    high temperature oil?



    Out of curiousity, what oils are typically used for high temperature applications? I'm curious about what they use in the ventless clothes dryer compressors.

    I thought that the ventless dryers only used the fridge side to condense the vapour produced by heating the clothes by an electric heater.

    Some of the new ones (at least mine anyways) recycle the heat from the high side. Only a little heat is vented to the room to regulate temperature.
