Working medium and heat cycle system
View Patent ↗To provide a working medium for heat cycle, of which combustibility is suppressed, which has less influence over the ozone layer, which has less influence over global warming and which provides a heat cycle system excellent in the cycle performance (capacity), and a heat cycle system, of which the safety is secured, and which is excellent in the cycle performance (capacity). A working medium for heat cycle comprising 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene is employed for a heat cycle system (such as a Rankine cycle system, a heat pump cycle system, a refrigerating cycle system or a heat transport system).
1. A working medium, comprising:
based on a total amount of the working medium,
1,1,2-trifluoroethylene of at least 20 mass %, and
difluoromethane of at least 1 mass %.
2. The working medium according to claim 1 , further comprising: a hydrocarbon.
3. The working medium according to claim 1 , further comprising: a hydrochlorofluoroolefin or a chlorofluoroolefin.
4. The working medium according to claim 1 , which comprises 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene of at least 60 mass % based on the total amount of the working medium.
5. The working medium according to claim 2 , which comprises the hydrocarbon of from 1 to 40 mass % based on the total amount of the working medium.
6. The working medium according to claim 1 , which comprises difluoromethane of from 1 to 60 mass % based on the total amount of the working medium.
7. The working medium according to claim 3 , which comprises the hydrochlorofluoroolefin and the chlorofluoroolefin in a total content of from 1 to 60 mass % based on the total amount of the working medium.
8. The working medium according to claim 2 , wherein the hydrocarbon is propane, propylene, cyclopropane, butane, isobutane, pentane, or isopentane.
9. The working medium according to claim 3 , wherein the working medium comprises the hydrochlorofluoroolefin, which is 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene or 1-chloro-1,2-difluoroethylene.
10. The working medium according to claim 3 , wherein the working medium comprises the chlorofluoroolefin, which is 1,1-dichloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene or 1,2-dichloro-1,2-difluoroethylene.
11. A heat cycle system, comprising: the working medium according to claim 1 .
12. The working medium according to claim 1 , which comprises difluoromethane of at least 20 mass % based on the total amount of the working medium.
