MARKET INTRODUCTION
Refrigerant oils are used to reduce friction between moving parts in the refrigerator. They are used to lubricate the components in refrigerator compressors, air conditioners, chillers, and coolers. Refrigerant oils significantly reduce the wear and tear of the compressor components and extend its durability. Synthetic and mineral oils that are compatible with the refrigerant are used as refrigerant oils. Besides reducing friction, refrigerant oils are also responsible for dissipating and carrying away the heat.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The ubiquitous applications of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration in various end-use industries has led to significant consumption of lubricants and refrigerant oils. The burgeoning applications of airconditioning in industries, manufacturing facilities, malls, hospitals, IT parks, and public buildings have created considerable demand for refrigerant oils. Oil changing and maintenance of old refrigeration systems are also anticipated to create significant demand for refrigerant oils in the forecast period. In recent years, refrigerant oil manufacturers are paying more focus on developing lubricant oils and additives to improve compressor and heat transfer efficiency. Several manufacturers around the world are incorporating nanoparticles in the refrigerant oils to improve heat transfer efficiency. The current trend of using refrigerant additives containing activated polar molecules that display a strong affinity towards metals. These additives ensure a thin lubricating layer on the surfaces of compressors subjected to friction. It has been known to improve the heat transfer efficiency in compressors. The innovation and research and development activites in the field of refrigerant oils are anticipated to lead to development of refrigerant oils with enhanced lubricating properties.
