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 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 volumetric cooling capacity of the refrigerant is greater than the individual volumetric 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 as refrigerant, 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.
