R290 as a substitute of R502 and R22 in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning.

Summary

The performances of R290 in comparison with R22 are presented, from the theoretical as well as from experimental point of view. The influence of R290 on compressor reliability has been also evaluated analyzing the bearing load and considering both the material compatibility and the oil solubility; the lower operating temperature has a positive impact on compressor reliability. Some considerations on safety are also presented.
