R430A

 

R430A is a zeotropic mixture consisting of 76 weight% R152a and 24% isobutane.   It is an A2L refrigerant (mildly flammable).    It has a molar mass of 63.96 kg/kmol with GWP of 108. It is considered to be a replacement for R134a.

 

Property data for R430A 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 190 K and 500 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:
