The “CO2_box” is an experimental facility composed by two apparatuses: 1) a phase equilibrium test rig based on a sapphire cell used to perform vapour-liquid equilibrium measurements. 2) a single phase test rig based on a vibrating tube densimeter, which provides single-phase pressure-density-temperature (p, r, T) measurements. The basic equipment has been designed and manufactured in collaboration with “ARMINES, Centre of Thermodynamics and Processes”, established at MINES ParisTech. The phase equilibrium test rig enables the measurement of Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) thermodynamic properties (P, T, x, y) of different fluids based on CO2, N2, O2, CO, H2S, SO2, Ar, CH3OH, Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) working fluids and refrigerants. Operating conditions range respectively from 213 K to 473 K and from 1-20 MPa. The apparatus is based on a static-analytical method, therefore coexisting phases remain inside the cell during measurements (static method) and compositions of both liquid and vapour phases are determined by sampling and then by analysing them (analytical method) through a gas chromatograph (GC) . The VLE apparatus, shown in Figure 1 (c), consists of a measurement circuit and two systems for loading, respectively, liquid and gaseous components in the equilibrium cell. In particular, the measurement circuit is composed by: - pressure and temperature measurement devices; - a cell in which vapour and liquid phases of the mixture are in equilibrium; - a sampling device for withdrawing vapour and liquid samples from the cell; - a gas chromatograph for measuring samples composition; - a thermostatic bath that controls temperature of the equilibrium cell. The PvT apparatus (Figure 1, “a”) allows to carry out simultaneous measurements of density, pressure and temperature in order to evaluate the volumetric behavior of a single phase fluid (pure substance or mixture). Temperature measurements in a range of 263.15 – 423.15 K are provided by calibrated probes (±0.05 K estimated uncertainty), meanwhile pressure measurements are recorded by two sensors within a pressure operating envelope of 1-20 MPa. The equipment also includes a vibrating tube densimeter, whose vibrating periods are converted to density values by means of the forced path mechanical calibration model proposed by Richon and Bouchot (uncertainty on vibrating period equal to 10-8 s). Set-point temperature is kept constant inside the vibrating tube densimeter and inside the measurement circuit by means of two thermoregulated baths.
