The lubricants tested in this project were chosen based on results of liquid/liquid miscibility tests. A 32 ISO VG mixed acid polyolester and a 32 ISO VG branched acid polyolester were selected. Their vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) viscosity reduction was measured with two different blends: HFC-125/143a/134a (44/52/4% w/w), and HFC-125/143a (50/50% w/w). In addition, measurements were made with HFC-134a and HFC-143a, two of the single refrigerants that make up the tested blends.
