2024-04-17 07:15:43 -0500 marked best answer Refrigerant Thermodynamic Properties Data

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for a tool or website where I can find thermodynamic properties data for refrigerants, aside from what's provided by EnergyPlus. Particularly R-455A or other environmentally friendly options used in refrigeration applications.

I've come across two websites, Climalife and Freon, but the data they offer doesn't include specific heat data for the saturated state. However, they do provide entropy data.

Or how to generate the properties using REFPROP, specifically for the FluidProperties:Superheated Object, where I am having some difficulties (see answer below).

Can anyone suggest alternative sources or solutions?

Thanks!
