R134a Properties Calculation Guide

The document provides examples of using an Excel add-in to calculate refrigerant properties from input parameters of pressure and entropy. It gives examples calculating properties in SI and English units for R134a and shows calling the add-in directly from a cell. The add-in is needed to return the property results for pressure, temperature, density and other refrigerant properties.
