The thermophysical properties and critical parameters for the alternative refrigerant (51 wt % of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane(R143a) + 49 wt % of pentafluoroethane (R125))-very close to the composition of R507 (50 wt % of eachmixture component)-were investigated using two different acoustic techniques. The critical behavior of the systemxCO2 + (1 - x)(51 wt % R143a + 49 wt % R125) was also investigated. Experimental data of speed of soundin liquid (51 wt % R143a + 49 wt % R125) from T = (253 to 338) K and pressures up to 65 MPa were measuredusing a pulse-echo method. Derived thermodynamic properties were calculated, combining our experimental datawith density and isobaric heat capacity values published by other authors. Measurements of the critical temperatureTc and pressure pc on (51 wt % R143a + 49 wt % R125) and mixtures of xCO2 + (1 - x)(51 wt % R143a + 49wt % R125) were performed using another simple ultrasonic time-delay technique. The binary critical line wasdetermined over the whole composition range showing that this system deviates only slightly from ideality sincethe critical line is a continuous line. The Peng-Robinson equation of state with conventional mixing and combiningparameters was used to correlate the binary experimental data.
