more stable with only minor amounts of water present. Thus, the compositions may further comprise less than 100 ppm (by weight) water, preferably less than 20 ppm (by weight) water, and even more preferably less than 10 ppm (by weight) water.
[0104] Additionally, the compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I will perform more consistently and be more stable with only minor amounts of oxygen or air present. Therefore, the presently claimed compositions may further comprise less than about 5 volume percent non-adsorbable gases (NAG), preferably less than 3 volume percent NAG, and more preferably less than 1.5 volume percent NAG. Further, the presently claimed compositions, due to the presence of air or NAG, will contain less than 1 volume percent oxygen, preferably less than 0.5 volume percent oxygen, and more preferably less than 0.3 volume percent oxygen.
[0105] In another embodiment, the compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I may contain a stabilizer. Such stabilizer compounds are intended to be present in a small amount and prevent various types of chemical reactivity including decomposition due to the presence of water, air, NAG, or oxygen in a system while in use or while the composition is stored. HFO type refrigerants, due to the presence of a double bond, may be subject to thermal instability and decompose under extreme use, handling or storage situations also. Therefore, there may be advantages to adding stabilizers to HFO type refrigerants. Stabilizers may notably include nitromethane, ascorbic acid, terephthalic acid, azoles such as tolutriazole or benzotriazole, phenolic compounds such as tocopherol, hydroquinone, t-butyl hydroquinone, 2 ,6-d i-tertbutyl-4- methylphenol, epoxides (possibly fluorinated or perfluorinated alkyl epoxides or
alkenyl or aromatic epoxides) such as n-butyl glycidyl ether, hexanediol diglycidyl ether, allyl glycidyl ether, butylphenylglycidyl ether, cyclic monoterpenes, terpenes, such as d-limonene, a-terpinene, b-terpinene, g-terpinene, a-pinene, or b-pinene, phosphites, phosphates, phosphonates, thiols and lactones. Examples of suitable stabilizers are disclosed in WO2019213004, WO2020222864, and WO2020222865; the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
[0106] If the composition does include a stabilizer, it may include any amount from 0.001 wt% up to 1 wt%, preferably from about 0.001 to about 0.5 weight percent, more preferably, from about 0.001 to about 0.3 weight percent of any of the stabilizers listed above.
[0107] In some embodiments, the compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I may contain a tracer compound or tracers. The tracer may comprise two or more tracer compounds. In some embodiments, the tracer is present in the compositions at a total concentration of about 50 parts per million by weight (ppm) to about 1000 ppm, based on the weight of the total composition. In other embodiments, the tracer is present at a total concentration of about 50 ppm to about 500 ppm. Alternatively, the tracer is present at a total concentration of about 100 ppm to about 300 ppm.
[0108] The tracer may be present in compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I in predetermined quantities to allow detection of any dilution, contamination, or other alteration of the composition. The presence of certain compounds in the composition may indicate by what method or process one of the components has been produced. The tracer may also be added to the composition in a specified amount in order to identify the source of the composition. In this manner, detection of infringement on patent rights may be accomplished. The tracers may be refrigerant compounds but are present in the composition at levels that are unlikely to impact performance of the refrigerant component of the composition.
[0109] Tracer compounds may be hydrofluorocarbons, hydrofluoroolefins, hydrochlorocarbons, hydrochloroolefins, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluoroolefins, hydrochlorocarbons, hydrochloroolefins, chlorofluorocarbons, chlorofluoroolefins, hydrocarbons, perfluorocarbons, perfluoroolefins, and combinations thereof.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS
[0128] The compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO- 1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I are useful in numerous methods and systems that provide cooling (e.g. air-conditioning or refrigeration) and heating.
[0129] In one embodiment, provided is a method of cooling comprising evaporating a composition comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO- 1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I in the vicinity of a body to be cooled and thereafter condensing said composition, wherein said cooling is provided by a refrigeration system, air-conditioner, heat pump, or chiller.
[0130] In one embodiment, the refrigeration system may be a residential, commercial, or industrial refrigeration system. These may include, but are not limited to, supermarket and convenience store refrigerated cases for beverages, dairy, and produce and prepared foods. In one embodiment, the refrigeration system is a low or medium temperature refrigeration system, including supermarket and convenience store refrigerator and freezer cabinets and displays, ice machines,
self-contained coolers and freezers, such as beverage coolers, walk-in and reach-in coolers and freezers, supermarket rack and distributed systems, and refrigerated or frozen food transport.
[0131] In one embodiment, the air conditioner may be a residential, commercial, or industrial air-conditioning system. These may include, but are not limited to, window, ducted, ductless, packaged terminal, and those exterior to, but connected to the building, such as rooftop systems. These may also include residential heat pumps that provide comfort air-conditioning and heating.
