What type of refrigeration oil should I use for my screw compressor?

Screw compressors typically require POE (Polyol Ester) oils for HFC refrigerants like R134a and R407C, or mineral oils for HCFC systems like R22. The viscosity grade (usually ISO VG 32-68) depends on the compressor manufacturer's specifications. Brands like Bitzer recommend BSE series POE oils, while FUSHENG systems often use mineral oil formulations.

What is the difference between POE and mineral refrigeration oil?

POE (Polyol Ester) oils are synthetic lubricants designed for HFC refrigerants (R134a, R404A, R407C, R410A) and are hygroscopic, requiring careful moisture control. Mineral oils (MO) are petroleum-based, used with CFC and HCFC refrigerants (R22, R502), and are less expensive but incompatible with modern HFC systems. POE oils offer better thermal stability and miscibility with newer refrigerants.

How do I select the right refrigeration oil for a centrifugal chiller?

For centrifugal chillers, select oil based on the OEM specification (e.g., Trane OIL00037, York PureOil S), the refrigerant type (R123 low-pressure or R134a medium-pressure), and the required viscosity grade. Most modern centrifugal chillers use POE oils with ISO VG 32-68. Always verify compatibility with the chiller manufacturer's technical bulletin and ensure the oil meets the required pour point for your operating conditions.

Qishanr Refrigeration Oil

The Qishanr QSL range are synthetic polyolesters (POE) lubricants formulated specifically for use in refrigeration and air-conditioning compressors using HFC refrigerants. These products have characteristics of low temperature and unparalleled chemical and thermal stability, provide effective wear protection for bearing surfaces, increased system life and improved efficiency, and are suitable for both initial fill and service fill.

Case Details

Advantages of Qishanr QSL
1.Chemical Stability:To resist interaction with the refrigerant or metal parts in the system.

2.Thermal Stability:To eliminate excessive carbon deposits at compressor hotspots such as valves or discharge ports.

3.Low Wax Content:To prevent separation of flocculent wax from the oil-refrigeration mixture at the low temperature points in the system.

4.Low Pour Point:To prevent separated oil from congealing in refrigerant lines.

5.High Dielectric Strength:To ensure good insulating properties. In hermetic units, the oil-refrigerant mixture serves as an insulator between the motor and the compressor body.

6.Proper Viscosity:To ensure high film strength at elevated operating temperatures and good fluidity under the coldest operating temperatures even when diluted with refrigerant.

7.No Contamination:To prevent scarring of bearing surfaces, plugging of lines or oil ports and general deterioration.

OUTDOOR SCENE

However, those with sealed components, including motors, controllers, and connectors, can also be operated outdoors. Performance IC forklifts tend to be utilized in heavy-duty applications, such as brick and lumber yards, where larger capacity and performance is required to move the heavy loads.
