The vapor pressure and PVT properties in a superheated vapor and compressed liquid phase region of two environmentally acceptable hydrogen-containing halocarbons (HCFC123 and HFC134a) were determined experimentally. The measurements of vapor pressure and PVT properties were made using constant-volume method. Sixty-five vapor pressure points were obtained in the range of temperature of 314 K to critical temperature for HCFC123, and forty-one vapor pressure points were obtained in the range of temperature of 262K to critical temperature for HFC134a. Fifty-nine PVT data points were obtained in the range of temperature 352K to 484K, of pressure 0.5 to 5.2MPa and of density 29 to 1030 kg/m3. And sixty-three PVT data points, were obtained in the range of temperature 294K to 424K, of pressure 0.6 to 5.7MPa and of density 24 to 1101kg/m3. On the basis of these results, the critical pressure was determined to be 3.672MPa for HCFC123, and it was determined to be 4.055MPa for HFC134a. In addition, the equation of state and vapor pressure correlation were developed.
