Summary
Starting from January 1st 2011, as stated by the Directive 2006/40/EC, fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential (GWP) higher than 150 can not be used in automotive applications any more. For this reason, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R134a), commonly used for these applications, will be discarded and substituted by refrigerants with lower GWP. In recent times, a new fluid, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf) has been proposed as an interesting alternative, since it has a very low GWP and thermodynamic properties very similar to R134a. At the moment, only few data can be found on the thermodynamic properties of this new refrigerant and, in particular, its behaviour in solution with commonly used compressor lubricants is still to be evaluated. Here, solubility experimental data of R1234yf in a Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) commercial lubricant are measured with a static synthetic method at isothermal conditions, in the temperature range between 258 K and 338 K.
