Capella A 68
High performance fully synthetic refrigeration compressor lubricant
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.
Εφαρμογές
- 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 lead to leakage. When there is doubt regarding the compatibility of seals with PAO based Capella A, the equipment manufacturer should be consulted. Capella A may be used with R-22 refrigerant, but only if this is expressly recommended by the compressor manufacturer and where the evaporator temperature is higher than –20°C (R22).
