1. A method for providing heat transfer of the type comprising evaporating refrigerant liquid to produce a refrigerant vapor, compressing in a compressor at least a portion of the refrigerant vapor and condensing refrigerant vapor in the condenser in a plurality of repeating cycles, said method comprising:
(a) providing a refrigerant comprising at least about 5% by weigh of a lower alkyl iodofluorocarbon;
(b) optionally providing lubricant for said compressor; and
(b) exposing at least a portion of said refrigerant and/or at least a portion of said lubricant in at least a portion of said plurality of said cycles to a sequestration material included in a filtration element, said sequestration material comprising one or more of:
i. copper or a copper alloy,
ii. activated alumina
iii. a zeolite molecular sieve comprising copper, silver, lead or a combination thereof,
iv an anion exchange resin, and
v. a moisture-removing material,
wherein said sequestration material comprises at least activated alumina and
wherein said exposing temperature is above about 10° C.
