One of the key features of these oils is their base composition. They are manufactured from highly-refined naphthenic base stocks. Naphthenic base oils are known for their superior solvency, which enhances the oils’ ability to dissolve additives and other oil components, leading to better performance and stability. This solvency also contributes to improved flock point characteristics. The flock point of an oil is the temperature at which wax crystals begin to form. Oils with better flock point characteristics remain fluid at lower temperatures, which is essential for refrigeration systems that need to operate efficiently in cold conditions.
In addition to their thermal and oxidation stability, these oils offer excellent compatibility with a wide range of refrigerants. This compatibility is critical because the interaction between the oil and the refrigerant can significantly impact the performance and reliability of the refrigeration system. By ensuring that the oils are compatible with most refrigerants, we help prevent issues such as chemical reactions that could lead to sludge formation, increased wear, or other operational problems.
