yes or not?

The answer is yes. But only high quality ones.

refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Production of synthetic lubricants was the choice.

Why?

Unlike mineral oils, synthetic oils guarantee an almost absent percentage of humidity,
which therefore ensures a very low incidence in terms of acid formation.

Our lubricants also have high resistance to oxidation and are present with different viscosity
indices (in order to please any type of requests).
Moreover, the synthetic nature of our lubricants gives us the opportunity to design ad hoc
solutions starting from the need of each individual plant and in case of new refrigerants
launched on market.

takes no responsibility for their use. Errecom s.r.l. reserves the right to apply any change at any time and without notice.
Fundamental pluses are also the higher chemical and thermal stability: these features
ensure actually a limited formation of solid and laminated components that may settle within
the plant and interfere with the performances of the compressor. All this is synonymous
with longer compressor life and less power required for the same work at certain rhythms:
in a word, SAVINGS.
Errecom philosophy is based on few, but solid concepts. In addition to our Made in Italy
production quality, we have been working in a green vision, with a constant eye on the
future: our synthetic lubricants have a pollutant impact which is almost null and certainly
much less if compared to a oil mineral (not only in terms of the production process, but also
speaking about disposal at the end of the product life and in case of accidental spilling).

10 - SYNTHETIC VS MINERAL LUBRICANTS

Let’s recap:
• Lower humidity = less acid formation = less risk of compressor breakage;
• High oxidation resistance;
• Several viscosity indices;
• Opportunity to calibrate the formulations of lubricants;
• Higher chemical and thermal stability = Higher savings;
• Lower rate of pollution and environmental impact.

The world of lubrication has recently invested in specialization, in order to meet the needs
of different circuits and many types of gas.

There are several families of synthetic lubricants on the market: POE, PAG and PAO (use
the kind of lubricant suggested by the manufacturer).

Applications.
POE – The polyol esters (POE) are characterized by the excellent lubricity and reduced
solubility. These features allow the usage of low-viscosity lubricants with hydrocarbons.
POE lubricants are used in HVAC&R.

PAG – is the lubricant in the automotive sector, in particular with R134a refrigerant gas.
R134a producers underline how the compatibility between the refrigerant-lubricant mixture
and the plant material change when varying the type of lubricant itself.
The PAG is selected for the vehicles A/C systems for its better compatibility. In case of

PAO – PAO lubricants are stable solutions and therefore compatible with most plastics and
elastomers. They are mostly used in addition to the PAG oils for automotive applications.

OH terminals remain free, allowing the hydroxyl group to have a polar behavior.
These terminals can be protected (end-capped) by different organic molecules. The
choice of the number of protection and the type of protection (if it is present) confers
different properties to the lubricant.

Kinematic viscosity: SFGSJHFSBUJPO MVCSJDBOUT BT XFMM BT BMM PJMT  BSF DMBTTJmFE CZ UIFJS
kinematic viscosity according to ISO Kinematic Viscosity.
The viscosity (such as density) is a chemical/physical feature which depends on the
temperature. The reference temperature is 40°C and the measurement unit is m2/s, but
also the cSt and the mm2/s methods are in use.
Each ISO viscosity is described by its kinematic viscosity at 40°C, with a +/- 10% deviation
from the ISO value.
The viscosity provides an index of the thickness formed by the lubricant and, consequentially,
of the resulting lubricant strength. The viscosity tends to collapse with the increase of
temperature: this decrease is much more contained at higher the viscosity indices.
The viscosity index describes perfectly this temperature dependence and it is calculated

It is necessary to work on the additive package (even more than on the base), before
checking these factors.

normally characterized at 15°C.
The density is expressed in grams on cubic centimeter (g/cm3) and the reference method is
ASTM-D4052. The lubricant density depends strongly on the temperature of the lubricant
itself: the volume actually grows with the increase of temperature.

Water content is determined with the Karl Fischer method (ppm = parts per million)
through a ASTM-E1064 Coulometer. The water level in refrigeration lubricants must be
extremely low in comparison to other oils. In HVAC&R sector lubricants are treated as very
anhydrous (with the addition of drying agents).

Total Acidity determines the amount of acid in a lubricant, since the acid can corrode the
materials it comes in contact with. High acidity levels created by oxidation, hydrolysis or
aging are highly undesirable.

factor is crucial in the choice of the lubricant.
The pour point is determined according to ASTM-D 97. The percentage of refrigerant
dissolved in the lubricant has a perceptible impact on this feature, as it reduces the pour
point. An estimate of the amount of refrigerant that dissolves with the lubricant is made
through the pressure-viscosity-temperature (PVT) graphic art of refrigeration oils, known
as Daniel Plots.

APHA 500. It is determined in accordance with ASTM-D1209. These changes can be
related to the type of additive applied to the lubricant base (in the case of new oils) or to
the presence of contaminants (in the case of waste lubricats).

Miscibility with Refrigerants: the miscibility of the lubricants to the different refrigerants is
analyzed at different temperatures, for different percentages of lubricant in the refrigerant
itself.
It is a fundamental parameter for predicting the transport of oil by the refrigerant gas

return of lubricant to the compressor (due to inadequate lubrication) up to the breakage of
the compressor.

Refrigerant-Lubricant Compatibility: a determining factor for a lubricant is its compatibility

with the refrigerants on the market and the compatibility of the refrigerant gas-lubricant
mixture with the materials that compose the system (such as copper, aluminum and steel).
These compatibility must be constant even at high temperatures and pressures (these are
conditions that emulate the “stress” situations of a plant).

