R472A

 

R472A is a zeotropic mixture consisting of 69 weight% CarbonDioxide, 12% R32, and 19%R134a.   It is an A1 refrigerant suitable for ultra-low temperature systems and is considered to be a replacement fluid for R23.  It has a molar mass of 50.385 kg/kmol.

 

Property data for R472A 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 640 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:
