FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to refrigerant compositions that include at least one sulfur compound. This invention also relates to azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions that include a sulfur compound, said compositions being useful as cleaning agents, expansion agents for polyolefins and polyurethanes, aerosol propellants, refrigerants, heat transfer media, gaseous dielectrics, fire extinguishing agents, power cycle working fluids, polymerization media, particulate removal fluids, carrier fluids, buffing abrasive agents, and displacement drying agents.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Fluorinated hydrocarbons have many uses, one of which is as a refrigerant. Such refrigerants include dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) and chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22).

In recent years it has been pointed out that certain kinds of fluorinated hydrocarbon refrigerants released into the atmosphere may adversely affect the stratospheric ozone layer. Although this proposition has not yet been completely established, there is a movement toward the control of the use and the production of certain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) under an international agreement.

Accordingly, there is a demand for the development of refrigerants that have a lower ozone depletion potential than existing refrigerants while still achieving an acceptable performance in refrigeration applications. It is believed that sulfur compounds meet these criteria.

In refrigeration applications, a refrigerant is often lost during operation through leaks in shaft seals, hose connections, soldered joints and broken lines. In addition, the refrigerant may be released to the atmosphere during maintenance procedures on refrigeration equipment. If the refrigerant is not a pure component or an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition, the refrigerant composition may change when leaked or discharged to the atmosphere from the refrigeration equipment, which may result in undesirable changes to the refrigerant, such as causing the refrigerant to become flammable or to have poor refrigeration performance.

Accordingly, it is desirable to use as a refrigerant an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition that includes a sulfur compound.

Compositions that include a sulfur compound may also be used as a cleaning agent or solvent to clean, for example, electronic circuit boards. It is desirable that the cleaning agents be azeotropic or azeotrope-like because in vapor degreasing operations the cleaning agent is generally redistilled and reused for final rinse cleaning.

Azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions that include a sulfur compound are also useful as blowing agents in the manufacture of closed-cell polyurethane, phenolic and thermoplastic foams, as propellants in aerosols, as heat transfer media, gaseous dielectrics, fire extinguishing agents, power cycle working fluids, such as for heat pumps, inert media for polymerization reactions, fluids for removing particulates from metal surfaces, as carrier fluids that may be used, for example, to place a fine film of lubricant on metal parts, or as buffing abrasive agents to remove buffing abrasive compounds from polished surfaces such as metal, as displacement drying agents for removing water, such as from jewelry or metal parts, as resist developers in conventional circuit manufacturing techniques including chlorine-type developing agents, and as strippers for photoresists when used with, for example, a chlorohydrocarbon such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane or trichloroethylene.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the discovery of refrigerant compositions which include a first component of bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfide, difluoromethyl(trifluoromethyl)sulfide, pentafluoroethyl sulfur pentafluoride, difluoromethyl sulfur pentafluoride, trifluoromethylsulfur pentafluoride or bis(pentafluoroethyl)sulfide and a second component of difluoromethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,2-trifluoroethane, 1,1-difluoroethane, fluoroethane, dimethyl ether, ammonia, fluoromethyl trifluoromethyl ether, trifluoromethyl methyl ether, 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane, 2-fluoropropane, cyclopropane, bis(difluoromethyl)ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoropropane, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane, 2,2-difluoropropane, 1-fluoropropane, 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane, 1,2,2-trifluoropropane, 2,2-difluoropropane, 1,2-difluoropropane, 1,1-difluoropropane, 1-fluoropropane, 1-trifluoromethoxy-2,2,2-trifluoroethane, tris(trifluoromethyl)amine or 1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane, as well as azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions of these components.

The compositions of the invention are also useful as cleaning agents, expansion agents for polyolefins and polyurethanes, aerosol propellants, refrigerants, heat transfer media, gaseous dielectrics, fire extinguishing agents, power cycle working fluids, polymerization media, particulate removal fluids, carrier fluids, buffing abrasive agents, and displacement drying agents.

The present invention also relates to the discovery of azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions of effective amounts of 116S and HFC-32, HFC-134, HFC-134a, HFC-143, HFC-152a, HFC-161, DME, NH.sub.3, 134aE, 143aE, HFC-245cb, HFC-281ea, or cyclopropane; 125S and HFC-32, 134E, HFC-143, NH.sub.3, HFC-254cb, HFC-254eb, HFC-272ca or HFC-281fa; SF.sub.5 C.sub.2 F.sub.5 and HFC-32, HFC-245fa, HFC-263ca, HFC-272ca, HFC-272ea, HFC-272fb, HFC-281fa or NH.sub.3 ; SF.sub.5 CF.sub.2 H and 236faE, HFC-245cb, NH.sub.3 or (CF.sub.3).sub.3 N; SF.sub.5 CF.sub.3 and HFC-32, HFC-134a, HFC-152a, 134aE, HFC-161, DME, cyclopropane, 143aE, HFC-245cb, HFC-143 or NH.sub.3 ; 3110Sbg and HFC-245ca to form an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition.

By "azeotropic" composition is meant a constant boiling liquid admixture of two or more substances that behaves as a single substance. One way to characterize an azeotropic composition is that the vapor produced by partial evaporation or distillation of the liquid has the same composition as the liquid from which it was evaporated or distilled, that is, the admixture distills/refluxes without compositional change. Constant boiling compositions are characterized as azeotropic because they exhibit either a maximum or minimum boiling point, as compared with that of the non-azeotropic mixtures of the same components.

