Efficient oil reservoir analysis relies on understanding the behavior of reservoir fluids under varying conditions. This is where viscometer measurement improves the process, offering a window into the viscosity and flow properties of these fluids. Cambridge Viscosity’s ViscoLab PVT+ viscometer equips reservoir engineers with the ability to assess the fluid’s viscosity, even under extreme pressure and temperature conditions, mirroring real-world reservoir scenarios.

Profile of Dr. Chris Seeton: How CVI helps support a cleaner future

Oct 13, 2022 8:33:51 AM / by Patrick Riley posted in compressor viscosity, lab viscometer, refrigerant viscosity, 372 sensor

0 Comments

Chris Seeton is widely considered to be an expert in the compressor/refrigerant industry. He has the notable distinction of being the person who won the first battle that allows new low global warming refrigerant regulations to come into effect by serving as the Global Technology Leader at Honeywell and leading the industry’s effort to replace R134a with R1234yf which came to fruition in 2015 (an EPA CAFÉ credit of 13.8 gCO2/mile or ~3 mpg per vehicle by just changing the refrigerant). Even today, he continues to drive change in the industry by leading two cooperative research project groups through SAE on developing new heat pump systems for electric vehicles.

There are many different viscometer technologies and all have their merits, depending on the application. 

Before you go and talk to any manufacturers, it is important that you know your application specifications and you need to know what to ask so you don’t end up with an expensive paperweight. This guide will help you gather your information upfront so when you do reach out, we can assist you quickly and effectively.

Laboratory viscometers and process viscometers may have some technology and methodology overlap, but the conditions of use are different so we’re going to break this down into two separate groups.
