This feature makes it necessary lubricating oil, specially selected for each application. Some die more important properties that should be considered when selecting a compressor lubricating oils:
- Viscosity
- Pour point
- Floe point
- Chemical stability
- Dielectric strength
- Compatibility
When evaluating these properties to determine the suitability of oil for a particular application, the following factors should be taken into account:
- the type and construction of compressor
- characteristics of the refrigerant used
- evaporator temperature
- discharge temperatures of the compressor
