R473A

 

R473A is a zeotropic mixture consisting of 60 weight% Carbon dioxide, 20% R1132(A),  10% R23 and 10% R125.   It is an A1 refrigerant with a low GWP.  It is a low temperature refrigerant designed as a replacement for R23 and R508A/B.   It has a molar mass of 52.58 kg/kmol

 

Property data for R473A are provided using a Helmholtz mixture model fitted by F-Chart Software using thermodynamic property data provided by the manufacturer (Koura Klea 473A) and generated by {html=REFPROP.  The model is applicable for temperatures between 190K and 600  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.
