Résumé

Today’s society is going through an expanding use of natural refrigerants, earlier present only in big industrial facilities. This has made necessary the charge reduction and compactness improvement of the equipment, to fit the safety measures and standards requirements. The refrigerant charge and the complexity of an ammonia refrigeration system are mainly because of flooded evaporators use and the need for an efficient oil separation system, since conventional lubricants and ammonia are immiscible. The use of ammonia miscible lubricants can address the oil separation problem. A Poly-Alkylene-Glycol (PAG) can be designed and formulated to be miscible with ammonia, and the plant operated like a conventional halocarbon refrigerant one. The circulating lubricant will be recovered through the compressor suction port of the compressor. This will help in the operation of Direct Expansion (DX) evaporators, reducing to a testimonial size the oil separation circuit.
