Abstract

Trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) is considered as a promising refrigerant alternative, especially as a component in mixtures, to replace CFC-12. But reliable thermophysical property data for CF3I are still limited. The investigations on thermophysical properties of CF3I developed by us are summarized in this paper. Experimental data of critical parameters, and the correlations of saturated liquid and vapor density, enthalpy of vaporization, vapor pressure, PVT properties, second virial coefficient, ideal-gas heat capacity, surface tension, viscosity and thermal conductivity are given in the present paper.
