When this happens, refrigerant vapor can condense back into a liquid, mix with the oil, and dilute its lubricating properties. On start-up, the oil/liquid refrigerant mixture is then used to lubricate the bearing surfaces within the compressor. This mixture — being a poor lubricant — causes wearing of the bearing surfaces within the compressor.

Here at Heuch, we believe that the reduction in use of the hydroflurocarbons (HFC) gases was inevitable. Especially considering that they can be 10,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as greenhouse gases.  [Read More](https://news.heuch.com.au/refrigerants-and-what-they-mean-for-you) Topics: [R22](https://news.heuch.com.au/topic/r22), [Refrigerant](https://news.heuch.com.au/topic/refrigerant), [Refrigeration Services](https://news.heuch.com.au/topic/refrigeration-services) ## ['Half a degree avoided': Breakthrough in talks to limit global warming](https://news.heuch.com.au/half-a-degree-avoided-breakthrough-in-talks-to-limit-global-warming) Posted by [Heuch](https://news.heuch.com.au/author/heuch) on Oct 20, 2016 9:39:47 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://news.heuch.com.au/hubfs/Blog_Posts/Half_a_degree_avoided_breakthrough_HFCs_AP_Photo.jpg) ](https://news.heuch.com.au/half-a-degree-avoided-breakthrough-in-talks-to-limit-global-warming) *Published, The Age, October 15 2016. * Nearly 200 nations hammered out a legally binding deal to cut back on greenhouse gases used in refrigerators and air conditioners, a Rwandan minister announced to loud cheers on Saturday, in a major step against climate change.  The deal, which includes the world's two biggest economies, the United States and China, divides countries into three groups with different deadlines to reduce the use of factory-made hydroflurocarbon (HFC) gases, which can be 10,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as greenhouse gases.  [Read More](https://news.heuch.com.au/half-a-degree-avoided-breakthrough-in-talks-to-limit-global-warming) Topics: [Refrigerant](https://news.heuch.com.au/topic/refrigerant), [Global Warming](https://news.heuch.com.au/topic/global-warming) ## [Refrigerant Promotion Grand Final Extension!](https://news.heuch.com.au/heuch-refrigeration-services-refrigerant-promotion-extension) Posted by [Heuch](https://news.heuch.com.au/author/heuch) on Sep 29, 2016 3:22:26 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://news.heuch.com.au/hubfs/Heuch_Refrigerant_Promotion.png) ](https://news.heuch.com.au/heuch-refrigeration-services-refrigerant-promotion-extension) --- We know there is only 24 hours left to secure refrigerant that is up to 50% OFF!
