Abstract

To provide a composition for a heat cycle system having favorable lubricating properties and comprising a working fluid for heat cycle which has a low global warming potential and which can replace R410A and a heat cycle system employing the composition. A composition for a heat cycle system comprising a working fluid for heat cycle containing trifluoroethylene, and a refrigerant oil (for example, an ester refrigerant oil, an ether refrigerant oil, a polyglycol refrigerant oil or a hydrocarbon refrigerant oil), and a heat cycle system employing the composition for a heat cycle system.

Claims (16)

1. A composition for a heat cycle system, comprising a working fluid for heat cycle, and a refrigerant oil, wherein the kinematic viscosity of the refrigerant oil at 40° C. is from 1 to 750 mm 2 /s, and the working fluid for heat cycle comprises at least 95 mass % of trifluoroethylene (HFO-1123), difluoromethane (HFC-32), and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf) in amounts of:

10 mass %≤HFO-1123≤80 mass %;

10 mass %≤HFC-32≤75 mass %; and

5 mass %≤HFO-1234yf≤40 mass %.

2. The composition for a heat cycle system according to claim 1 , wherein the refrigerant oil is at least one member selected from an ester refrigerant oil, an ether refrigerant oil, a polyglycol refrigerant oil and a hydrocarbon refrigerant oil.
