A Bench Evaluation Test for Refrigeration Oils in a Refrigeration System Using a Screw Compressor
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Authors reported a bench evaluation test to evaluate degradation of refrigeration oils. It appears that the paper is well structured. I think it could be published as it is.

Thank you very much for your recommendation.
Reviewer 2 Report
Overall, the work describes the changes in refrigeration oil over time during use at different temperatures. The work is well presented overall though the manuscript would benefit from a few revisions before being considered for publication.
Firstly a more thorough English proof-read is required as numerous grammatical errors are present.
Lines 142-144. Is the make/model of the screw compressor also a custom build, or is it commercially available for others to be able to repeat this work?
Equation 3/Figure 4 – hc needs units defining
Finally, in the discussion some comments on the chemical mechanisms responsible for the observations is needed. There are several analogous studies available in the literature on , e.g. engine oil, which could be referenced.
Some examples include:
