[9] Notes on Refrigerating Machine Oil
1. Refrigerating machine oil in the HFC refrigerant system
HFC type refrigerants use a refrigerating machine oil different from that used in the R22 system.
Note that the ester oil used in the system has properties that are different from commercially available ester oil.
2. Effects of contaminants
*1
Refrigerating machine oil used in the HFC system must be handled with special care to keep contaminants out.
The table below shows the effect of contaminants in the refrigerating machine oil on the refrigeration cycle.
3. The effects of contaminants in the refrigerating machine oil on the refrigeration cycle.
