Abstract

This review examines the stability of PAG, POE, and PVE oils used in refrigeration system compressors, along with their interactions with low- and ultra-low-GWP refrigerants. Key findings reveal minimal degradation and strong compatibility under standard conditions. Following ASHRAE 97 standards, the study highlights the necessity of long-term stability evaluations and advocates for further research into lubricant additives, refrigerant interactions, and metal components to improve system reliability.
