ZerolŪ RFL-EP, Shrieve's speciality polyalkylene glycol (PAG) lubricant, was exclusively designed for R744 compression. It features an exceptional viscosity index which enhances the compressor life by ensuring efficient running at extreme temperatures. Moreover, it achieves optimized levels of miscibility in R744, essential to compressor lubrication and a high overall refrigeration system efficiency.

Shrieve's lubricant is suitable for any CO2 (R744) refrigeration, heat pump, and air conditioning system, offering significant performance advantages compared to other commercially available products. Its efficient additive technology protects the compressor from any problems related to corrosion of white and yellow metals, thereby minimizing the component wear under extreme pressure conditions.
ZerolŪ RFL-EP has already established a proven track record in R744-based systems. The lubricant is approved for use with CO2 by leading compressor manufacturers, such as Dorin, Mycom and Itomic.
Reaction
"The shift to more environmentally friendly refrigerants such as CO2 creates a challenge for refrigeration lubricant manufacturers. Shrieve is excited about our success in meeting this challenge and about our participation in R744.com." states Shrieve President Phil Beckler.
"The forum R744.com provides an essential information exchange and will be of great benefit to our company and the industry as a whole as CO2 enters the commercial scene on a greater scale," he adds.
