What oil is compatible with HFO-1234yf?
PAG oil
Four Seasons TEMP Select now offers a PAG oil that is 100% compatible with HFO-1234yf refrigerant.
Is pag 46 compatible with R1234yf?
Fully synthetic oil based on polyalkylene glycol (PAG). For lubricating, sealing and cooling sliding and rotating parts in the refrigerant compressors and refrigerant circuits in passenger and commercial vehicle air conditioning systems. Mixes very well with type R1234yf and R134a refrigerants.
Is 134a compatible with 1234yf?
yes R1234yf Freon gas can be replaced by R134a; the newer systems were designed with this in mind so no, there will be no damage to the compressor but some time in the future doing so may become illegal. >>
Which lubricant is compatible with refrigerant R 22 is?
The synthetic lubricants (such as polyglycol- or polysiloxane-based lubricants) are hydrophilic. Thus, they are not only miscible with R-22 and R134a; they are also partially or completely miscible with water.
What is the difference between PAG oil and POE oil?
Polyolester (POE) – the primarily synthetic oil for refrigeration systems using HFC refrigerants. Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) – a synthetic oil primarily used in R-134a automotive air conditioning systems. It is more hygroscopic that either POE or PVE oils, but it does not undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water.
What is PAG oil made of?
PAG is actually an acronym for Polyalkylene Glycol, and it is a synthetic oil used in A/C systems to lubricate the compressor. Most all newer model cars use PAG as the lubricant in the A/C system.
What kind of oil goes in AC compressor?
PAG is actually an acronym for Polyalkylene Glycol, and it is a synthetic oil used in A/C systems to lubricate the compressor. Most all newer model cars use PAG as the lubricant in the A/C system. When people refer to PAG oil they typically refer to it in the following terms: PAG 46, PAG 100, or PAG 150.
What type of oil do you use with R134a?
synthetic oil
Polyolester oil (POE oil) is a type of synthetic oil used in refrigeration compressors that is compatible with the refrigerants R-134a, R-410A and R-12.
Can you mix r134 and R-134a?
Maikal, when you say R-134a, it is the same chemical. So, whether you are adding it all from 1 manufacturer or from 5 different ones, it doesn’t matter.
Why is 1234yf refrigerant so expensive?
The problem we now have though is the price of 1234yf. Originally, we heard from the manufacturers that the price was so high due to development time and lack of resources to manufacture the product. But now, years have passed and fully functioning manufacturing plants have been opened.
What oil is used with R32 refrigerant?
From a viewpoint of refrigeration oil, it has been reported that the polyol ester (POE) oil and polyvinyl ether (PVE) oil, which are widely used as refrigeration oil for the present R410A, have insufficient miscibility with R32 (Ota and Araki, 2010).
What type of lubricants are HFO refrigerants miscible in?
Lubricants. HFOs are miscible in Polyolester (POE)-type lubricating oils. The miscibility of HFOs with POE lubricants is comparable to that of R-134a. HFOs are not soluble in mineral-oil or alkylbenzene lubricants.
What does r1234yf stand for in lubricants?
Much of the published work has been carried out in terms of R1234yf/lubricant stability by refrigerant producers (Spatz, 2009, among others), organizations (SAE through CRP-1234yf and JAMA, see for example Ikegami et al., 2008), research institutions (Grimm 2010, Bobbo et al. 2011), lubricants producers (Dixon, 2010) or MAC systems manufacturers.
Are there any lubricants that work with R134A oil?
According to the literature (very often presentations made by the producers) the new lubricants behave like R134a in the original oil blends in terms of thermal stability and solubility. Furthermore, the new lubricants are usually suitable also for R134a.
Which is hotter R134a or r1234yf?
R1234yf has a normal boiling temperature approximately 3.7 ºC lower than that of R134a. It has a GWP of 4 and is being widely considered as a possible replacement for R134a in automotive applications. Recently it is also under scrutiny as a component in blend with R32 for R410A replacement in stationary air – conditioners.
What causes olefinic bond splitting in r1234yf?
Dixon (2010) and Fujitaka et al. (2010) proposed two different possible mechanisms of chemical instability in R1234yf linked to the presence of –OH groups or initiator radicals, respectively. Both mechanisms lead to the olefinic bond splitting.
