Refrigeration compressors are used extensively in the offshore industry in process cooling, HVAC and food preservation.
Refrigeration compressor lubricants have evolved to suit the changing refrigerant fluid design driven by legislation. Hydroflurocarbons are served well with our Polyolester range however there are many other refrigerants still in use.
Care must be taken when selecting lubricants to ensure compatibility with the refrigerant. Always check your equipment manual and consult with a Castrol Technical Service Engineer to choose the right product for the right application.
