Summary

In this article the results of a number of tests using a series of hermetic reciprocating compressors of different sizes are described. Compressors with different geometries and a wide range of capacities were tested with propane as refrigerant and polyester oil, typically used with HFCs, instead of the more common mineral oil. These results were systematically compared with R407C.
