Question: what is the difference between a ternary blend and an azeotropic blend?
Answer: Ternary blends are used with a synthetic alkylbenzene lubricant. Alkylbenzene lubricant is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs (takes on) moisture. b) An azeotropic refrigerant contains fluids that boil out at the same temperatures (do not exhibit temperature glide) and act as a single refrigerant.
