`
`Refrigeration Oils for Future Mobile A/C Systems:
`Conclusion
`
`C02:
`The necessary requirements for the refrigeration oil - adequate
`
`refrigerant miscibility, high thermal stability and enhanced wear
`protection (at mixed friction conditions) — can be fulfilled with newly
`
`developed PAG—based refrigeration oils that contain an effective
`antiwear and antioxidant additive system.
`
`HFO—1234yf:
`
`PAG and POE lubricants exhibit different refrigerant miscibility
`
`behaviour. POE has a smaller miscility gap than PAG. The chemical
`
`stability of both systems POE and PAG can be improved by
`choosing a suitable stabilizing additivation of the refrigeration oil.
`
`The lubrication properties of PAG / HFO-12234yf are currently under
`investigation.
