Effect of lubricating oil contamination on condensation in refrigerant R22.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Notes that in any vapour-compression heat pump or refrigerator, some of the compressor lubricating oil is carried through the condenser and the evaporator. This oil affects the thermodynamic cycle and the behaviour of the refrigerant and mainly the refrigerant-side heat transfer. Describes experiments to determine the magnitude of this effect for convective condensation of R22 in horizontal tubes.
