HEAT TRANSFER COMPOSITIONS, METHODS, AND SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240263059 titled 'HEAT TRANSFER COMPOSITIONS, METHODS, AND SYSTEMS

The present invention pertains to a refrigerant composition containing difluoromethane (HFC-32), pentafluoroethane (HFC-125), and trifluoroiodomethane (CFI) for use in heat exchange systems, such as air conditioning and refrigeration applications. Specifically, it focuses on utilizing these compositions as a replacement for the refrigerant R-410A in heating and cooling applications, as well as retrofitting heat exchange systems designed for R-410A.

The patent introduces a refrigerant composition comprising HFC-32, HFC-125, and CFI for heat exchange systems.
It aims to replace R-410A in heating and cooling applications with these new compositions.
The innovation allows for retrofitting existing heat exchange systems designed for R-410A.
The composition is tailored for air conditioning and refrigeration applications.
The patent addresses the need for more environmentally friendly refrigerant options in the industry.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various heating and cooling systems, including residential and commercial air conditioning units, refrigerators, and heat pumps.

Problems Solved: The patent addresses the environmental concerns associated with traditional refrigerants like R-410A by providing a more sustainable alternative.

Benefits: The use of the new refrigerant composition can lead to reduced environmental impact, improved energy efficiency, and compliance with evolving regulations on refrigerant usage.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by HVAC companies, appliance manufacturers, and refrigeration businesses looking to adopt more eco-friendly practices in their products and services.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the new refrigerant composition compare to traditional refrigerants in terms of performance and efficiency? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale in the HVAC industry?