[0132] In another embodiment, the cooling may be performed in a chiller. Chillers, including both flooded evaporator and direct expansion chillers, may be coupled with an air handling and distribution system to provide comfort air conditioning (cooling and dehumidifying the air) to large commercial buildings, including hotels, office buildings, hospitals, universities and the like. In another embodiment, chillers, most likely air-cooled direct expansion chillers, have found additional utility in naval submarines and surface vessels.
[0133] Chillers may be characterized by the compressor used. In one embodiment, the chiller may comprise a centrifugal compressor. In another embodiment, the chiller may comprise a scroll compressor. In another embodiment the chiller may comprise a screw compressor. In yet another embodiment, the chiller may comprise a reciprocating compressor.
[0134] The present method for cooling may be particularly useful in high ambient temperature regions, due to the high critical temperature of blends comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I.
[0135] In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is particularly useful in regions where the ambient temperature can exceed at least 35°C.
[0136] In geographic areas with high ambient temperatures, where air conditioning becomes essential, refrigerant compositions with high critical temperatures and high thermal stability are desirable. Currently available hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants such as R-410A, R-407C or R-32 have relatively low critical
temperatures. As a consequence, these refrigerants do not perform well in extreme hot environments. The energy efficiency of a refrigerant generally decreases as the condensing temperature approaches the refrigerant critical temperature during operation at high ambient temperatures. In hot climates, R-22 has remained the refrigerant of choice for much air conditioning and refrigeration applications as it is not flammable and has a higher critical temperature so that it delivers higher cooling capacity and higher energy efficiency in hot climates as compared to R-410A or R- 32. However, R-22 is an ozone depleting substance in the Montreal Protocol to reduce ozone depletion. As such, R-22 has been mandated and legislated for phase out for manufacture for and use in air conditioning and refrigeration. There is interest in finding a refrigerant with the lowest possible direct GWP and also that performs well in hot climate (or high ambient) temperature regions.
[0137] In the method for producing cooling the body to be cooled may be defined as any space, location, object, or body for which it is desirable to provide cooling. Examples include spaces, open or enclosed, that require cooling such as a residence, such as an apartment or apartment building, university dormitory, townhouse or other attached house, or a single-family home; or the body to be cooled may be any other building, such as an office building, supermarket, college or university classroom or administration buildings.
[0138] In another embodiment, a method for producing air conditioning in high ambient temperatures is provided. The method comprises evaporating a composition comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO- 1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I and thereafter condensing said composition. The method is particularly useful in regions where ambient temperatures can exceed 35°C or more.
[0139] In another embodiment, a method is provided for replacing HCFC-22 in high ambient air conditioning apparatus comprising providing a composition comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I to said apparatus. The method of replacing HCFC-22 is particularly useful in regions where ambient temperatures can exceed 35°C or more.
[0140] Similarly, in some industrial air conditioning applications heat must be released in high ambient temperature environments. HCFC-124 has been used as the working fluid in such applications. HCFC-124 is also controlled under the Montreal protocol as an ozone depleting substance and more environmentally sustainable replacements are desirable. Thus, a method is provided for replacing HCFC-124 in industrial air conditioning apparatus, comprising providing a composition comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO- 1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I to said apparatus. The method of replacing HCFC-124 is particularly useful in regions where ambient temperatures can exceed 35°C or more.
[0141] In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling and method for replacing HCFC-22 or HCFC-124 are useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures of 40°C or higher. In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures of 45°C or higher. In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures of 50°C or higher. In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures of 55°C or higher. In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures of 60°C or higher. In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures from 35-50°C. In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures from 35-60°C. In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures from 40- 60°C. In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures from 45-60°C. In another embodiment, the method for producing cooling is useful for systems operating in ambient temperatures from 50-60°C.
[0142] In another embodiment, provided is a method of heating comprising evaporating a composition comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-
1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I and thereafter condensing said composition in the vicinity of a body to be heated.
[0143] In one embodiment, the heating is accomplished by a heat pump, which may be a residential, light commercial, commercial, or industrial heat pump system. These may include, but are not limited to, residential heat pumps that provide comfort air-conditioning and heating, hot water heat pumps for heating air (by secondary loop) or for heating water for residential or commercial use, heat pumps for heating manufacturing process equipment, and high temperature heat pumps (with condensing temperature of 50 deg C or higher).
[0144] Due to the high critical temperature of blends comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I it is possible to heat water to higher temperatures than propane or R-454C.
