LUBENZ INDS REFRIGERATION OIL 46 ISO 46 are high performance lubricants formulated from extremely low wax naphthenic oil
primarily intended for use in refrigeration compressors where an uninhibited oil is required. It is recommended for use in
refrigeration compressors using ammonia, CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) and HCFC (hydrochloro-fluorocarbon) refrigerants
where the evaporator temperature ranges down to approximately -35°F or -37°C. It is compatible with most refrigerants
except sulphur dioxide & are not recommended for use with HFC (hydroflurocarbon) refrigerants.

Applications
APPLICATIONS
LUBENZ INDS REFRIGERATION OILare designed specifically for cylinder and bearing lubrication in most conventional
refrigeration compressors and for other machinery operating at sub-zero temperatures. Typical applications include large
industrial reciprocating and rotary refrigeration compressors, industrial applications such as food freezing and cold
storage plants, marine refrigeration applications. Used primarily with ammonia refrigerant, but also used with selected
halocarbons.
PROPERTIES
LUBENZ INDS REFRIGERATION OILhave low pour points and excellent fluidity at very low temperatures by virtue of
being almost wax-free, consequently, use of these oils helps to ensure that evaporator tubes are kept clean to improve
heat transfer and to reduce downtime for maintenance. They have good chemical stability and are suitable both for
cylinder and bearing lubrication. Moisture content is very low, so every precaution should be taken to keep them dry. This
helps prevent the risk of ice formation in expansion valves and limits the risks of oil degradation and copper plating.
