An experimental investigation on flow characteristics of refrigerant/oil mixture in vertical upward flow.

Author(s) : HWANG Y., LEE J. P., RADERMACHER R., et al.

Summary

The paper describes a test method to estimate the mean oil film thickness and to observe the flow pattern in vertical upward flow in a R134a suction line. Three kinds of oils (mineral, two alkylbenzenes) have been tested with R134a in this facility. The results show an upward net oil flow for all oils investigated regardless of the miscibility between refrigerant and oil.
