Specificity of the lubricating oil operation in the refrigeration compressors

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2010, Vol 231, Issue 3

Abstract

Generally, in compressor refrigeration systems, compressor oil mixes with refrigerant. This deteriorates the thermodynamic properties of the refrigerant and protective (tribological) properties of lubricating oil.<br/><br/>This paper presents the oil-operating environment in refrigeration compressors as well as reasons for compressor element damages arising mostly in the effect of unfavourable properties of oil contaminated with refrigerant.<br/><br/>
