Various performances of polyvinylether (PVE) lubricant with HFC refrigerants.

Author(s) : TOMINAGA S., TAZAKI T., HARA S.

Summary

Polyvinylether (PVE) was introduced as an innovative refrigeration oil for HFC refrigerant systems. The characteristics of PVE are its non-hydrolytic nature, superior lubricity, solubility with process fluids and miscibility with HFC refrigerants. These performances directly or indirectly contribute to the total cost down of systems. For example, most PVE users do not use filter dryers in HFC air conditioners but instead control equilibrium water in systems to less than a few hundred ppm. By confirming these advantages through numerous actual machine tests, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide have begun to use PVE for commercial production.
