Refrigerant property relationships

Latent heat

hfg = hg - hf

Cooling effect uses enthalpy difference

Saturation state

Tsat corresponds to Psat

At saturation, liquid and vapor can coexist

R134A saturation properties are used for quick cycle checks, evaporator and condenser estimates, pressure-temperature checks, and troubleshooting. Always verify final design values against manufacturer data and applicable refrigerant standards.

Reference

What the R134A values mean

Saturation pressure

The pressure at which R134A boils or condenses at the selected saturation temperature.

Liquid enthalpy

hf is the energy content of saturated liquid refrigerant at the saturation point.

Vapor enthalpy

hg is the energy content of saturated vapor refrigerant at the saturation point.

Specific volume

vg helps estimate vapor volume flow and compressor displacement requirements.
