REFCOM ERL Rvn no : 1

Advanced POE Refrigeration compressor Fluid

Description
REFCOM ERL is a series high performance lubricants that combine specially blended Polyol Ester (POE) refrigeration lubricants with ashless additives to provide superior protection for HFC refrigeration systems.REFCOM ERL offers exceptional solubility and superior lubricity in HFC and Blended Refrigerants.Refcom POE lubricants have exceptional chemical and thermal stability, and offer a very long service life. They are safe to handle in all refrigerant applications

Benefits

  • Unsurpassed solubility in HFC and blended refrigerants
  • Excellent low temperature fluidity
  • High viscosity index
  • Excellent film strength and anti-wear properties
  • Top-off compatibility with most other POE refrigeration compressor fluids
  • Excellent resistance against water contamination
  • Excellent rust and corrosion protection
  • Very long fluid life
  • Allows quick and easy refrigerant conversions
  • Avoids copper plating
  • Enhanced resistance against water contamination

Most competitive POE compressor fluids are highly susceptible to water contamination. The hygroscopic nature (high affinity for water) of most POE compressor fluids will lead to decreased bearing life and premature fluid change outs. REFCOM ERL offers enhanced resistance to water contamination.

Formulated to make conversions easier

Converting a HCFC (i.e. R-22) system to HFC (i.e. R-507, R-134a) often requires that you flushes any mineral oil fluid from the system. Most competitive fluids will require that you have no more then 5% of the existing mineral oil remaining in the system. To reach this 5% level multiple flushes are often required, which can be very time consuming and costly. REFCOM ERL makes systems conversions easier by being able to accommodate much high levels of residual mineral oil.
