Abstract
Abstract N,N,N',N'-tetrapropyldiaminopropane is fluorinated to produce a liquid predominantly perfluoro-N,N,N',N'-tetrapropyldiaminopropane, having inert properties and a boiling point in the range of 212° C. to 216° C. The inert liquid product is useful as a heat transfer liquid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
In a method of vapor phase soldering wherein a component to be soldered is immersed in or enveloped by a body of perfluorinated liquid vapor to melt the solder, and the component is then withdrawn from the body of vapor, the improvement comprising using as the perfluorinated liquid a liquid comprising predominantly perfluor-N,N',N'-tetrapropyldiaminopropane and having a boiling point of about 215° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
In a method of vapor phase soldering wherein a component to be soldered is immersed in or enveloped by a body of perfluorinated liquid vapor to melt the solder, and the component is then withdrawn from the body of vapor, the improvement comprising using as the perfluorinated liquid a liquid comprising predominantly perfluor-N,N',N'-tetrapropyldiaminopropane and having a boiling point of about 215° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
96 words
In a vapor phase soldering process, comprising heating a pool of inert perfluorinated liquid to boiling in a tank to form a saturated vapor in the space between the boiling liquid and condensing means, immersing in the vapor a workpiece to be soldered whereby the vapor is condensed on the surface of the workpiece so as to melt and reflow the solder, and soldered workpiece is then removed from the space containing the vapor, the improvement comprising using as said perfluorinated liquid a liquid comprising predominantly perfluoro-N,N,N',N'-tetrapropyldiaminopropane and having a boiling point of about 215° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
96 words
In a vapor phase soldering process, comprising heating a pool of inert perfluorinated liquid to boiling in a tank to form a saturated vapor in the space between the boiling liquid and condensing means, immersing in the vapor a workpiece to be soldered whereby the vapor is condensed on the surface of the workpiece so as to melt and reflow the solder, and soldered workpiece is then removed from the space containing the vapor, the improvement comprising using as said perfluorinated liquid a liquid comprising predominantly perfluoro-N,N,N',N'-tetrapropyldiaminopropane and having a boiling point of about 215° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said workpiece carries a solder having a melting point below 214° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method according to claim 3, wherein the solder used is a tin/lead solder.
