Totaline SW220 is a synthetic polyol ester (POE) refrigeration compressor oil, ISO VG 220, developed for Carrier and Carlyle screw, reciprocating and semi-hermetic compressors in commercial and industrial HFC refrigeration systems. It is formulated for systems charged with R134a, R404A, R410A, R507 or R1234ze and has a flash point of approximately 265 °C (510 °F). SW220 is supplied in 1 L, 5 L and 20 L packs for chiller and cold-room top-ups, oil changes and scheduled maintenance programmes.
Totaline SW220 is a synthetic polyol ester (POE) lubricant formulated to the ISO VG 220 viscosity grade. POE chemistry is the standard lubricant family for HFC refrigeration because ester molecules remain miscible with refrigerants such as R134a, R404A, R410A, R507 and R1234ze across the operating range, which helps the oil return from the evaporator to the compressor. The ISO VG 220 grade suits the heavier bearing and rotor loads of large screw compressors and high-load reciprocating machines, where a mid-high viscosity film protects contact surfaces at high discharge temperatures. The formulation combines a high flash point with thermal and chemical stability to resist oxidation, acid formation and sludge build-up over extended service intervals.
SW220 is a service fill for Carrier and Carlyle screw compressor models, including the 06NA and 06NW series commonly fitted in water-cooled and air-cooled chillers. Always confirm the compressor model against your service documentation before ordering.
SW220 suits reciprocating and semi-hermetic compressor applications where the OEM specifies an ISO VG 220 POE lubricant with HFC refrigerants.
SW220 is used in commercial HVAC chillers, packaged units and process cooling circuits where a VG 220 ester oil is required for reliable long-life operation. See our guide to POE refrigeration oil for commercial HVAC and industrial refrigeration.
For industrial refrigeration circuits charged with R134a, R404A, R410A or R507, SW220 delivers the viscosity and chemical stability needed for continuous duty in demanding environments.
Before you order: confirm the compressor model, refrigerant charge and the current oil reference from the compressor nameplate. POE oil must match both the refrigerant chemistry and the OEM viscosity specification — see how industrial refrigeration buyers verify POE lubricant compatibility before purchase.

Specifications are supplier reference data, verified 2026-08-27. Request the current TDS/MSDS with your inquiry for lot-level confirmation.
Viscosity is the first selection criterion for screw and reciprocating compressor oil. The table below compares the POE grades in the Qishanr range against typical compressor duty; always use the grade stated in your compressor service manual.
| ISO VG Grade | Typical Compressor Duty | Refrigerant Context | Product Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO VG 68 | Medium screw and reciprocating chillers, lower bearing loads | R134a, R404A | QSL-68H POE |
| ISO VG 220 (this product) | Large screw compressors (06NA/06NW), high-load chiller duty | R134a, R404A, R410A, R507, R1234ze | Totaline SW220 |
| ISO VG 370 | Heavy industrial screw compressors, high discharge temperatures | R134a, R404A, R507 | Solest 370 |
Viscosity selection must follow the compressor OEM specification. If your service manual lists a different grade, request guidance with your inquiry rather than substituting.

A: SW220 is used in Carrier and Carlyle screw compressor applications, including 06NA and 06NW series machines common in chillers, plus reciprocating and semi-hermetic compressors where the OEM specifies an ISO VG 220 POE oil. Confirm the model on the compressor nameplate and match it to your service documentation before ordering.
A: SW220 is a POE oil formulated for HFC and HFO refrigerants including R134a, R404A, R410A, R507 and R1234ze, per the supplier reference data verified on this page. It is not a replacement for mineral or alkylbenzene oils in R22, ammonia or hydrocarbon systems.
A: No. R22 systems typically use mineral or alkylbenzene oil, and ammonia systems require oils rated for NH3 compatibility. SW220 is designed for HFC systems — using it in R22 or ammonia circuits can cause oil return and lubrication problems.
A: PP23BZ110005C is a Carrier service part commonly cross-referenced with SW220-grade POE oil, and Castrol Icematic SW 220 is a frequently cited interchange. Treat these as cross-reference starting points, not automatic substitutions — confirm the viscosity grade and OEM specification for your exact compressor model before ordering.
A: SW220 is available in 1 L, 5 L and 20 L packs. For bulk or scheduled maintenance requirements, share your expected monthly consumption with us and we will confirm pricing, MOQ and lead time.
