Test Descriptions and Results
UL 984A: Testing UL classified lubricant for use with compressor motor insulating materials and refrigerants. UL has developed specifications to classify lubricant used in sealed motor compressors of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. The UL program covers lubricants and the indicated refrigerants for all insulating materials used in industry-recognized hermetic refrigerant motor-compressors.
ASHRAE 86 - 1994: Completed Refrigeration oil floc point, °F. The temperature in which waxy materials in lubricating oil separate from a mixture of oil and refrigerant, giving a cloudy appearance. This test is important in that it evaluates the tendency of refrigeration oils to plug expansion valves or capillaries in refrigeration systems. Parameters: - 60°F maximum Results: - 60°F This test monitored power usage in order to determine the kilowatt-hour consumption of RTU-1 (Roof Top Unit) and RTU-2 air conditioning systems at the Bank of America branch at Loop 360 and US 183 in Austin Texas.
