ShareThe development of lubricants for automotive air-conditioning systems.
Author(s) : BROWN W. L.
Summary
The lubricant is a critical component of an automotive air-conditioning system. Besides providing good lubricity, it must exhibit sufficient solubility in the refrigerant to ensure lubricant return to the compressor. Stability in the presence of the refrigerant, metals, and common contaminants such as air, water, and mineral oil is critical. The lubricant must also be compatible with the hoses and other elastomeric parts. The paper focuses on the development of polyalkylene glycol lubricants.
