The Refrigerant Library lists every refrigerant Kelvin holds in one ledger, with each one's data sheet. It's read-only.
- 1
Type a code, name or formula in the search box at the top of the ledger. Type narrows it to one kind of refrigerant, and Active only hides inactive records.
- 2
Choose a column heading to sort by it, and again to reverse it. Codes sort in R-number order, and a missing value sorts last.
- 3
Choose a refrigerant's code to open its data sheet.
- 4
Close the sheet with its close button or Escape. In the ledger, the up and down arrow keys move from one code to the next.
What the ledger shows
Each row gives the code, name, type, safety class, GWP, ODP, normal boiling point (NBP), glide and critical temperature. For a blend with a recorded bubble and dew point, the NBP column shows bubble / dew and sorts by the bubble point.
The data sheet
Identity, Thermodynamic, Environmental and Safety hold every property the record has, each with its unit. Figures are shown as stored, not converted or rounded away, and a missing value reads as a dash, never zero. GWP carries its band, ≤ 150, 151–1000 or > 1000, spelled out beside the figure.
Some figures carry a note on their condition. The normal boiling point is at 1 atm. A bubble or dew point is taken as 1 atm, because its pressure isn't recorded. Latent heat and the specific heats say their condition isn't recorded.
Where the figures come from
Provenance, at the foot of the data sheet, states where the record's figures come from, and says so plainly where a figure carries no citation or its basis isn't recorded. The public refrigerant tables are worked out separately, with CoolProp, and cite the source of every GWP, ODP and safety class they print.
How a design uses it
A design's refrigerant is chosen on Cycle. The Cycle station and its report state which property data solved the cycle: saturation tables where Kelvin holds them for that refrigerant, or, for one without, a simplified model built from this library's stored properties.
