Study on the compatibility of insulation materials for hermetic motor under alternative refrigerants and new lubricants atmosphere

HFC407C and HFC410A were introduced as the alternative refrigerants for HCFC22 in air conditioner to follow the Motreal protocol. But HFCs were also regulated by the Kyoto protocol and natural refrigerants like hydrocarbon (HC) and CO₂ are researched and introduced in the market. Under these circumstances the compatibility of motor insulation materials for hermetic motor under alternative refrigerants and lubricants become important. In this paper we discuss the compatibility of magnet wires and films of hermetic motor for air conditioner under atmosphere of HFC407C and HFC410A with POE and PVE lubricants and also discuss it under atmosphere of R600a with mineral oil and CO₂ with PAG lubricant in comparison of conventional atmosphere.
