Why Is Refrigeration Compressor Oil So Important?

In refrigeration compressors, refrigeration compressor oil does much more than provide lubrication. It must maintain excellent lubricating performance while remaining compatible with the refrigerant under low-temperature, high-temperature, and long-term operating conditions.

A high-performance refrigeration oil generally requires:

• Excellent low-temperature fluidity
• Good thermal and oxidation stability
• Excellent refrigerant compatibility
• Low volatility
• Strong anti-wear and lubrication performance

Depending on the refrigeration system and refrigerant, different base oils such as mineral oil, PAO and POE (Polyol Ester) can be selected.

For modern HVAC systems, refrigeration compressors, air-conditioning systems and heat pumps, the right refrigeration oil can significantly influence equipment efficiency, reliability and service life.

We have various types of high-quality base oils. Feel free to contact us at any time if you have any needs.
