REFRIGERATION OIL

Product Description

FREEZPLUS products are high performance naphthenic mineral oils primarily intended for use in refrigeration compressors. They have low pour points and excellent fluidity at very low temperatures by virtue of being almost wax-free. Consequently, use of these Gargoyle Arctic oils ensures that evaporator tubes are kept clean to improve heat transfer and to reduce downtime for maintenance. They have good chemical stability and are suitable both for cylinder and bearing lubrication.
FREEZPLUS are compatible with all refrigerants except sulphur dioxide. They are not recommended for use with HFC refrigerants. The moisture content of FREEZ PLUS oils is very low when the oils are packaged. Every precaution should be taken to keep the oils dry to avoid the formation of ice in expansion valves, and to limit the risks of oil degradation, copper plating, etc.

Applications

·       The FREEZPLUS products are recommended for cylinder and bearing lubrication in all conventional refrigeration compressors and for all other machinery operating at sub-zero temperatures.

·        Large industrial reciprocating and rotary refrigeration compressors.

·        Industrial applications such as food freezing and cold storage plants.

·        Marine refrigeration applications.

·        Used primarily with ammonia refrigerant, but also used with selected halocarbons.

Benefits

·        Low maintenance costs due to extended oil change intervals and reduced oil consumption.

·        They are wax-free.

·        They have low pour points and excellent fluidity.

·        High efficiency of the refrigerating plant due to reduced oil deposits.

·        They have good chemical stability.

·        Low operating costs due to long service life of filters and oil separators.
