Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to compositions that include at least one fluoroether and at least one hydrofluorocarbon. Included in this invention are compositions of a cyclic or acyclic hydrofluoroether of the formula C a F b H 2a+2-b O c wherein a=2 or 3 and 3≦b≦8 and c=1 or 2 and a hydrofluorocarbon of the formula C n F m H 2n+2-m wherein 1≦n≦4 and 1≦m≦8. Such compositions may be used as refrigerants, cleaning agents, expansion agents for polyolefins and polyurethanes, aerosol propellants, 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.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of about 1-99 weight percent fluoromethyl trifluoromethyl ether and about 1-99 weight percent 1,1-difluoroethane wherein after 50 weight percent of the composition has been removed when the temperature has been adjusted to about 25° C., the difference in vapor pressure of the remaining composition and the original composition is less than about 10 percent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of about 1-99 weight percent fluoromethyl trifluoromethyl ether and about 1-99 weight percent 1,1-difluoroethane wherein after 50 weight percent of the composition has been removed when the temperature has been adjusted to about 25° C., the difference in vapor pressure of the remaining composition and the original composition is less than about 10 percent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process for producing refrigeration comprising condensing the composition of claim 1 and thereafter evaporating the condensate in the vicinity of a body to be cooled.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process for producing heat comprising condensing the composition of claim 1 in the vicinity of the body to be heated and thereafter evaporating said composition.
