In this review, a set of 44 experimental studies on the thermophysical properties of the promising ozone-safe refrigerant R1234yf are considered. Based on the experimental data, the following properties are found to be necessary when using the refrigerant: saturation pressure, saturated vapor density, p–v–t dependence, isobaric heat capacity, isochoric heat capacity, isobaric heat capacity of an ideal gas, sound velocity, dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity, surface tension, and thermal conductivity. In addition, the published measurement errors are specified. Furthermore, a list of computational modeling studies on the thermodynamic properties of the refrigerant R1234yf with an indication of the type of equation of state used is presented. The contributions of Russian scientists to the development of this field are also described. This review increases the efficiency of the information search on the properties of R1234yf and their modeling. Finally, conclusions are drawn regarding the completeness of the information based on experiments and the extent of possibilities of the current modeling methods for the properties of the refrigerant under consideration.
