This thesis is based upon five papers concerning lubrication with oil and refrigerant mixtures used as lubricants in rolling element bearings in refrigeration compressors. The presented research was carried out at Luleå University of Technology at the Division of Machine Elements. I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Ove Isaksson, for his help, discussions and encouragement. I would also like to thank Dr. Ulf Jonsson for introducing me to the Division and the field of lubrication of refrigeration compressors and for the many interesting discussions and valuable support both within and outside our field of research. Special thanks go to the participating companies SKF, Trane Company, CPI Engineering, York Refrigeration and Carrier, for their engagement and financial support. Thanks also to the Swedish Energy Agency for financial support. Finally, I would like to thank all my other colleagues at the Division of Machine Elements, my family, Anna, Cajsa and Johannes for their encouragement and
