Garden City Ammonia Program has done much research on the affect of oil with ammonia within an ammonia refrigeration system. During this experiment the vessel was never brought down to a vacuum. We started around 70 PSIG and brought the vessel down to 0 PSIG. No moisture or water was involved with this particulare video. When water was thrown into the equation in other testing, this reaction happen much quicker.
The oil used in this particular test is a sem-semthetic. "Camco 717-HT". Many other oils have been tested with pretty much the same results.
