Abstract

A refrigerant composition according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes trifluoroiodomethane (R-131I), 1,1-difluoroethane (R-152a) and difluoromethane (R-32), wherein a content of the trifluoroiodomethane (R-131I) may be 20 to 60 wt. % based on a total weight of the refrigerant composition. Accordingly, environmental pollution caused by the refrigerant composition may be suppressed, and the cooling performance of the refrigerant composition may be improved.
