Abstract

A fluoropropene composition comprising E-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene, and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, wherein the total amount of 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is 1.0 wt. % or less, based on the total weight of the fluoropropene composition. A method of producing the fluoropropene, composition and methods for using the fluoropropene composition are also disclosed.

Claims (25)

1. A composition comprising E-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene, and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, wherein the total amount of 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is 1.0 wt. % or less, based on the total weight of the composition.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is present in the composition in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.9 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

3. The composition of claim 1 or 2 , wherein the 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene is present in the composition in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.9 wt. % based on the total weight of the composition.

4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the E-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene is present in the-composition in an amount of 50.0 wt. % or more based on the total weight of the-composition.

5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the total amount of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene in the composition is 0.001 to 0.9 wt. % based on the total weight of the composition.

6. The composition of claim 5 , additionally comprising R-134, in an amount of 1.0 to 40.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

7. The composition of claim 5 , additionally comprising R-1336mzzE and R-227ea, in an amount of 15.0 to 20.0 wt. % of R-1336mzzE and of 2.0 to 5.0 wt. % of R-227ea based on the total weight of the composition.

8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the composition is a near-azeotropic composition.

9. The composition of claim 7 , further comprising a lubricant selected from the group consisting of paraffins, naphthenes aromatics, linear branched alkyl alkylbenzenes, synthetic paraffins, synthetic naphthenes, poly(alphaolefins), polyol esters, polyalkylene glycols, and polyvinyl ethers.

10. A process for transferring heat, comprising:

providing an article; and

contacting the article with a heat transfer media;

wherein the heat transfer media comprises the composition of claim 7 .

11. A refrigeration system, comprising:

an evaporator; a condenser; a compressor; an expansion device; and a heat transfer medium;

wherein the heat transfer medium comprises the composition of claim 9 .

12. A chiller apparatus comprising the composition of claim 9 .
