ASHRAE invites research proposals to test CO₂ lubricants

Mar. 30, 2009 - Shortly after the publication of its first position paper on natural refrigerants, the leading U.S. association for the HVAC&R industry is taking concrete steps to drive the agenda for R744. A new project proposal invites applications to explore lubricants for CO₂ refrigeration.

As part of its strategic research plan 2005-2010 centering on sustainability, on 15 March ASHRAE launched 13 new project proposals dealing with energy efficiency, climate comfort or indoor air quality in domestic and commercial environments. Among the projects expected to start 1 September this year there will also be a $60,000 budget allocated to research into the "Stability of Candidate Lubricants for CO₂ Refrigeration".
