Oil
HVAC refrigeration oil provides critical lubrication for compressor components while maintaining compatibility with specific refrigerant types and system pressures. Polyol Ester (POE) is the most common refrigerant oil used today, especially due to its compatibility with HFC refrigerants, making proper oil selection essential for modern HVAC applications....Read more
Professional grade refrigeration oils work with diverse equipment including commercial refrigeration compressors, HVAC condensing units, walk in coolers, reach in freezers, ice machines, heat pumps, chillers, and both reciprocating and scroll compressor systems across various refrigerant applications. These specialized lubricants can maintain extreme temperature ranges while lubricating moving compressors parts, sealing compression chambers, transferring heat from HVAC compressor components, and preventing metal to metal contact to ensure smooth refrigeration system operation.
Quality refrigeration oil is essential for compressor longevity, system efficiency, and preventing catastrophic equipment failure. Proper oil selection ensures OEM warranty compliance, reduces energy consumption, and maintains optimal refrigerant flow throughout the system.
Incorrect or degraded oil leads to compressor seizure, reduced cooling capacity, increased energy costs, premature equipment failure, voided warranties, and potential complete system replacement requiring emergency service calls. Warning signs of oil issues include compressor noise, reduced cooling capacity, or visible oil contamination. Regular oil analysis helps identify potential problems before they cause compressor failure. Commercial systems need oil changes every 1-3 years on usage intensity and environmental factors.
