Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 65 words
An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of 1-77 weight percent bis(pentafluoroethyl)sulfide and 23-99 weight percent 1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane, said composition having a vapor pressure of from about 14 to about 17 psia when the temperature is adjusted to about 25° C., and wherein when about 50 weight percent of the composition is evaporated at about 25° C., the vapor pressure changes less than about 10 percent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 65 words
An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of 1-77 weight percent bis(pentafluoroethyl)sulfide and 23-99 weight percent 1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane, said composition having a vapor pressure of from about 14 to about 17 psia when the temperature is adjusted to about 25° C., and wherein when about 50 weight percent of the composition is evaporated at about 25° C., the vapor pressure changes less than about 10 percent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 57 words
A composition consisting essentially of greater than 0 to about 80 liquid mole percent bis(pentafluoroethyl)sulfide and about 20 to less than 100 liquid mole percent 1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane wherein the vapor pressure of the composition is higher than the vapor pressure of bis(pentafluoroethyl)sulfide and 1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane at about 20° C., when the temperature has been adjusted to about 20° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 57 words
A composition consisting essentially of greater than 0 to about 80 liquid mole percent bis(pentafluoroethyl)sulfide and about 20 to less than 100 liquid mole percent 1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane wherein the vapor pressure of the composition is higher than the vapor pressure of bis(pentafluoroethyl)sulfide and 1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane at about 20° C., when the temperature has been adjusted to about 20° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 26 words
A process for producing refrigeration, comprising condensing a composition of claim 1 and thereafter evaporating said composition in the vicinity of the body to be cooled.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 28 words
A process for producing heat comprising condensing a composition of any of claim 1 in the vicinity of a body to be heated, and thereafter evaporating said composition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 26 words
A process for producing refrigeration, comprising condensing a composition of claim 2 and thereafter evaporating said composition in the vicinity of the body to be cooled.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 28 words
A process for producing heat comprising condensing a composition of any of claim 2 in the vicinity of a body to be heated, and thereafter evaporating said composition.
