Claims
- 1. An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of about 47-99 weight percent 1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4-octafluorobutane and about 1-53 weight percent bis(fluoromethyl) ether, wherein at about 25.degree. C., the vapor pressure of the composition is higher than the vapor pressure of the individual components and wherein when the temperature has been adjusted to about 25.degree. C., the change in vapor pressure of the composition is less than about 10 percent, after 50 percent of the composition has been evaporated.
- 2. An azeotropic or azetrope-like composition consisting essentially of about 47-99 weight percent 1,1,1,2,3,4,4,4-octafluorobutane and about 1-53 weight percent bis(fluoromethyl) ether, wherein at about 25.degree. C., the vapor pressure of the composition is higher than the vapor pressure of the individual components and wherein when the temperature has been adjusted to about 25.degree. C., the change in vapor pressure of the composition is less than about 10 percent, after 50 percent of the composition has been evaporated.
- 3. An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of about 52-99 weight percent 1,1,1,2,2,4,4,4-octafluorobutane and about 1-48 weight percent bis(fluoromethyl) ether, wherein at about 25.degree. C., the vapor pressure of the composition is higher than the vapor pressure of the individual components and wherein when the temperature has been adjusted to about 25.degree. C., the change in vapor pressure of the composition is less than about 10 percent, after 50 percent of the composition has been evaporated.
- 4. The composition of claims 1, 2, or 3 wherein said composition is a refrigerant.
- 5. 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.
- 6. A process for producing heat comprising condensing a composition of claim 1 in the vicinity of a body to be heated, and thereafter evaporating said composition.
- 7. 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.
- 8. A process for producing heat comprising condensing a composition of claim 2 in the vicinity of a body to be heated, and thereafter evaporating said composition.
- 9. A process for producing refrigeration, comprising condensing a composition of claim 3 and thereafter evaporating said composition in the vicinity of the body to be cooled.
- 10. A process for producing heat comprising condensing a composition of claim 3 in the vicinity of a body to be heated, and thereafter evaporating said composition.
