Liquid/liquid miscibilities of four different 32 ISO VG polyolesters and one alkylbenzene at three concentrations have been determined with five refrigerant blends, including HC-290. A vapor lubricant equilibrium (VLE) viscosity reduction of 32 ISO VG mineral oil with HCFC-22 has been completed. Composite viscosity reduction information by the fractionate components from R-502 in 32 ISO VG mineral oil has been obtained from {minus}10{degree}C (14{degree}F) to 125{degree}C (257{degree}F) isotherms. Vapor lubricant equilibrium (VLE) viscosity reduction for 32 ISO VG mixed acid polyolester with HFC-134a and HFC-143a has also been completed. Data is also presented for the viscosity reduction of 32 ISO VG branched acid polyolester by these same refrigerants.
