Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein is a chiller apparatus containing a composition comprising from 51 to 67 weight percent 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and from 49 to 33 weight percent 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, wherein the chiller apparatus is a centrifugal chiller apparatus. Also disclosed herein is a method for producing cooling in a chiller. The method comprises (a)evaporating a liquid refrigerant comprising from 51 to 67 weight percent 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and from 49 to 33 weight percent 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane in an evaporator having a heat transfer medium passing therethrough thereby producing a vapor refrigerant; and (b)compressing the vapor refrigerant in a compressor, wherein the volumetriecooling capacity of the refrigerant is greater than the individual volumetrie cooling capacities of both 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and 1,1,1,2- tetrafluoroethane alone, wherein the chiller apparatus is a centrifugal chiller apparatus. Also disclosed herein is a method for replacing a refrigerant in a chiller designed for using HFC-134a or CFC-12 asrefrigerant, comprising charging said chiller with a composition comprising a refrigerant consisting essentially of from 51 to 67 weight percent 2,3,3,3- tetrafluoropropene and from 49 to 33 weight percent 1,1,1,2- tetrafluoroethane thereby increasing the cooling capacity of the chiller, wherein the chiller apparatus is a centrifugal chiller apparatus.
