The refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) market is rapidly changing in response to environmental regulations aimed at reducing ozone depletion and climate change. As a result, natural refrigerants are being introduced across a wide range of systems, creating the need for effective lubricants to suit these applications.

To help the industry retain its cool during this period of change, ExxonMobil has developed a special report: “Use of Lubricants in Systems Using Natural Refrigerants”.

Written in partnership with industry expert, Ray Gluckman, the document discusses the increasing use of natural refrigerants – such as ammonia, carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrocarbons – and the unique lubrication challenges presented by each option.
