Abstract

A working fluid for heat cycle contains trifluoroethylene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene. The proportion of the total amount of trifluoroethylene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene based on the entire amount of the working fluid is higher than 90 mass % and at most 100 mass %. The proportion of trifluoroethylene based on the total amount of trifluoroethylene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is at least 21 mass % and at most 39 mass %. The working fluid has a low global warming potential and suppressed self-decomposition property. A composition for a heat cycle system contains the working fluid and a heat cycle system employs the composition.

Claims (14)

1. A working fluid for heat cycle, comprising:

trifluoroethylene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene,

wherein

a proportion of a total amount of trifluoroethylene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene based on an entire amount of the working fluid is higher than 90 mass % and at most 100 mass %, and

a proportion of trifluoroethylene based on the total amount of trifluoroethylene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is at least 29.7 mass % and at most 38.0 mass %.

2. The working fluid according to claim 1 , wherein the proportion of trifluoroethylene based on the total amount of trifluoroethylene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is at least 31.5 mass % and at most 38.0 mass %.

3. The working fluid according to claim 2 , wherein the proportion of trifluoroethylene based on the total amount of trifluoroethylene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is at least 31.5 mass % and less than 35 mass %.

4. The working fluid according to claim 1 , wherein the proportion of the total amount of trifluoroethylene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene based on the entire amount of the working fluid is higher than 97 mass % and at most 100 mass %.

5. A composition for a heat cycle system, comprising:

the working fluid according to claim 1 , and
