ShareRefrigeration lubricants: current practice and future development.
Author(s) : SHORT G. D., RAJEWSKI E., OBERLE J. E.
Summary
Manufacturers of refrigeration and air-conditioning compressors and systems have had to re-evaluate the requirements for lubricants. The HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerants that are replacing chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants have a different influence on lubricants which effect both compressor durability and system performance. Other types of refrigerants such as ammonia and hydrocarbons are also alternatives to CFCs, and new lubricants are being evaluated to improve performance in these systems. The paper provides an overview of several types of synthetic lubricants currently supported by equipment manufacturers. Practical examples are provided.
