HOW LUBE OIL IS ASSOCIATED WITH COMPRESSOR?

it has been difficult times to find relevant material/s exhibiting the relationship between lube oil's viscosity and refrigeration application i.e. High, Medium and Low temp in general or below -25degC .... in particular.

it is also difficult to determine the party who decides the suitability of viscosity grade used? compressor manufacturer, lube oil company, or the cooling process?

next, how about the type of compressor i.e. recip, screw against application's temperature and viscosity.

Basically, the relationship amongst Compressor type, application's temperature, lube oil viscosity will be doubtful until this is sorted. Moreover, this has NOT include refrigerant as the medium.

** May be you are the right person to describe the relationship **
