Abstract

The pressure-density-temperature-composition (p-ρ-T-x) data of binary refrigerant mixtures containing R 134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane), R 1234yf (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene), and R 1234ze(E) (trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) were measured in both the vapor and liquid phases using a two-sinker, magnetic-suspension densimeter. The specific samples in this study comprised two compositions for each of the following three binary refrigerant blends: R 1234yf + R 134a, R 134a + R 1234ze(E), and R 1234yf + R 1234ze(E). Single-phase vapor densities were measured over a temperature range of (253 to 293) K. Single-phase liquid and supercritical densities were measured over a temperature range of (230 to 400) K and pressures up to 21 MPa; for refrigerant blends containing R 1234yf the maximum pressure was limited to approximately 12 MPa. Experimental data, including an assessment of the associated expanded uncertainties, have been reported. Additionally, measurement results were compared to available literature data and to existing equations of state and mixture models.
