R457A

 

R457A is an zeotropic mixture consisting of 70 weight% R1234yf, 18% R32, and 12% R152a.  It is considered to be a replacement fluid for R22.  It has a molar mass of 87.60 kg/kmol.

 

Property data for R457A are provided using a generalized equation of state fitted by F-Chart Software using thermodynamic property data generated by REFPROP.  The model is applicable for temperatures between 180 K and 420 K with pressures up to 20 MPa.  The reference state is saturated liquid at 0 C for which specific enthalpy and entropy are 200 kJ/kg and 1.0 kJ/kg-K, respectively.

The correlation are valid over the same range of temperature as the equation of state.

 

Surface tension data were fit to data obtained from the REFPROP.
