Various performances of polyvinylether (PVE) lubricants 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: non-hydrolytic nature, superior lubricating properties, solubility with process fluid 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 for HFC air conditioners by controlling equilibrium water in systems to less than a few hundred ppm. By confirming these advantages through numerous actual machine tests, OEMs worldwide have begun to use PVE for commercial production.
