Abstract

Viscosity measurements were carried out on saturated liquid fluorocarbon refrigerants using an improved capillary viscometer for 11 kinds of fluorocarbon refrigerants; CCl3F (R11), CCl2F2 (R12), CHClF2 (R22), CBrF3 (R13B1), CH3CHF2 (R152a), CCl2FCClF2 (R113), CHCl2CF3 (R123), CHClFCClF2 (R123a), CH3CF3 (R143a), CClF2CCl2F2 (R114), and CH2FCF3 (R134a), in the temperature range from 273 to 353 K. An equation is given to represent the viscosity as a function of temperature.
