AZEOTROPE OR AZEOTROPE-LIKE COMPOSITIONS OF Z-1-CHLORO-2,3,3,3-TETRAFLUOROPROPENE (HCFO-1224yd(Z)) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18753843 titled 'AZEOTROPE OR AZEOTROPE-LIKE COMPOSITIONS OF Z-1-CHLORO-2,3,3,3-TETRAFLUOROPROPENE (HCFO-1224yd(Z))
The patent application describes heterogeneous azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions containing Z-1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HCFO-1224yd(Z)) and water, with a boiling point between 13.0°C and 14.0°C at a pressure of 14.0-15.0 psia. These compositions can be used as blowing agents in foam formation.
- These compositions consist of 47.0 wt. % to 99.7 wt. % HCFO-1224yd(Z) and 0.3 wt. % to 53.0 wt. % water.
- The boiling point of the compositions falls within a narrow range, making them suitable for specific applications.
- The azeotrope-like nature of the compositions ensures consistent performance in foam production.
- The use of HCFO-1224yd(Z) as a component provides environmentally friendly properties to the compositions.
- The compositions offer a controlled and efficient foaming process due to their unique properties.
Potential Applications: - Foam insulation in construction - Packaging materials - Refrigeration systems
Problems Solved: - Limited availability of environmentally friendly blowing agents - Inconsistent foaming results - High energy consumption in foam production processes
Benefits: - Reduced environmental impact - Improved foam quality and consistency - Energy-efficient foam production
Commercial Applications: Title: Eco-Friendly Blowing Agents for Foam Production The technology can be utilized in various industries such as construction, packaging, and refrigeration for sustainable foam production, meeting the increasing demand for eco-friendly solutions.
Questions about HFO-1224yd(Z): 1. How does the boiling point range of the compositions impact their application in foam production? 2. What are the key advantages of using HCFO-1224yd(Z) as a blowing agent in comparison to traditional options?
Original Abstract Submitted
Heterogeneous azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions comprising Z-1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HCFO-1224yd(Z)) and water which may include from about 47.0 wt. % to about 99.7 wt. % Z-1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HCFO-1224yd(Z)) and from about 0.3 wt. % to about 53.0 wt. % water and having a boiling point between about 13.0° C. and about 14.0° C. at a pressure of between about 14.0 psia and about 15.0 psia. The azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions may be used to as blowing agents in the formation of foams.
