Seven oil immersion studies were completed at both 20 and 60C. Test bars used in this study fall within the manufacturer specification limits of physical consistency and integrity. Refrigerant Immersion studies at ambient and 60C are also complete. Equilibrium refrigerant gas solubilities of the 32 ISO VG branched acid polyolester with all ten refrigerants have been determined and completed at 20C. Finally, the thermal aging of plastics at constant refrigerant pressure exposure with seventeen refrigerant lubricant combinations have been completed.
