Abstract

The presence of the lubricant POE 68 in the refrigeration system changes the thermophysical properties of the refrigerant, which significantly affects the heat transfer and the hydraulic processes. The purpose of this research is to investigate the thermodynamic properties of the R152a, R125, R134a and R123 refrigerant and POE 68 lubricant mixtures at different temperatures from 233,15 to 313,15 K. There have been investigated the values of the densities and kinematic viscosities of the mixtures at different concentrations (100%, 90%, 80%). Finally, it was found that, the density and kinematic viscosity of the R123/POE 68 mixture were most affected by the change of the concentration.