[0145] In another embodiment, is provided a system for cooling or heating comprising a composition comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO- 1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO- 1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I. The system comprises an evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion device, each operably connected to perform a vapor compression cycle. In another embodiment, the system may further comprise a lubricant. The lubricant may be selected from the group consisting of polyalkylene glycol, polyol ester, poly-a-olefin, and polyvinyl ether. In another embodiment, the lubricant is selected from POE or PVE.
[0146] The system for cooling or heating may be a refrigeration system, airconditioner, heat pump, or chiller.
[0147] In one embodiment, the refrigeration system may be a residential, commercial, or industrial refrigeration system. These may include, but are not limited to, supermarket and convenience store refrigerated cases for beverages, dairy, and produce and prepared foods. In one embodiment, the refrigeration system is a low or medium temperature refrigeration system, including supermarket and convenience store refrigerator and freezer cabinets and displays, ice machines, self-contained coolers and freezers, such as beverage coolers, walk-in and reach-in
coolers and freezers, supermarket rack and distributed systems, and refrigerated or frozen food transport.
[0148] In one embodiment, the air conditioner may be a residential, commercial, or industrial air-conditioning system. These may include, but are not limited to, window, ducted, ductless, packaged terminal, and those exterior to, but connected to the building, such as rooftop systems. These may also include residential heat pumps that provide comfort air-conditioning and heating.
[0149] In one embodiment, the system is a heat pump, which may be a residential, light commercial, commercial, or industrial heat pump system. These may include, but are not limited to, residential heat pumps that provide comfort air-conditioning and heating, hot water heat pumps for heating air (by secondary loop) or for heating water for residential or commercial use, heat pumps for heating manufacturing process equipment, and high temperature heat pumps (with condensing temperature of 50 deg C or higher).
[0150] In another embodiment, the system is a chiller. Chillers, including both flooded evaporator and direct expansion chillers, may be coupled with an air handling and distribution system to provide comfort air conditioning (cooling and dehumidifying the air) to large commercial buildings, including hotels, office buildings, hospitals, universities and the like. In another embodiment, chillers, most likely air-cooled direct expansion chillers, have found additional utility in naval submarines and surface vessels.
[0151] Chillers may be characterized by the compressor used. In one embodiment, the chiller may comprise a centrifugal compressor. In another embodiment, the chiller may comprise a scroll compressor. In another embodiment the chiller may comprise a screw compressor. In yet another embodiment, the chiller may comprise a reciprocating compressor. When replacing a refrigerant in a chiller, the compressor, often designed for the refrigerant to be used, may need modification. Therefore, for centrifugal chillers, the impeller diameter or impeller tip speed for the new refrigerant must be similar or match that for the original refrigerant to be used as a drop-in replacement.
[0152] In another embodiment, the system containing the compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I may be an automobile heat pump for cooling and heating the passenger compartment, battery or electronic systems of an electric or hybrid vehicle. Electric or hybrid vehicles include automobiles with no internal combustion engine (ICE) or those that maintain an ICE but also use electric power and are therefore hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PH EV) or mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV). Additionally, electric or hybrid vehicles include full electric vehicles (EV), such as battery electric vehicles (BEV). All of these electric or hybrid vehicles use at least one electric motor, wherein the electric motor provides some form of propulsion for the vehicles normally provided by the ICE found in gasoline/diesel powered vehicles.
[0153] In one embodiment, the automobile heat pump is a secondary loop system. The secondary loop allows the separation of a flammable refrigerant from the passenger compartment, using a heat transfer fluid to produce cooling or heating in the passenger compartment.
[0154] In another embodiment, the automobile heat pump does not include a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater. The PTC heater often used in electric vehicles is needed in the absence of an ICE to provide adequate heating to the passenger compartment.
[0155] In another embodiment, the compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I may be used in a method of replacing at least one of R-22, HFC-134a, propane, HFO- 1234yf, R-407C, R-404A, R-410A, R-513A, R-454A, R-454B, R-454C, R-448A, R- 449A, R-449B, R-449C, R-452A, or R-452C, in refrigeration, air-conditioning, heat pump, or chiller systems comprising providing any of the compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO-1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I to the system in place of R-22, HFC-134a, propane, HFO-1234yf, R-407C,

In another embodiment, the replacement is simply providing a new refrigerant for an application or use, wherein the new refrigerant can provide improved performance, or meet regulatory requirements that are not met by the incumbent refrigerant.
[0157] The compositions comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of HFO-1252zc and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HFO- 1132E, HFO-1132Z, HFC-32, HFC-134, and CF3I provide performance that would allow replacement of R-22, HFC-134a, propane, HFO-1234yf, R-407C, R-404A, R- 410A, R-513A, R-454A, R-454B, R-454C, R-448A, R-449A, R-449B, R-449C, R- 452A, or R-452C..
