Development of polyvinylether refrigeration oil for hydrofluorocarbon air-conditioning systems.

Summary

Polyolester (POE) poses capillary tube blockage problems when it is used as an air-conditioner refrigeration oil. A polyvinylether (PVE) oil has been developed to settle such problems. The causes of blockage were determined by analyzing capillary tubes after testing them with PVE and POE in the laboratory and in actual equipment. PVE was confirmed to have superior performance over POE with respect to resistance of capillary tube blockage.
