HANBELL Refrigeration Oil HBR-B01

How to Buy HBR-B01: Terms, Packing and Documents

HANBELL HBR-B01 is supplied on published terms: the pack size, the price terms, the payment terms and the documents are the same for every buyer, and they can be quoted without a site visit. The minimum order is deliberately left open, because it is judged case by case: the grade, the quantity, the pack size, the shipping terms and the container load all move it, so a single pail and a full container load are both workable and neither is treated as the normal case. Send us the quantity, the destination port and whether your own brand goes on the pail, and those three turn the table below into a firm quotation. Documents and lead time work the same way on every order: the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the grade supplied come with the quotation, and the certificate of analysis for the delivered batch comes with the shipment.

Full sourcing, OEM and private-label options are set out on our synthetic refrigeration oil sourcing and OEM supply page.

Is HBR-B01 the Right Grade for Your System?

Before you order: send us the compressor model and the oil you are replacing. We check the base oil type and the viscosity class against the cross-reference and confirm the equivalent grade before quoting — that is the same process we apply when a buyer is moving from another brand.

What Else Can We Handle for Your Project?

A lubricant order is rarely only a lubricant order. The buyer is usually solving a grade question, an import documentation question, a freight question and a packaging question at the same time — often across more than one product family. Those are the parts of the job we take on, and they are handled by the same team that quotes the oil rather than passed to a third party.

We are a manufacturer rather than a reseller, which is what makes that possible. The blending plant in Foshan, Guangdong runs at 6,000 tonnes a year and has been producing lubricants for more than ten years, so the answer to most of the questions below comes out of our own production and our own paperwork.

None of this runs through a separate service department. The same technical contact stays with an account from the first grade question through to repeat orders, which is why a reorder does not start the conversation over again.

If what you need is not described here, send the application rather than the product — the unit, the refrigerant, the operating temperatures and the volume — and we will tell you whether we can make it and what it would take.

How to Order HBR-B01

Grade confirmation comes before pricing, because a wrong viscosity class is the mistake that costs a compressor. The sequence is the same whether you are buying one pail or a full container:

1. Send us the compressor or unit model, the refrigerant, the oil currently in the system and the quantity you need.
2. We check the base oil type and the viscosity class against the cross-reference table and confirm whether HBR-B01, or our equivalent QSL-320H, is the right grade for that application.
3. We quote against your destination port on any Incoterms 2020 term (EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DDP and every other rule), with the pack size and the lead time for that quantity.
4. The technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the grade supplied come with the quotation, and a certificate of analysis for the delivered batch comes with the shipment.

If you already know the grade and only need a price, send the quantity and the destination port and we will quote directly.

Where Does HBR-B01 Sit in the HANBELL HBR Range?

Viscosity class and base oil type are the two selection criteria that matter first. The table below shows where each POE grade in the HBR-B series falls, with the duty each one is specified for.

The table lists the HBR grades for which a published viscosity figure is available. HBR-B02, HBR-B06, HBR-B07 and HBR-B10 are not listed because no published viscosity figure for them could be located. HBR-B03 is an alkylbenzene grade and HBR-A01 a mineral grade, so neither is interchangeable with the POE grades above. Confirm the class against the compressor manufacturer’s specification before substituting one grade for another.

Which Oils Can Replace HBR-B01?

If your compressor is already in service, you probably hold a data sheet for a different brand at the same viscosity class. These are the oils the Qishanr cross-reference table pairs with HBR-B01, with Qishanr QSL-320H as our own equivalent:

A cross-reference is the starting point for a specification review — confirm the final choice against the compressor manufacturer’s approved oil list for your model and refrigerant. The same Qishanr table documents this viscosity class as suitable for screw compressors operating under air conditioning and heat pump working conditions. Unlike the 120 class used by HBR-B08, this class does carry a BITZER equivalent — B320SH.

What HBR-B01 Is, and Why the Base Oil Matters

HANBELL HBR-B01 belongs to the HBR-B series, which are synthetic polyol ester (POE) oils rather than mineral oils, and that distinction decides whether the oil works at all. HFC refrigerants are not miscible with mineral oil, so a mineral charge in an HFC circuit does not travel with the refrigerant — oil collects in the evaporator and the compressor sump runs dry. POE is miscible with HFC refrigerants, so the oil circulates through the circuit and returns to the sump. Within the series, HBR-B01 is the heaviest grade: HBR-B12 is the 32 class, HBR-B05 the 68 class, HBR-B08 the 120 class, HBR-B09 the 170 class and HBR-B04 the 220 class.

Choosing the class is the second decision. A lighter oil than the compressor specification calls for thins the film at the bearings; a heavier one raises the drag and the discharge temperature. HBR-B01 sits at the top of the range and is paired with air-cooled and flooded screw compressors, which is where the heaviest film is wanted. The HBR-B series is not the whole HANBELL range: HBR-B03 is an alkylbenzene grade and HBR-A01 a mineral grade, and neither is interchangeable with the POE grades.

Why There Is No Specification Table on This Page

Most grade pages in this series carry a table of viscosity, viscosity index, density, flash point, pour point and dielectric strength, because the compressor manufacturer publishes those figures for the grade. HANBELL does not publish them for HBR-B01. The grade appears in the cross-reference table, but no product data sheet for it was located in the manufacturer’s own literature or in distributor archives when this page was published. Rather than fill a table from another grade in the series, or from a third-party site, we have left it out and said so.

