LUNARIA SH 46 - 68

Compressor

Full-synthetic PAO based oil for ammonia (R 717) refrigerating compressors.

APPLICATIONS
Refrigerating compressors z Lubrication of refrigerating compressors (reciprocating and screw) using ammonia as a
using ammonia as a refrigerant.
refrigerant z PAO (polyalphaolefin) base oils to improve oil drain interval and ensure good
performances even at very low temperature.
z Field of application : evaporator temperature down to -50°C.

SPECIFICATIONS
z APV, BOCK, J&E HALL, GRAM, GRASSO, HOWDEN, SABROE.
OEM approvals/ z NSF-H1 registered
references certificate number: 139826: LUNARIA SH 46
139827: LUNARIA SH 68

ADVANTAGES
Cleanliness and high z High resistance to oxidation in the presence of ammonia. Synthetic base oils and
performances of the additivation system specillay selected to avoid the formation of black sludges (reaction
compressor : between oil and ammonia).
Efficiency of the heat z Low pour point, eliminating the risk of any residual lubricant freezing in the evaporator,
exchangers : thereby providing excellent heat exchange.
Operation cost cutting : z Very high flash point given the low volatility of LUNARIA SH oils: oil consumption is
reduced by 30 to 50 % compared with conventional oils.
z Good compatibility with common elastomers (chloroprene, NBR….).
Storage : z Warning: storage must be done in order to avoid the presence of water within the oil.
Indeed, water could block the evaporator.
