Recent advances in the study of refrigerant and lubricant oil solubility have significantly enhanced our understanding of the interactions between low molecular weight refrigerant molecules and the ...

The HVACR industry is currently undergoing another significant refrigerant transition. In contrast to the prior transition from nonflammable (A1) HCFCs like R-22 to also nonflammable HFCs, notably ...

As the heart of a refrigeration system, the compressor is a vapor pump that creates the system’s required pressure differences between the low and high sides of the system. In addition, it raises the ...

Oil fouling is a well-known issue in all refrigeration equipment, including transport refrigeration units (TRUs). This gradual buildup of compressor lubricating oil inside the walls of refrigerant ...
