Synthetic lubricants for HVAC systems from FUCHS LUBRICANTS SOUTH AFRICA

A range of synthetic lubricants for use in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems is available from global lubricant manufacturer FUCHS. Its RENISO product range includes synthetic lubricants based on polyol esters (POE), polyalphaolefin (PAO), alkyl benzenes (AB) and polyalkylene glycols (PAG), as well as selected mineral oils with outstanding low-temperature properties. There is always a suitable RENISO refrigeration oil in the FUCHS portfolio, both for conventional hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) such as R134a, R410A or R407C, and natural refrigerants such as NH3, CO2 or hydrocarbons. In addition, there are developments of new hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerants such as R1234ze and R1234yf. “Their mixtures are currently tested in our development laboratories,” says Ashleigh Pollen, Industrial and Speciality Manager, FUCHS LUBRICANTS SOUTH AFRICA.
