Thermal-conductivity measurements are reported for the new refrigerants R134a, R152a und R123. Transient hot-wire experiments were performed which cover both the liquid and vapor states at temperatures and pressures ranging from [theta] = [minus]20[degrees]C to 90[degrees]C and from p = O.1 bar to 60 bar respectively. The results are correlated with density and temperature. In addition temperature dependent correlations are presented for (1) saturated liquid, (2) saturated vapor, (3) ideal gas (which equals approximately vapor state at ambient pressure). Finally the results are compared with data from the literature and also with the thermal conductivities of R12 and R11. 35 refs., 14 figs., 8 tab.
