Capella HFC

Capella HFC
High performance refrigeration oils for HFC/FE
refrigerants

Capella HFC 32, Capella HFC 55, Capella HFC 100, Capella HFC 170, Capella HFC 220 

Product description
Capella® HFC refrigeration oils are high performance fully
synthetic fluids designed for the lubrication of compressors
used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems and are
blended exclusively with specially selected polyol esters
(POE).
Customer benefits
• Designed for thermal and chemical stability with
environmentally safe hydro fluorocarbon (HFC)
refrigerants R134a, R404a and R410A.
• Formulated for oil-refrigerant miscibility properties with
HFC and FC refrigerants over a wide range of operating
temperatures.
• Helps provide high performance compressor cleanliness
in numerous compressor tests.
• Promotes absence of copper transfer.
• Synthetic lubrication technology.

 

Applications
CAPELLA HFC oils have been specifically developed in
cooperation with major refrigerant compressor
manufacturers worldwide, especially suitable for non-ozone
depleting FC/HFC refrigerants, such as R134a, R404A,
R507, R410A, R407C. Also suitable for hydrocarbon
refrigerants such as propane, polypropylene, and isobutane,
and HFO and HFO/HFC refrigerants.
Capella HFC 170 and HFC 220 are especially suitable for
deep-freeze systems operating with R23 and for systems
operating with hydrocarbon refrigerants (e.g. propane,
polypropylene, isobutene) and R22.
The Capella HFC series is recommended for hermitical,
semi-hermetical and open piston compressors and for
screw-type and turbo-compressors.
Capella HFC oils are especially suited for the first fill and
retrofit lubrication of refrigeration compressors in large food
retails, industrial systems, air conditioning and heat pump
equipment and cooling systems in the transport sector.
Capella HFC series are also suitable for hydrocarbon
refrigerants, such as propane, polypropylene and
isobutane.

Product maintenance and handling
Capella HFC oils are designed to readily absorb
moisture from the surrounding air (hygroscopic
behaviour), which can cause system performance
problems. Capella HFC packs should be kept sealed
until time of use and should not be reused once opened
(to protect against atmospheric humidity).
The performance of Capella HFC can be influenced by a
series of factors, including the specific use, method of
application, the operational environment, component
pre-treatment, and possible external contamination.
Please ensure the proper OEM recommendations are
followed.
