Title: Solubility, viscosity and density of refrigerant/lubricant mixtures. Quarterly technical progress report, 1 October--31 December 1992

Abstract

This report presents results on low refrigerant concentration (70, 80, 90, and 100 weight percent lubricant) mixtures of the following fluids: CFC-12/ISO 32 naphthenic mineral oil; HCFC-22/ISO 32 naphthenic mineral oil; and HFC-134a/ISO 32 pentaerythritol ester mixed acid. These data have been reduced to engineering form and are presented in the form of a Daniel Chart. Scatter diagrams are given for the first fluid listed above, with the intent of illustrating the quality of data as well as providing the rationale for selecting the particular functional forms chosen to represent the experimental data. Equations are given along with statistical measures of goodness of fit.

  • This report presents the results of experimental measurements on low refrigerant concentration mixtures (0, 10, 20 and 30 weight percent) and high refrigerant concentration mixtures (80, 90 and 100 weight percent) of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) 12, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC`s) 22, 123, 124 and 142b, and hydrofluorocarbons (BFC`s) 134a, 32, 125, 152a and 143a with mineral oil, alkylbenzene, polyalkylene glycol and polyolester lubricants. Viscosity, solubility (vapor pressure) and density data are reported for thirty five working fluids which are selected combinations of these refrigerants and companion lubricants. These data, reduced to engineering form, are presented in the form of a Daniel Chart andmore » a plot of density versus temperature and composition. Extensive numerical analysis has been performed in order to derive equations which allow two independent variables (temperature and composition) and to provide for corrections in composition due to vapor space volume in the test apparatus.« less

  • This report presents the results of experimental measurements on low refrigerant concentration mixtures (0, 10, 20,30 wt %) of twelve working fluids. These data have been reduced to engineering form and are presented in the form of a Daniel Chart and a plot of density versus temperature and composition. Extensive numerical analysis has been performed in order to derive equations which allow two independent variables (temperature and composition) and to provide for corrections in composition due to vapor space volume in the test apparatus; details of these calculations are provided in Appendix A. This report supersedes all previous reports.

  • As the result of a thorough literature search and consultation with manufacturers of compressors, a specimen testing program is proposed to simulate specific contacts in components of compressors. Specimen testing will be conducted using a high pressure tribometer. Specific components to be simulated, with their approximate operating and environmental conditions, are identified. A list of references, related to compressors lubrication, friction and wear, is given in the Appendix.
