R449A

 

R449A (also known as Opteon XP40) is a zeotropic mixture consisting of 24.3 weight% R32, 24.7% R125, 25.3% R1234yf and 25.7% R134a.  It has a molar mass of 87.2 kg/kmol.   R449A exhibits a temperature glide between saturated liquid and vapor. It has been modeled as a pseudo-pure fluid based in the manner described by

The model provided by EES was generated by fitting mixture data from the REFPROP program and from the manufacturer's website to a fundamental equation of state with separate correlations for the bubble and dew point pressures.  The model is applicable for temperatures between 180 K and 440 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 were fitted to data provided by the manufacturer's  website.   Transport properties for gaseous R449A are available for temperatures between 220 K and 450 K.  Liquid phase properties are available for temperatures between 233 and 350 K.
