Summary

In the Netherlands, a consortium of scientific institutes and companies has started a NOVEM-funded project to compile physical data of natural working fluids, which include pure, mixed and secondary refrigerants. The information gathered contains data on thermodynamics (critical values, saturation properties, PVT functions), transport properties (e.g. viscosity, conductivity), heat transfer and pressure drop, and various types of information on the application (compatibility, safety). The information will be presented in a digital format to facilitate the engineering of refrigeration and heat pump systems. Generalised functions on all properties gathered will be available to use in computer programs. A ready-to-use cycle calculation will complete the comparison of the natural refrigerants available.
