Ammonia refrigerant compressor oil

KAA refrigerant ammonia oil

Ammonia refrigeration maintenance requires rigorous, regular inspection to ensure safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Key tasks include daily leak checks, lubricating compressors, checking oil levels, and cleaning heat exchangers. A preventative approach, including prompt repair of leaks and trained staff, is essential to minimize risks

Management and maintenance of a system that uses natural refrigerants requires particular attention and skills to guarantee the safety, efficiency and durability of the system itself. Although ammonia is by far the most efficient refrigerant fluid, ammonia is also known for its toxicity and flammability, which requires careful management and rigorous maintenance by highly qualified personnel.

Maintenance, in refrigeration systems in general and even more so in ammonia systems, is essential to ensure that the system operates safely and efficiently. Regular maintenance can help prevent unexpected breakdowns, reduce operating costs and extend the life of the system

Molylub RCF refrigerant hydrocarbon oil

The specificity of a lubricant for refrigerating a compressor is that it permanently contains a small quantity of refrigerant. The lubrication must thus be good in the presence of this small quantity of refrigerant. In the case of ammonia, there is a total immiscibility between the lubricant and the refrigerant; it is thus enough for the lubricant to have a pour point lower than the temperature of the evaporator to make sure of its proper return to the compressor.

Molylub RCF series are high quality, hydrotreated naphthenic mineral oils without additives. Specific selection of the base oil gives a range of products specially suited for the efficient lubrication of refrigerator compressors.

Molylub RCF series are designed for the lubrication of compressors with ammonia (R717) as refrigerant. It can also be used when hydrocarbon (e.g. R600a) are the refrigerant. It may be used with halogenated hydrocarbon (R12, R22)

It is important to organize correct maintenance planning with professionals who are able to manage and organize ordinary and non-ordinary interventions.

The first step is to schedule periodic inspections and constant checks of the machine to identify any anomalies or any type of malfunction. To constantly monitor the machines remotely, Zudek uses the Telematik system, our telemetry service that allows you to monitor the operation of the machine remotely. In this way our technicians are able to continuously detect the machine parameters and the customer does not have to worry about it.
