Summary

With a boiling point of -89 °C, N2O is suitable as a very low-temperature refrigerant. Problems will occur with the oil as N2O promotes burning and conventional oils are not applicable. Successful attempts with a new oil are reported, making it possible to use N2O. Calculations show that the refrigerant does not present any disadvantages compared with conventional refrigerants.
