Summary

A new model – Pseudo Ideal Solution Model (PISM) – was developed to determine viscosity and solubility of lubricant-refrigerant mixture, using concepts from lattice model in liquid state, reaction rate theory for viscosity, and local composition theory. The computing results from our new model showed high degree of accuracy, and are comparable to the results from NRTL model and Flory-Huggins model. Various type of POE lubricants (viscosity ranges from 68~220cst) in R134a refrigerant have been fitted for the new model to describe the viscosity and pressure of binary systems. The tests were conducted in temperature ranging from 0°C to 100°C. Typical average absolute deviation (AAD%) of these calculation results in the model is between 1.0~3.5%.
