Sealed tube comparisons of the compatibility of desiccants with refrigerants and lubricants. Final report.

Author(s) : ARTI, FIELD J. E.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

Using bench scale test methods, generally accepted throughout the industry today, the report provides data necessary to assess the compatibility of virtually all of the currently used desiccant types with thirteen refrigerant/lubricant combinations. The desiccants have been tested by exposure to refrigerant and lubricant in sealed, glass tubes in accordance with ASHRAE/ANSI Standard 97-1989. After aging, the liquid phase was evaluated for acid anion formation, change in colour, and presence of halide ions. The gas phase was analyzed for refrigerant decomposition by gas chromatography, and the desiccants were evaluated for changes in crush strength and for retention of acids and halide ions.
