Vapor–liquid equilibrium data for the carbon dioxide (CO2) + difluoromethane (R32) system at temperatures from 283.12 to 343.25 K and pressures up to 7.46 MPa

Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data have been measured for the binary system carbon dioxide (CO2)+difluoromethane(R32) at eight temperatures between 283.12 and 343.25 K, and at pressures in the range 1.11–7.46 MPa. The experimental method used in this work is of the static-analytic type, taking advantage of two pneumatic capillary samplers (Rolsi™, Armines’ Patent) developed in the Cenerg/TEP laboratory. The data were obtained with uncertainties within ±0.02 K, ±0.002 MPa, and ±1% for molar compositions. The isothermal P, x, and y data are well represented with the Peng–Robinson equation of state (PR EoS) using the Mathias Copeman alpha function and the Wong–Sandler mixing rules involving the NRTL model.
