1 Answers
The functions of refrigeration oil are: 1. To lubricate the compressor during operation, reducing friction and wear; 2. To provide sealing between the piston and cylinder wall, as well as between various rotating bearings in the compressor; 3. To carry away the heat generated during operation when lubricating various moving parts in the compressor, keeping these components at a lower temperature; 4. To utilize the oil pressure of the refrigeration oil as the power source for energy regulation mechanisms. The oil used for lubricating moving parts in refrigeration compressors is called refrigeration oil, also known as compressor oil or refrigeration lubricating oil.
