R134a Electrical Properties
I've been searching the Internet high and low looking for the ELECTRICAL conductivity of R134a. There doesn't seem to be much info on the subject and I'm stuck. Does anybody know its conductivity and/or where I could find it out?

Is that what you are looking for?
I did a Google search "Dielectric strength of R134a"
There was another, presumably more in-depth, article, but I wasn't willing to pay $31.50 American for it.

Re: R134a Electrical Properties
Its close but no cigar. I'm looking for a conductivity constant (could use the reciprocal of resistivity) The application I'm using it for needs to be in units mS/cm but I can do the conversions to get it there.
Thanks for looking though.

Re: R134a Electrical Properties
I don't pretend to understand but this paper shows the following at 50°C
R134a Liquid 7.2 kV/mil
Vapour 6.7 kV/mil.
Does this help?

Re: R134a Electrical Properties
Whatever the conductivity is of the refrigerant, it will also be running about the system with oil which will also have a conductivity.
Do you need to take this into account as well Brian?
PAG oil is too conductive to use in anything other than open drive compressers. Mineral, AB and POE are used in hermetics because (amongst other things) their dielectric strength is high.

Re: R134a Electrical Properties
Hi, just want to ask your opinion, I have 1/4Hp 220 volts/60hz R134A Fridge compressor, I just want to ask your opinion If I could use R22 refrigerant in the system?
Thanks,
