Abstract

This paper reports a useful set of equations which enables the consistent and reliable calculation of thermodynamic properties. This set of equations consists of a vapour pressure equation, an equation for the gas phase p, v, T properties, an equation giving the saturated liquid densities and an equation for the specific heat capacity in the ideal gas domain. These equations are of a simple structure because the critical region is excluded. Therefore, for a preliminary investigation only few experimental data points are required for parameter regression, which makes this set of equations suitable for 'new' refrigerants. The relationships for enthalpy and entropy are derived from these equations and evaluation procedures are summarized. Examples are given for the refrigerants R134a and R152a.
