A phase change microcapsule having high blending fluidity and high latent heat of phase change, and a preparation method thereof is provided. The preparation method of the phase change microcapsules includes following steps of 1) heating and melting an organic phase change material to obtain a liquid core material; 2) evenly dispersing an emulsifying and dispersing agent in water, then adding carbamide, ammonium chloride and polyphenol, and mixing them evenly, followed by adjusting a pH value to 2.5-3.5 to obtain an aqueous phase solution; 3) adding the liquid core material and a defoaming agent to the aqueous phase solution to perform an emulsification to obtain an oil-in-water emulsion; and 4) adding a formaldehyde solution and a dispersing agent to the oil-in-water emulsion, after reaction is completed, performing a filtration, washing and drying.

In accordance with the present invention refrigerant compositions are disclosed. The compositions comprise HFC-32, HFC-125, HFO-1234yf, HFC-134a, and CO.sub.2. The refrigerant compositions are useful in processes to produce cooling and heating, in methods for replacing refrigerant R-410A or R-22, and in refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump systems. These inventive compositions are non-flammable and match cooling performance for R-22 and R-410A within ±15%. Additionally, these compositions may serve as replacements for R-404A, R-507, R407A, R407C and/or R-407F in refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump systems. The compositions as described herein have unexpected flammability properties.
