Solubility of HFCs in pentaerythritol tetraalkyl esters
The solubilities of difluoromethane (HFC32), 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoroethane (HFC125), 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC134a), 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC143a) and 1,1-difluoroethane (HFC152a) in pentaerythritol tetranonanoate, pentaerythritol tetra-2-ethylbutanoate, and pentaerythritol tetra-2-ethylhexanoate have been measured at temperatures between 303 and 363 K and pressures between 0.07 and 2.1 MPa. Henry's constant and the activity coefficient for HFCs at infinite dilution were derived for measurements below 0.34 MPa. The measurements were made by an isochoric method with an uncertainty of <2% for Henry's constant and <3% at high pressure. Within the investigated temperature range, solubilities for HFCs in pentaerythritol tetraalkyl esters decrease in the following order: HFC152a > HFC134a > HFC32 > HFC125 > HFC143a. The experimental data have been correlated with a Flory-Huggins model with an extended temperature dependence, which is able to describe the data with a deviation from measured data of <2.7%.
