Selecting HFO, R-1234yf Service 润滑剂
The current European aftermarket is being serviced by a limited range of commercially available lubricants which are promoted as being suitable for R1234yf refrigerant-based systems. Are these lubricants able to meet the chemical compatibility and miscibility requirements for long-term system operation when used in R1234yf systems?

润滑剂 for Compressor Bearing Designs
This paper discusses the process to evaluate lubricants for various types of compressors and bearing design with a focus on what’s needed for current refrigerant trends. In addition, the paper shows how the lubricant chemistry choice can be manipulated through an understanding of the bearing design and knowledge of interaction with the refrigerant to maximize performance. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of synthetic lubricants for both natural and synthetic low GWP refrigerants.

Opening the 润滑剂 Toolbox
This paper focuses on the various types of lubricant chemistries available for use in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry and markets. Why some lubricants are used, while others are not used and while some lubricants are impractical. Various tools, techniques, and computer-assisted programs are outlined that are useful when evaluating lubricant and refrigerant interaction properties. A few key examples of refrigerants particular to current lower global warming potential reduction efforts are investigated and what systematic approach can be used to make sure we don’t exclude potential lubricant candidates as viable options.

Evaluation of 润滑剂 Properties and Refrigerant Interaction
This paper looks at what current parameters are valued for a refrigeration lubricant, how these parameters are measured, and why they are important. A focus is put on looking at what is needed to be successful with next-generation low GWP refrigerants and some examples of lubricant candidates for various low GWP refrigerants. Studies are shown that investigate how we make evaluations and how some of the current approaches need to be revisited.
