Influence of oil-refrigerant solubility on the performance of rotary compressors.

Summary

The study tries to determine the influence of oil-refrigerant solubility on the performance of refrigerant compressors. Flow rate and compression power of a rotary compressor were measured with four kinds of oil having different refrigerant solubilities. As a result, volumetric efficiency and total efficiency of the compressor were higher in the case of the oil having low solubility than in the case of the oil having high solubility at low speed operation of the compressor.
