Physical Properties of Alternatives to the Fully Halogenated Chlorofluorocarbons

Published

Author(s)

Mark O. McLinden

Abstract

The properties of nine halogenated hydrocarbons are collected from a variety of sources, including unpublished data. These data are evaluated and correlated. Considered are the triple point, normal boiling point, and critical point parameters and the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure, saturated liquid density, solubility in water, and hydrolysis rates. The fluids, which are potential alternatives to the fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, are R125, R22, R134a, R152a, R124, R142b, R123 and R141b; also included is the solvent methyl chloroform.
