Liquid refrigerant migration control by using an oil heater and its effects on mixture miscibility and viscosity.

Author(s) : CHEN W., ZHU R., WU Y.

Summary

The solubility of fluorinated refrigerants in lubrication oil affects not only the stability performance of vapour compression refrigeration system, but also the safety control of start-up. It can cause oil foaming and reduction of viscosity, resulting in liquid slugging and improper lubrication. To avoid the deleterious effects, an oil heater is often used. In the paper, the effects of heater power on miscibility and viscosity of refrigerant/oil mixture were calculated.
