A detailed literature search of the available thermodynamic data of proposed refrigerant/absorbent pairs and measurement of those data that are unmeasured or unreliable are reported. The data to be obtained for the pure fluids included: the critical temperature, pressure and volume; the vapor pressure curve; the latent heat of vaporization at the normal boiling point; the freezing point; the specific heat of the liquid and vapor; and the specific volumes of the saturated liquids and vapors. For the fluid mixtures, the data included the dew point and bubble point at four specified pressures plus the heats of mixing and specific heat at several solution compositions. Pure fluids surveyed included: ammonia, methylamine, ethylamine, chlorodifluoromethane (R-22), fluorodichloromethane (R-21), ethylene glycol, 1,4-Butanediol, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DGDE), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), N,N-dimethylhexanamide (DMH), N,N-dimethyldecanamide (DMD). Binary fluid mixtures surveyed included: ammonia/ethylene glycol; ammonia/1,4-butanediol; methylamine/ethylene glycol; methylamine/1,4-butanediol; ethylamine/ethylene glycol; ethylamine/1,4-butanediol; and R-22/ DGDE.
