Capella A 68 is a high performance fully synthetic refrigeration compressor lubricant designed for use in ammonia refrigeration compressors, and offers reliable performance at very low operating temperatures.

High performance fully synthetic refrigeration compressor lubricant

Benefits

  • Fully synthetic formulation promotes thermal and chemical stability in the presence of ammonia
  • Very low pourpoint offers reliable performance in modern, very low temperature ammonia refrigeration applications
  • High VI contributes to lubrication performance and system protection during high temperature operation
  • Low temperature fluidity helps reduce power consumption and promote system protection during cold starts
  • Low volatility in comparison with straight mineral oils promotes reduced oil consumption
  • High performance chemical stability helps optimise heat transfer performance

Applications

  • Capella A 68 is suitable for refrigeration units using ammonia
  • Capella A 68 is recommended for use in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems requiring lubricants with good low-temperature characteristics
  • Capella A 68 satisfies the low temperature requirements of ammonia refrigeration systems
  • Capella A 68 is particularly suitable for reciprocating and screw compressors operating at discharge temperatures exceeding +100°C
  • Note: Capella A can contribute to seal shrinking which can the compatibility of seals with PAO based Capella A, the equipment Capella A may be used with R-22 refrigerant, but only if this manufacturer and where the evaporator temperature is higher

Approvals

  • DIN 51503-1 lead to leakage. When there is doubt regarding manufacturer should be consulted. is expressly recommended by the compressor than –20°C (R22)
