Zerol® RFL-EP lubricant for R744 systems

Description:

Shrieve's Zerol® RFL-EP lubricant is suitable for use in all R744 systems, including mobile air-conditioning, commercial refrigeration and heat pumps. The lubricant is manufactured to exacting standards, providing the highest and most consistent product quality, with highest capping ratios to ensure a maximum level of lubricant performance and lifetime.

Basic specifications:

• Speciality "double end-capped" polyalkylene glycol (PAG) designed and formulated specifically for use in R744 compression

Advantages:

• Offers required levels of performance in R744 refrigeration conditions
• Optimised levels of miscibility in R744:
• ensures adequate miscibility for overall refrigeration system efficiency
• ensures that lubricant viscosity is not impacted by CO2 dilution to any degree whereby compressor wear problems could arise
• Highly superior synthetic PAG basestock lubricity, compared to POE, PVE or other types of PAG synthetic lubricants
• Exceptional Viscosity Index: enhances compressor life by ensuring efficient running at temperature extremes and therefore optimised levels of energy efficiency
• High temperature stability, even in presence of water ingress: results in extended lubricant lifetime and lower system maintenance costs
• Reduced tendancy to absorb water compared to alternative PAG lubricants and other synthetic lubricant technologies, including other commercially available "uncapped" and "double end-capped" PAGs
• Minimal levels of additisation in comparison with alternate synthetic lubricants advocated for use with CO2, as a result of the high inherent lubricity of the basefluid
• Optimised low-level additive technology: protects the compressor from any problems related to corrosion of white or yellow metals, and ensures long fluid life
• Extends compressor and system lifetimes, with associated reductions in system maintenance requirements
