Refrigeration Oils

Refcom PAO XL Rvn no : 1

Fully synthetic PAO based cool compressor fluid with ultra low pour point.

Description
Refcom PAO XL series are PAO based synthetic compressor fluids. They are specially formulated to lubricate compressors used in ammonia refrigeration systems. The problems normally seen (high oil consumption-reduced efficiency due to pipe clogging) will be history when Refcom PAO XL series is used. Refcom PAO XL series are fully miscible with conventional mineral oils, therefore a change-over procedure is fairly easy. High concentrations of mineral based product will however reduce the performance. Refcom PAO XL series in its compatibility with paints, seals, gaskets and hoses, is similar to mineral oils. No special precautions related to compatibility are required when changing over from a mineral oil lubricant.

Applications
Reciprocating and rotary screw compressors used in ammonia systems as well as gas compressors and vacuum pumps in process systems where ammonia vapours occur. Also suitable for heat pumps requiring an ISO VG 220 lubricant.
