Use of a composition as refrigerant in compressor, compressor, and refrigeration cycle apparatus
Damages to a refrigerant circuit of a refrigeration cycle apparatus due to a disproportionation reaction are suppressed. The use of a composition as a refrigerant in a compressor is use of, as a refrigerant, a composition containing one or two or more compounds selected from a group consisting of ethylene-based fluoroolefin, 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), and 1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze) in a compressor that includes a terminal ( 200 ) including a terminal pin ( 220 ) and a body ( 210 ) to which the terminal pin ( 220 ) is fixed, and the terminal pin ( 220 ) is fixed to the body ( 210 ) with a fixing adhesive ( 240 ) having a melting point or a softening point of 1000° C. or less.
