HIGH-PRESSURE VAPOR-LIQUID-EQUILIBRIA FOR THE HFC125-HFC152A SYSTEM

We measured vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) for the system of pentafluor oethane (HFC125)-difluoroethane (HFC152a) over the temperature range f rom 268.15 K to 373.15 K. Fitting VLE data obtained to an extended BWR equation of state, binary interaction parameters were correlated as a linear function of temperature. Applying the equation of state includ ing the binary interaction parameters to refrigeration cycle, estimati on of coefficient of performance (COP) revealed about 13.3 % energy-sa ving against chlorodinfluoromethane (HCFC22), when the mole fraction o f HFC125 is 0.44. As the condition of COP estimation, we assumed that temperature changes of out-side fluids were from 285.15 down to 280.15 K and 305.15 up to 310.15 K with 3 K in minimum temperature differenc e, respectively.
