Refrigeration oil is a specialized lubricant used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to reduce friction and wear in compressors. It is designed to withstand low temperatures and work alongside refrigerants, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of cooling systems. This oil has a high thermal and chemical stability, meaning it won’t break down under extreme conditions, and it also provides effective protection against rust and corrosion. The right refrigeration oil improves compressor efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and extends the lifespan of the entire system. It’s essential for maintaining a smooth, continuous operation in applications such as commercial refrigeration, automotive air conditioning, and industrial cooling systems.
FRICTA REFRIGIO Series oils are formulated from highly refined naphthenic mineral oil developed primarily for use in reciprocating and rotary screw compressors in refrigeration systems using ammonia, carbon dioxide, or non-HFC refrigerants. It also may be used as a general-purpose, light-duty lubricant for industrial machinery operating in cold environments.
