In a compressor, refrigeration oil mainly plays four roles: lubrication, sealing, cooling and energy regulation.
(1) Lubrication
Refrigeration oil plays a lubricating role in the operation of the compressor to reduce the friction and wear of the compressor, thereby extending the service life of the compressor.
(2) Sealing
Refrigeration oil plays a sealing role in the compressor, so that the piston and cylinder surface in the compressor and the rotating bearings are sealed to prevent refrigerant leakage.
(3) Cooling
When the refrigeration oil lubricates the moving parts of the compressor, it can take away the heat generated during the operation and keep the moving parts at a lower temperature, thereby improving the efficiency of the compressor and the reliability of its use.
(4) Energy Regulation
For refrigeration compressors with energy regulation mechanisms, the oil pressure of the refrigeration oil can be used as the power of the energy regulation mechanism.
