LUNARIA SH is used for the lubrication of piston and screw compressors with ammonia as refrigerant (not miscible). The polyalphaolefin-based base oil used results in an extended oil change interval and excellent performance at low temperatures. Suitable for evaporation temperatures down to -50°C. Suitable for applications with occasional food contact (NSF H1).
Advantages
- Based on fully synthetic PAO
- For piston and screw compressors
- For ammonia refrigerant (R717)
- Suitable for food contact (NSF H1 registered)
- High oxidation resistance with ammonia as refrigerant
- Suitable for use under critical conditions (e.g. air ingress in the system)
- No sludge formation
- very low volatility results in reduced oil consumption of 30 % to 50 % compared to conventional oils
- Very low pour point prevents frozen residues in the evaporator
- Good compatibility with standard sealing materials (polychloroprene, NBR etc.)
