Refrigeration Synthetic Oil R134a/R404A

Description

1. Product Overview

Refrigeration Synthetic Oil R134a/R404A is a high-performance polyolester (POE) lubricant designed to maximize the efficiency and lifespan of HFC-based refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It is primarily used in industrial cold storage, food processing, supermarket rack systems, and transport refrigeration. The key value proposition lies in its exceptional miscibility with R134a and R404A, ensuring oil return to the compressor and preventing sludge formation. Strategically, this product is critical as industries transition away from HCFCs toward HFCs and low-GWP alternatives, where POE oils are mandatory for system reliability.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Polyolester (POE) base stock, fully synthetic

• Purity level: ≥99.5% (anhydrous, acid value ≤0.02 mg KOH/g)

• Physical characteristics: Clear to light yellow liquid, viscosity grades ISO VG 22, 32, 46, 68, 100; density ~0.97–1.00 g/cm³ at 20°C

• Packaging options: 1L, 5L, 20L pails; 200L drums; 1,000L IBC totes

• Shelf life: 24 months in unopened, sealed containers stored below 40°C and <70% humidity

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Industrial refrigeration (cold storage, ice rinks, food processing): Ensures reliable compressor lubrication at evaporating temperatures as low as -40°C without wax precipitation.

• Commercial HVAC and supermarket rack systems: Compatible with scroll, screw, and reciprocating compressors using R404A, reducing valve sticking and bearing wear.

• Transport refrigeration (reefer containers, truck/trailer units): Withstands vibration and wide load swings; lower hygroscopic tendency compared to standard POEs reduces acid formation.

• Why better than alternatives: Outperforms mineral or alkylbenzene oils by offering >3x longer oil change intervals and <15% lower energy consumption due to reduced frictional losses.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Produced under continuous process control with batch-level GC-MS testing; each shipment includes Certificate of Analysis.

• Supply reliability: Dual-sourced raw materials and buffer stock held in three regional warehouses (Americas, EMEA, APAC).

• Logistics capability: Direct container loading from plant to port; lead time 7–14 days globally.

• Price competitiveness: Tiered pricing for contract volumes (≥20MT annually) with fuel surcharge caps.

• Sustainability: Fully recyclable packaging; low-GWP compatible; no chlorine or heavy metals.

• Technical support: Free compatibility testing with existing system oil; OEM cross-reference guide provided.

5. Commercial & Supply Information
