Abstract
The thermal conductivity of four gaseous fluorocarbon refrigerants has been measured by a vertical coaxial cylinder apparatus on a relative basis. The fluorocarbon refrigerants used and the ranges of temperature and pressure covered are as follows: R 12 (Dichlorodifluoromethane CCl2F2): 298.15–393.15 K, 0.1–4.28 MPa R 13 (Chlorotrifluoromethane CClF3): 283.15–373.15 K, 0.1–6.96 MPa R 22 (Chlorodifluoromethane CHClF2): 298.15–393.15 K, 0.1–5.76 MPa R 23 (Trifluoromethane CHF3): 283.15–373.15 K, 0.1–6.96 MPa
The apparatus was calibrated using Ar, N2, and CO2 as the standard gases. The uncertainty of the experimental data is estimated to be within 2%, except in the critical region. The behavior of the thermal conductivity for these fluorocarbons is quite similar; thermal conductivity increases with increasing pressure. The temperature coefficient of thermal conductivity at constant pressure, (∂λ/∂T) p , is positive at low pressures and becomes negative at high pressures. Therefore, the thermal conductivity isotherms of each refrigerant intersect each other in a specific range of pressure. A steep enhancement of thermal conductivity is observed near the critical point. The experimental results are statistically analyzed and the thermal conductivities are expressed as functions of temperature and pressure and of temperature and density.
