Global InformationPolyolester information
Polyolester oil (POE oil) is a type of wax-free synthetic oils used in refrigeration compressors that is compatible with the refrigerants R-134a, R-410A, and R-12.[1] POE oils are used as a lubricant in systems using the refrigerant HFC-134a when replacing CFC-12, as these systems traditionally use mineral oil,[2] which HFC-134a does not mix well with.[3] These oils are used with chlorine-free hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigeration systems, as they provide better lubrication and stability and are more miscible with HFC refrigerants compared to synthetic and mineral oils of similar application.[4] The dispersion behavior of POE oils has been studied for applications in nanotechnology.[5]
