Good oil selection is critical in any refrigeration system to ensure proper long-term compressor protection and that the equipment operates at optimal efficiency. The severe circumstances of CO2 applications necessitate the use of wax-free synthetic lubricants, and while there are various synthetic base oil options available, each has its own set of oil management issues.

 

Polyol ester (POE) base oil products are frequently used as a solution because of their greater CO2 miscibility, which simplifies oil return management. The main issue with POE-based lubricants is that they are highly hygroscopic, meaning they seek moisture from their environment to absorb.

 

Any amount of water can harm a closed loop CO2 system, as ice development can destroy valves and other components. Hydrolysis, a chemical reaction that breaks down the POE oil and results in the creation of highly corrosive carbonic acid, is exacerbated by excessive water.

 

In an ideal world, a system would be completely free of all impurities, including moisture, but this is just not possible. The lubricant must be engineered to resist chemical reaction with the water it comes into contact with before, during, or after installation.

 

Summit’s RPE-744 Series of entirely synthetic POE lubricants are designed to provide long-term solutions that can survive the extreme conditions found in CO2 refrigerant applications. 

The RPE-744 Series offers strong chemical, thermal, and hydrolytic stability to defend against product deterioration in the presence of pollutants, in addition to outstanding wear protection and high corrosion resistance.

Recent uncertainties and reshaping of the world economies has reinforced the need for localized efforts to do more with less. As such it is increasingly important that all systems and operations run at top efficiencies with minimal maintenance downtime. 

For closed-loop refrigeration systems, maximizing efficiency begins at the heart of the system with proper compressor lubrication. Refrigeration lubricants are responsible for many functions, all of which ultimately contribute to overall operation efficiency, including: lubricating internal parts for wear protection, removing heat generated during compression, acting as a fluid seal, inhibiting rust and corrosion within the system, and cleaning the system. 

Although once widely popular, naphthenic refrigeration oils are prone to creating operational inefficiencies due to excessive oil carryover and sludge formation. Today’s operation

al requirements call for advanced lubrication

 solutions designed to outperform the shortcomings of naphthenic products.

Summit RHT Series refrigeration compressor oils are highly refined, hydrotreated ammonia compressor lubricants specially designed to function under the stringent requirements of closed-loop ammonia refrigeration systems. Summit’s RHT Series lubricants offer superior resistance to thermal and chemical degradation to keep your refrigeration system running clean and at top efficiency.

RHT Series answers a lot of the shortcomings that naphthenic oils produce. The performance advantages of RHT Series lubricants versus naphthenic oils include:

  • Reduced oil carryover
  • Superior cleanliness
  • Superior chemical and thermal stability
  • Enhanced wear protection
  • Lower foaming tendency
  • Extended oil drain interval capability
  • Less oil make-up

Summit has spent years refining the formulations of our refrigeration lubricants to meet specific industry needs. Contact the experts at Summit on how to position your refrigeration system with a cleaner solution for improved efficiency and higher productivity with RHT Series lubricants.

Spend less time cleaning strainers, replacing filters and draining oil. Now is the right time to update and upgrade your refrigeration system to Summit RHT Series lubricants.
