Predicting lubricant performance in refrigerant compressors: a comparison between component testing and bench testers.

Author(s) : YOON H. K., POPPE C. H., CUSANO C.

Summary

To identify the relative effectiveness of various benchtesters for screening lubricants for refrigerant compressors, a comparison is made between the wear data obtained from the high-pressure tribometer, four-ball and pinblock testers, and those obtained from accelerated component (compressor) tests. Based on these data, the rankings of the lubricants obtained from the various testers are compared to the ranking of the same lubricants obtained from the component tests.
