US Patent 10316231 Low-temperature and average-temperature refrigeration

Binary compositions of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and difluoromethane, as a heat transfer fluid in compression, low-temperature and average temperature refrigeration systems, with exchangers operating in counterflow mode or in split flow mode with counterflow tendency. Also, to a heat transfer method. The binary compositions can replace R-404A and R-407C (ternary mixture containing 52 wt. % of HFC-134a, 25 wt. % of pentafluoroethane and 23 wt. % of difluoromethane) in compression-type heat-transfer systems with exchangers operating in countercurrent mode or in crossed-current mode with countercurrent tendency.
