HFC REFRIGERATION FLUIDS
HFC REFRIGERATION FLUIDS
(Refrigeration Fluids for Freon)



The design of modern air-conditioning and
refrigeration compressors varies according to
manufacturers. However, all require highly
specialized lubricating oil.

HFC REFRIGERATION FLUIDS meet the
special requirements and are formulated from
modified ester base stocks to provide controlled
miscibility, as well as solubility with all HFC
based refrigerants, including R-134a. They are
mineral oil compatible and can be used to
effectively retrofit an existing CFC based
system. The controlled miscibility and solubility
properties of the lubricants have lead to
improved volumetric efficiency in compressor
tests, as well as providing efficient oil return from
the system. In addition, tests conducted on the
fluid have shown no loss of lubricant film under
diluted conditions with rolling ball elements.

HFC REFRIGERATION FLUIDS have the
following proven features: (1) chemical stability
to resist chemical reaction with refrigerant or
other material normally present in the system;
(2) thermal stability to eliminate excessive hard
carbon deposits at compressor hot spots such
as valves or discharge ports; (3) controlled
miscibility to prevent separation of flocculant
material from the oil refrigerant mixture at the
low temperature points in the system; (4) a low
pour point to prevent oil from congealing in
refrigerant lines; (5) proper viscosity, even when
diluted with refrigerant, to insure high film
strength at elevated operating temperatures and
to provide good fluidity under the coldest
operating conditions; (6) a high dielectric
strength to insure good insulating properties (in


hermetic units the oil refrigerant mixture serves
as an insulator between the motor and the
compressor body); and (7) excellent lubricity to
protect compressors and system component
from wear.

BENEFITS:
EXCELLENT THERMAL,
CHEMICAL & OXIDATION
STABILITY FOR LONG SERVICE
LIFE
EXCELLENT RUST, CARBON
AND VARNISH CONTROL
CONTROLLED MISCIBILITY
WITH HFC & HCFC
REFRIGERANTS
EXCELLENT LUBRICITY TO
PROTECT COMPRESSORS

APPLICATIONS:

HFC REFRIGERATION FLUIDS are
recommended for the lubrication of reciprocating
and rotary compressors in hermetic refrigerant
motor-compressors. These refrigeration and air-
conditioning systems often contain HCFC and
HFC refrigerants.

HFC REFRIGERATION FLUIDS are
recommended for applications calling for these
refrigerants such as R-22, R-134a, R401-A,
R401-B, R402-A, R402-B, R404A, R407A,
R407B, R407C, R410A, R507, R 507A and
other refrigerants where polyol esters are
utilized.
