Effects of water in synthetic lubricant systems and clathrate formation: a literature search and review. Final report.

Author(s) : ROHATGI N. D. T.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by ARTI under its "HVAC&R Research for the 21st Century Program". It compiles and critically evaluates the current state of knowledge of the effects of water on the stability of HFC/synthetic lubricant systems to identify key areas requiring further investigation. An extensive literature search was conducted and a confidential survey was prepared and sent to compressor, lubricant, desiccant and filter-drier manufacturers to determine the industry specifications on the amount of water allowable in the HFC/synthetic lubricant systems. Extract from the table of contents: clathrate formation and decomposition in HFC-water systems; water in refrigerant and lubricant systems; effect of water on construction materials in refrigeration systems.
