Abstract
Hydrofluoroalkane propellants HFA134a and HFA227ea are being phased down under the Kigali amendment due to their high global warming potential. Propellants HFA152a and HFO1234ze(E) have been proposed as potential alternatives for pressurised metered dose inhalers (pMDIs). Knowledge of the fundamental thermodynamic properties of these alternative propellants is essential to predict and optimise device performance. The vapor pressure of low-GWP propellant binary mixtures with ethanol for use in solution formulations are presently not available in the literature. In this paper, the saturated vapor pressures of HFA152a and HFO1234ze(E) have been measured using a constant-volume technique. For temperatures below 45°C the relative deviations of vapor pressures of HFA152a and HFO1234ze(E) are below 5% and 3.5% as compared with REFPROP10.0, respectively. We show the vapor pressure dependency on ethanol cosolvent concentration for HFA152a and HFO1234ze(E) at a concentration of 8% w/w.