By "azeotrope-like" composition is meant a constant boiling, or substantially constant boiling, liquid admixture of two or more substances that behaves as a single substance. One way to characterize an azeotrope-like composition is that the vapor produced by partial evaporation or distillation of the liquid has substantially the same composition as the liquid from which it was evaporated or distilled, that is, the admixture distilis/refluxes without substantial composition change.

It is recognized in the art that a composition is azeotropic or azeotrope-like if, after 50 weight percent of the composition is removed such as by evaporation or boiling off, the difference in vapor pressure between the original composition and the composition remaining after 50 weight percent of the original composition has been removed is less than 10 percent, when measured in absolute units. By absolute units, it is meant measurements of pressure and, for example, psia, atmospheres, bars, torr, dynes per square centimeter, millimeters of mercury, inches of water and other equivalent terms well known in the art.

Therefore, included in this invention are compositions of effective amounts of sulfur component, wherein the sulfur component is 116S, 125S, SF.sub.5 C.sub.2 F.sub.5, SF.sub.5 CF.sub.2 H, SF.sub.5 CF.sub.3 or 3110Sbg and a second component, wherein the second component is HFC-32, HFC-134, HFC-134a, HFC-143, HFC-152a, HFC-161, DME, NH.sub.3, 134aE, 143aE, HFC-245cb, HFC-281ea, cyclopropane, 134E, HFC-254eb, HFC-272ca or HFC-281fa such that after 50 weight percent of an original composition is evaporated or boiled off to produce a remaining composition, the difference in the vapor pressure between the original composition and the remaining composition is 10 percent or less.

For compositions that are azeotropic, there is usually some range of compositions around the azeotrope point that, for a maximum boiling azeotrope, have boiling points at a particular pressure higher than the pure components of the composition at that pressure and have vapor pressures at a particular temperature lower than the pure components of the composition at that temperature, and that, for a minimum boiling azeotrope, have boiling points at a particular pressure lower than the pure components of the composition at that pressure and have vapor pressures at a particular temperature higher than the pure components of the composition at that temperature. Boiling temperatures and vapor pressures above or below that of the pure components are caused by unexpected intermolecular forces between and among the molecules of the compositions, which can be a combination of repulsive and attractive forces such as van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding.

The components of the compositions of this invention have the following vapor pressures at 25.degree. C.

For purposes of this invention, "effective amount" is defined as the amount of each component of the inventive compositions which, when combined, results in the formation of an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition. This definition includes the amounts of each component, which amounts may vary depending on the pressure applied to the composition so long as the azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions continue to exist at the different pressures, but with possible different boiling points.

Therefore, effective amount includes the amounts, such as may be expressed in weight percentages, of each component of the compositions of the instant invention which form azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions at temperatures or pressures other than as described herein.

For the purposes of this discussion, azeotropic or constant-boiling is intended to mean also essentially azeotropic or essentially-constant boiling. In other words, included within the meaning of these terms are not only the true azeotropes described above, but also other compositions containing the same components in different proportions, which are true azeotropes at other temperatures and pressures, as well as those equivalent compositions which are part of the same azeotropic system and are azeotrope-like in their properties. As is well recognized in this art, there is a range of compositions which contain the same components as the azeotrope, which will not only exhibit essentially equivalent properties for refrigeration and other applications, but which will also exhibit essentially equivalent properties to the true azeotropic composition in terms of constant boiling characteristics or tendency not to segregate or fractionate on boiling.

It is possible to characterize, in effect, a constant boiling admixture which may appear under many guises, depending upon the conditions chosen, by any of several criteria:

The composition can be defined as an azeotrope of A, B, C (and D . . . ) since the very term "azeotrope" is at once both definitive and limitative, and requires that effective amounts of A, B, C (and D . . . ) for this unique composition of matter which is a constant boiling composition.

It is well known by those skilled in the art, that, at different pressures, the composition of a given azeotrope will vary at least to some degree, and changes in pressure will also change, at least to some degree, the boiling point temperature. Thus, an azeotrope of A, B, C (and D . . . ) represents a unique type of relationship but with a variable composition which depends on temperature and/or pressure. Therefore, compositional ranges, rather than fixed compositions, are often used to define azeotropes.

The composition can be defined as a particular weight percent relationship or mole percent relationship of A, B, C (and D . . . ), while recognizing that such specific values point out only one particular relationship and that in actuality, a series of such relationships, represented by A, B, C (and D . . . ) actually exist for a given azeotrope, varied by the influence of pressure.

An azeotrope of A, B, C (and D . . . ) can be characterized by defining the compositions as an azeotrope characterized by a boiling point at a given pressure, thus giving identifying characteristics without unduly limiting the scope of the invention by a specific numerical composition, which is limited by and is only as accurate as the analytical equipment available.

The azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions of the present invention can be prepared by any convenient method including mixing or combining the desired amounts. A preferred method is to weigh the desired component amounts and thereafter combine them in an appropriate container.

Specific examples illustrating the invention are given below. Unless otherwise stated therein, all percentages are by weight. It is to be understood that these examples are merely illustrative and in no way are to be interpreted as limiting the scope of the invention.

EXAMPLE 2

Impact of Vapor Leakage on Vapor Pressure at 25.degree. C.

A vessel is charged with an initial composition at 25.degree. C., and the vapor pressure of the composition is measured. The composition is allowed to leak from the vessel, while the temperature is held constant at 25.degree. C., until 50 weight percent of the initial composition has been removed, at which time the vapor pressure of the composition remaining in the vessel is measured. The results are summarized below.
