Polyolester lubricants for HFC refrigerants: a systematic protocol for additive selection.

Author(s) : VINCI J. N., DICK D. L.

Summary

The performance of synthetic polyolester lubricants can be greatly influenced by chemical additives. The paper explores the response of different types of chemical additives in appliance refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. The purpose will be to characterize additives effects on fluid load bearing capacity, overall thermal and hydrolytic stability, desiccant compatibility and capillary tube blockage tendencies. A systematic testing protocol for additive selection will be described. Factors which govern fluid stability and refrigeration system compatibility have been identified.
