Summary
The tribological characteristics of various lubricant/refrigerant mixtures for refrigerant compressors have been experimentally investigated by means of a unique high pressure tribometer. In order to identify more effective bench testers for screening lubricants for compressors, a comparison is made between data obtained from the high pressure tribometer, and those obtained from accelerated component (compressor) tests. The tests used R12 and R22 wih mineral oils, R22 with two alkylbenzenes, and R134a with 12 different ester lubricants.