That is a deliberate limit rather than an oversight, and it tells you how to read the rest of this page. Everything here comes from one of two sources: the Qishanr cross-reference table, which pairs HBR-B01 with QSL-320H and lists the equivalent grades, and the compressor manufacturer’s specification for your unit. Where a figure is not published, this page does not carry it. If your specification review needs a measured viscosity, ask us and we will send the data sheet for the grade we actually supply — Qishanr QSL-320H — against the delivered batch.

Original HANBELL Oil, or a QISHANR Equivalent?

The two supply options exist for different jobs. The original HANBELL product is the right choice where the compressor is still under warranty, where the specification names HANBELL explicitly, or where the manufacturer’s approval has to be documented. Our own Qishanr QSL-320H is the same POE viscosity class, blended at our plant in Foshan, China, and it is the option that makes sense for top-up and replacement work on an out-of-warranty system where landed cost decides the order.

We supply both, so the comparison is made on your application rather than on what we happen to stock. Send the compressor model, the refrigerant and the volume, and the quote will carry both options with the same documentation package behind them. If you are already running a different brand at this viscosity class — a Bitzer B320SH, a Suniso SL320 or a Refcomp M, for example — send the model and we will confirm the equivalent before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is HANBELL HBR-B01?

A: HBR-B01 is the heaviest grade in the HANBELL HBR-B series of synthetic polyol ester (POE) refrigeration oils. Our official cross-reference table pairs it with Qishanr QSL-320H, our own 320 class POE grade, for screw compressors operating under air conditioning and heat pump working conditions.

Q: What viscosity is HANBELL HBR-B01?

A: HANBELL does not publish a viscosity figure for this grade. What the cross-reference establishes is the class: HBR-B01 is paired with Qishanr QSL-320H, which is a 320 grade. We state the class and not a cSt value, because we cannot point to a published document for a number.

Q: Which oils can replace HBR-B01?

A: Qishanr QSL-320H is our own equivalent. The cross-reference table also lists Bitzer B320SH, Suniso SL320, Refcomp M, Fusheng FS300R, York/Frick G, Trane OIL0025E and CPI CPI320 in the same class. Confirm the final choice against the compressor manufacturer’s approved oil list for your model.

Q: What is HBR-B01 used for?

A: Screw compressors operating under air conditioning and heat pump working conditions, and the heavier air-cooled and flooded screw compressor duty where the top grade in the series is specified.

Q: Is HBR-B01 a POE or a mineral oil?

A: It is a POE grade — the HBR-B series are polyol esters. HBR-B03 is an alkylbenzene grade and HBR-A01 a mineral grade, so neither is interchangeable with HBR-B01.

Q: Can HBR-B01 be mixed with other oils?

A: Oils of the same type and viscosity are compatible and can be mixed. If you do not know what is currently in the system, send us the compressor model and we will confirm the equivalent grade and the changeover procedure first.

Q: What pack size does HBR-B01 come in, and is there a minimum order?

A: 5 US gallon (18.9 L) pails, with custom pack formats quoted as an item. There is no fixed minimum order — the figure is confirmed per order, because the grade, the quantity, the pack size, the shipping terms and the container load all move it.

Q: Do you supply the original HANBELL product or your own equivalent?

A: Both. The original HANBELL HBR-B01 is the right choice where the specification names it or the compressor is under warranty; Qishanr QSL-320H is our own 320 class POE grade, blended at our plant in Foshan, China, for top-up and replacement work.

Key Takeaways

• HANBELL HBR-B01 is the heaviest grade in the HANBELL HBR-B series of synthetic POE refrigeration oils, paired in our cross-reference table with Qishanr QSL-320H.
• HANBELL publishes no viscosity figure for HBR-B01, so this page states the viscosity class and carries no specification table. Ask us for the data sheet of the grade we supply instead.
• Duty: screw compressors operating under air conditioning and heat pump working conditions, and the heavier air-cooled and flooded screw compressor duty.
• Cross-references: Bitzer B320SH, Suniso SL320, Refcomp M, Fusheng FS300R, York/Frick G, Trane OIL0025E, CPI CPI320, and Qishanr QSL-320H. This class does carry a BITZER equivalent, unlike the 120 class.
• Supplied in 5 US gallon (18.9 L) pails. No fixed minimum order — the figure is confirmed per order. Any Incoterms 2020 term (EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DDP and others), any commonly used payment method (T/T, L/C, PayPal and others).
• Available as the original HANBELL product, or as Qishanr QSL-320H — the equivalent grade we manufacture at our own plant in Foshan, China.
• HBR-B03 is alkylbenzene and HBR-A01 is mineral, so neither substitutes for HBR-B01. Send us the compressor model, the refrigerant and the oil you are replacing and we will confirm the grade.

Standards and Sources Behind the Data on This Page

This page carries fewer figures than the other grade pages in the series, and the reason is set out above: the compressor manufacturer does not publish a data sheet for this grade. Every statement here comes from one of the sources below, so each one can be checked before you buy.
