Measurements of the bubble-point pressures and the liquid densities of the binary difluoromethane + 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R-32 + R-143a) and the ternary difluoromethane + pentafluoroethane + 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R-32 + R-125 + R-143a) refrigerant mixtures at temperatures from 280 to 320 K in 10 K intervals are reported. The experimental apparatus used in the measurement is a magnetic densimeter coupled with a variable volume cell. The estimated uncertainties are {plus{underscore}minus}12 mK in temperature, {plus{underscore}minus}10 kPa in pressure, and {plus{underscore}minus}0.2% in density, whereas the uncertainty in the determined composition of mixture is estimated to be {plus{underscore}minus}0.3 mass %. On the basis of the measured bubble-point pressures, the optimization of the binary interaction parameter of the Peng-Robinson equation, which reproduces the available data within {plus{underscore}minus}1%, is discussed. Empirical correlations for the saturated-liquid and compressed-liquid densities of mixture composed of R-32, R-125, and R-143a with an accuracy within {plus{underscore}minus}0.3% are also developed.
