PETRONAS FRIGOR M68 A

High quality paraffinic refrigeration oil

PETRONAS FRIGOR M 68 A is a refrigeration oil for ammonia systems (R717) formulated with high quality paraffinic base oil and specially selected additives to increase system efficiency, reduce fluid consumption and maintenance costs.

PETRONAS FRIGOR M 68 A has been engineered to reduce oil volatility, their solubility with ammonia, and offer maximum equipment protection by increased thermal and oxidative stability.

Applications

PETRONAS FRIGOR M 68 A is recommended for use in:

  • Refrigeration systems using ammonia (NH3)
  • Reciprocating and screw compressors

Features and Benefits

Features Benefits
Low oil volatility Helps reducing oil consumption and carryover that promotes sludge and deposit formation in evaporators, lowering maintenance costs.
Low oil solubility in ammonia Limiting oil viscosity reduction for a reduced wear and higher equipment protection.
Excellent thermal and oxidative stability Preventing sludge and deposits formation for longer oil life, minimal maintenance practices and optimal operation of the compressor, heat exchanger and expansion valves.
Proven technology Widely used by leading compressor manufacturers for refrigeration systems, guaranteeing excellent performance in all applications for which PETRONAS FRIGOR S is suitable.
