R441A

 

R441A (also known as HCR 188C) is a mixture consisting of 3.1 weight% ethane, 54.8% propane, 6% isobutance and 36.1% n-butane.   It is an A3 refrigerant (not toxic, flammable).    It has a molar mass of 48.305 kg/kmol with GWP  and ODP of 0.  It is considered to be a replacement for R134a and R22.

 

Property data for R441A are provided using a Helmholtz mixture model fitted by F-Chart Software using thermodynamic property data generated by REFPROP.  The model is applicable for temperatures between 200 K 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.  

 

Transport properties are estimated using a corresponding states approach as suggested in:
