REFLO 68A Refrigeration Compressor Oil

REFLO 68A - High-Performance Refrigeration Compressor Fluid

Looking for a refrigeration compressor fluid that offers reliable, long-term performance with the potential for significant operational cost savings? Look no further than REFLO 68A

REFLO 68A is an ammonia refrigeration compressor fluid formulated to outperform solvent-refined paraffinic and naphthenic refrigerant oils. Using the HT purity process, Petro-Canada produces 99.9% pure base oils, among the purest in the world. These crystal-clear base oils are fortified with specialty-selected additives to create a refrigeration compressor fluid that is virtually free of impurities that can hinder fluid performance.

One of the standout features of **REFLO 68A** is its lower oil volatility, which reduces fluid consumption and maintenance costs. It is significantly less volatile than solvent-refined paraffinics or naphthenics at high temperatures, which can result in reduced oil carry-over and lower fluid consumption when proper change-out procedures are followed. Lower oil carryover also reduces sludging and deposit formation in evaporators, which can lower maintenance costs.

REFLO 68A also has lower solubility in ammonia, which improves system efficiency and performance. It is less soluble in ammonia refrigerant than solvent-refined paraffinics and naphthenics, which means that less ammonia is absorbed into the compressor fluid. This can reduce foaming in separator tanks and increase system efficiency, and lower concentrations of ammonia in the fluid allows it to maintain viscosity, lubricating better and reducing wear. Less compressor fluid is absorbed into the ammonia, which reduces the potential for fluid to block piping, valves, and filters. Lower concentrations of compressor fluid in the ammonia also help to maintain refrigerant purity, improving system efficiency and performance.

REFLO 68A also has excellent thermal and oxidative stability, which extends fluid life, helping to reduce maintenance costs and downtime. It has excellent resistance to oxidative and thermal breakdown, guarding against oil thickening, deposits, and sludge formation. This helps to keep the compressor, heat exchanger, and expansion valves operating at their design efficiency and performance standards. It also extends fluid life, even in the presence of impurities in the ammonia refrigerant, saving on downtime and change-out costs.

So if you're looking for a refrigeration compressor fluid that offers reliable, long-term performance with the potential for significant operational cost savings, choose REFLO 68A

Features & Benefits

• - Tackiness properties for less wash-off.
• - Extreme pressure properties for greater recovery.
• - Reduced dioxin formation and environmental damage due to low levels of dioxin precursors.
• - Water separation properties reduce oil wash-off.
• - Rust inhibitors keep blades cleaner, helping to increase saw life

Application

REFLO 68A is formulated to lubricate ammonia refrigeration compressors used in large commercial operations such as cold stores, food processing plants, marine systems, and ice arenas. REFLO 68A is also used in manufacturing industries that require low-temperature control, such as pharmaceuticals and microelectronics. REFLO 68A can be used in ammonia refrigeration systems where evaporator temperatures are greater than -39°C (-38°F)*

Although **REFLO 68A** is compatible with most paraffinic mineral oils, the full benefits of **REFLO 68A** will not be realized without a complete fluid change-out.

OEM Approved: REFLO 68A is approved or meets the requirements of most major compressor OEM’s, including Bitzer, Frigoscandia, Grasso, Howden, Huppman, Sullair, Vilter, and Mayekawa/Mycom (Screw Compressors).

Food Industry Approved: MPI New Zealand Approved. NSF H2 registered. Acceptable for use in food processing facilities in New Zealand where there is no possibility of food contact.

Additional Performance Benefit

• High viscosity index ensures proper lubrication and protection from wear over a wide range of operating temperature
• High flash point ensures safe operation at elevated temperatures.
