Review Paper on Compressor Oil Used in Refrigeration System Authors Sanjiv D. Pawar G H Raisoni College Engineering & Management Pune, Maharashtra, India. N. U. Korde G H Raisoni College Engineering & Management Pune, Maharashtra, India DOI: https://doi.org/10.64383/irjss.JAN250103 Keywords: Refrigerant, Refrigeration system, PAG Oil, POE Oil, PVE Oil, Compressor Desiccant 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.
