Refrigeration Oil

 

               

 

 

High quality, essentially wax-free oil for the lubrication of refrigeration and air-conditioning compressors when refrigerants other than HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) are used. Made from special, narrow-cut naphthenic base oils with an extremely low pour point and Freon Floc point

 

- Benefits

 

 

Very low pour point and Freon Floc point prevent loss of fluidity or formation of wax deposits, ensuring efficient evaporator operation, and cleanliness of equipment lines and refrigerant control devices. Excellent lubricity guards against wear of compressor components.

 

 

Excellent thermal stability minimizes the formation of gum, varnish and sludge deposits.

 

 

Excellent oxidation resistance reduces oil thickening and deposit formation, ensuring extended oil change intervals.

 

 

Suitability for use with a wide range of refrigerants minimizes inventory and reduces chance of misapplication

 

 

 

+ Reciprocating and rotary refrigeration compressors

 

+ Air conditioning systems

 

+ Refrigeration systems using chlorofluoro-carbons (CFCs)

 

 

Shell Refrigeration Oil S4 FR-F are synthetic refrigerator oils based on polyol esters, and intended for use with the refrigerant R 134a.

 

 

Lubrication of compressors suitable for use operating with refrigerants R 134a, R 404A, R 407, R 507 and other blends of HFC-refrigerants (Refrigeration Oil S4 FR-F 22, F 32 and F 46 are also compatible with refrigerant F 23) For all applications of refrigeration and air-conditioning such as: industrial refrigeration, refrigeration systems for food storage, mobile and stationary air-conditioning

 

 

 

+ Excellent thermal and chemical stability

 

+ Complete solubility with R 134a

 

+ Favourable low temperature fluidity

 

+ Good anti-wear properties

 

+ Long service life

 

+ Compatibility with elastomers commonly used in refrigeration systems

 

 

 

Shell Refrigeration Oil S4 FR-F are unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application, and good standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained. Avoid contact with skin. Use impervious gloves with used oil. After skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water

 

 

Mobil Gargoyle™ Arctic Oil 155, 300, and Mobil Gargoyle™ Arctic C Heavy 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 Mobil Gargoyle Arctic oils helps to ensure 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.

Mobil Gargoyle Arctic Oil 155, 300, and Mobil Gargoyle Arctic C Heavy are compatible with most refrigerants except sulphur dioxide. They are not recommended for use with HFC refrigerants. The moisture content of Mobil Gargoyle Arctic Oil 155, 300, and Mobil Gargoyle Arctic C Heavy 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.

 

 

 

The Mobil Gargoyle Arctic brand of refrigeration oils enjoy a world-wide reputation for good performance based on their use in a wide variety of refrigeration applications over the past several decades. Mobil Gargoyle Arctic Oil 155, 300, and Mobil Gargoyle Arctic C Heavy were the pioneers of this brand and are specially manufactured to provide the specific properties required for refrigeration equipment. Not least among these are low pour point. Mobil Gargoyle Arctic Oil 155, 300, and Mobil Gargoyle Arctic C Heavy offer the following features and potential benefits:

 

+ Low wax content - Excellent low temperature flow and evaporator heat transfer for optimum system efficiency

 

+ Good chemical stability - Long service life resulting in less downtime and lower maintenance costs

 

+ Multi-purpose lubricants - Suitability for the lubrication of both cylinders and bearings reduces oil inventories

 

 

 

The Mobil Gargoyle Arctic Oil 155, 300, and Mobil Gargoyle Arctic C Heavy products are recommended for cylinder and bearing lubrication in most conventional refrigeration compressors and for other machinery operating at sub-zero temperatures. Typical applications include:

 

+ 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 ed halocarbons
