Lubricants for lower GWP refrigerants
Lower GWP refrigerants need specific lubricants to grant the efficiency of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This would extend the systems’ lifespan, reduce their energy consumption, and contribute to the sustainability of our industry.

Session description
Scientists warned us: the climate crisis is here, and now we are seeing for ourselves by facing new and unpredictable challenges.
As HVAC/R experts, we must do whatever it takes to reduce the environmental impact of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, sharing our know-how, collaborating, and changing our mindset for the better. The transition to lower GWP refrigerants, such as R-744 (CO2), hydrocarbons (R-600 or R-290), HFOs and their blends, and R-717 (Ammonia), indeed, is one of the most widely adopted solutions to decrease the direct emissions of the systems.
Even though this represents a huge step forward, we should consider that those kinds of refrigerants can often cause problems in the syste ...
