Experimental study on HFC-161 mixture as an alternative refrigerant to R502

Vapor–liquid equilibria of fluoroethane (HFC-161)+2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (HFO-1234yf)

“…These results were in a good agreement with the calculated results from REFPROP 9.0 [23] with average deviations of 0.04% and 0.05%, respectively.…”

“…HFC-161 has a lager latent heat, a very low GWP of 12, zero ODP, and a short atmospheric lifetime of 0.18 years [22]. It has been adopted as a component in some mixtures for refrigeration applications [23]. Thus, the mixture refrigerant HFC-161 + HFO-1234yf can be a promising alternative refrigerant with environmentally friendly properties.…”

Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium data for the binary mixture difluoromethane (HFC-32)+ethyl fluoride (HFC-161) over a temperature range from 253.15K to 303.15K

“…The most promising alternatives are mixtures of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which offer the possibility of matching several key thermodynamic properties of conventional HCFCs. There is a great deal of interest in binary and ternary refrigerant blends based on the hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant HFC-161 [1][2][3] due to its excellent thermodynamic performances and environmental characteristics. Though HFC-161 is flammable, the blended refrigerant based on it can be chosen to match the properties of corresponding traditional refrigerants to be replaced.…”

A review on recent developments in new refrigerant mixtures for vapour compression-based refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump units

“…Xuan et al [42] experimented with near-azeotropic ternary mixture composed of R161/R125/R143a (in the ratio of 10:45:45, by mass percentage). During their experimentation, the operating temperatures were maintained at 43 and 351C (condenser temperature) and À23 and À351C (evaporator temperature).…”
