Reliability study of compressor for room air conditioners using HFC based refrigerant.

Summary

Main candidates of alternative refrigerant for HCFC-22 used in air conditioning system are HFC based blended refrigerants. Especially R407C and R410A are researched with first priority by many compressor and air conditioner manufacturers. HFC based refrigerants have disadvantage in lubrication because of their molecule composition and the authors estimated them from tribological point of view. As a result, they have found several possible modifications for lubricant and materials to maintain the reliability of compressors used in the HFC based refrigerant system.
