Azeotrope of HFC125 and HFC143a as an alternative for R502.

Author(s) : HUGHES H. M.

Summary

R502 has been the primary refrigerant for low temperature commercial refrigeration applications for many years. The impending phase-out of CFCs dictates its elimination in the very near future. The identification of alternative(s) for R502 therefore becomes a high priority. The paper addresses the factors to be evaluated in selecting the best replacement and identifies an azeotropic mixture of R125 and R143a as a leading candidate which satisfies the selection criteria.
