Improving hydrolytic stability of POE lubricants by the addition of acid catchers.

Author(s) : FINKENSTADT W. R., MULAY A.

Summary

The kinetic and thermodynamics of the reaction of acid catcher (AC) with acid and the reaction of POE with water to form acids are determined. The data obtained will be used to model the reaction of POE, AC and water in a refrigeration system. The parameters obtained from the study will be used to model reactions in a refrigeration system. The study illustrates the use of AC to improve the hydrolytic stability of ester lubricants containing both branched and linear type of acids.