Chemical Stability: a lubricant must be stable in many respects in order to be suitable

for refrigeration applications. In particular, its stability must be excellent to moisture, pH,
oxidation, and have a very low residual catalyst. The presence of residual catalyst (even in
very low quantity) may decrease critically the stability of a lubricant.
Moisture is a particularly damaging factor in synthetic POE and PAG lubricants, that are
hygroscopic and must be well controlled. By forming hydrohalogenic and carbonic acids,
humidity can promote the refrigerants and gases decomposition. This can consequently
cause the corrosion of the system, by freeing metallic oxides which amplify the decay of
the refrigerant and oil.
A correctly synthesized lubricant and additive must have a great resistance to these factors.

Thermal stability: high temperatures accelerate the decay reactions of gas and lubricant.
An excellent thermal aging resistance is therefore one of the key characteristics for
a lubricant that has to keep its peculiarities. It also accelerates the action of chemical
reactions, favoring the decays due to moisture, acidity, to the presence of residues of
reaction and metal of the circuit.

CO2 PAG
Lubricants
PAG are new polyalkylene glycol that guarantee high-performances in AC/R systems with
CO2.
CO2 is a refrigerant with a complex and delicate balance, which requires outstanding
performances to the lubricant.
PAG for CO2 offer a better miscibility with CO2 in a wide range of concentrations and

refrigeration system.
PAG for CO2 have a reduced hygroscopicity (if compared to normal PAG, which is
unprotected to hydroxyl and used with other refrigerants). These oils also have high
chemical stability, thermal and hydrolysis resistance.

CO2 offers unfavorable characteristics in normal refrigeration applications, with a

very high discharging pressure and a very low critical temperature (31°C - 74 bar). This
situation requires sub and supercritical operating conditions in single-stage systems with
delivery pressure exceeding 100 bar. In addition, the energy performance is lower than the
conventional vapor compression process.

Protection terminals technology and protective element choice (Capped or multi-

capped)

Several performance advantages are associated with the use of PAG for CO2 as synthetic
lubricants for refrigeration with CO2. A typical polyalkylene glycol generally consists of
polymer chains terminated with a hydroxyl group that is chemically active at one end. On
the contrary, a protected PAG is a chemically inactive group at both ends of the molecule.
PAG for CO2, based on the "capped PAG" technology, provide effective lubrication for
refrigeration units and compression. Protection technology ("capped" technology) also
provides improved lubricity for CO2 systems.

Lubricant properties
The development of the trans-critical CO2 systems requires special lubricants because of
high pressure and subsequently higher load on the bearings. The extreme PAG pressure
and antiwear properties are superior to those of POE and other synthetic materials, such
as PVEs.

These improved lubricating properties for CO2 systems are obtained as a result of the

In order to simulate as accurately as possible the CO2 pressurized environment, Falex

Stability to hydrolysis
Unprotected polyalkylenglycols hydroxyl are very hygroscopic and can absorb thousand
ppm of water if exposed to humid conditions. Despite this PAG lubricants do not hydrolyze
under normal operating conditions. Therefore problems related to water consumption in
alternative synthetic lubricants (such as esters of polyols) cannot be caused - problems
such as corrosion or ice formation in the expansion/capillary valve.
Due to the replacement of the hydroxyl terminal group with an alkyl species in the PAG 46
for CO2, the hygroscopicity is lower than in a free PAG.

Stability and
Compatibility Test
Errecom lubricants are strictly and constantly monitored to ensure the highest quality
standards. Each lubricant is tested according to the ANSI / ASHRAE 97-2007 standard
method.
The lubricant decomposition is simulated at high working temperature for long periods
and accelerated through the control of temperature, humidity, acidity and the presence of
reaction catalysts (residues from the synthesis process or lost by the main system materials
such as copper, iron or aluminum).
Resistance to thermal oxidation gives an excellent indication of a lubricant life and of its
future behavior in application.

It is prepared by a lubricant-refrigerant mixture, weight 1/1. This is placed in a test tube

together with a small metal sheet: an iron tube is made, as well as a copper and an
aluminum one.
Once everything has been welded, this is brought to 175°C for 14 days.

We also test the compatibility of the materials with the lubricants and their additives through
a method which is similar to the previous one. It provides a lower operating temperature
(130°C) but for a longer time (500 hours). This process is performed for testing other
components, also plastic ones.
Each lubricant is tested in pilot system, with different versions of components and
refrigerants. In this process, we observe the normal plant operation, its performances and
noise.
Through some windows placed along the system you can observe the state of the
circulating refrigerant and lubricant. At the end of the test, the refrigerant and lubricant are

severe operating conditions.
The pursued aims in the development of new Errecom lubricants are:
• Excellent lubricity;
• High viscosity index;
• Low pour point: this feature allows you to expand the temperature range of the product

• High Compatibility with the materials of all kind of systems, both new and old ones (with
a constant attention to their evolution over the time);
• High thermal stability which allows the usage also in closed systems operating at high
temperatures and high pressures without causing the formation of deposits and sludge;
• High oxidative stability that allows extensions of the charge while operating. This avoids
the possibility of early viscousing processes of the product;
• High hydrolytic stability capable of saving the working oil from decomposition processes
even when in presence of small percentages of water;
• Good demulsibility: this property promotes rapid separation of oil from water which has
possibly entered the system. Demulsibility can further inhibit the oxidation process;

VACUUM PUMP HD
Lubricants
High-performance Vacuum Pump HD by Errecom is a lubricant which has been specially
designed to resist the high vacuum.
It is suitable for lubrication of every kind of compressor or vacuum pump (both mono and
multistage).
It can be used: in alternative compressors (which have elevate compressure temperature);
in rotating compressors with screw and with palette; in axial and centrifugal compressors
for bearing lubrication.
Products Ash-Less (that are ash-free) are added to Vacuum Pump HD Lubricant, which
has high anti-wear properties.
The pursued aims in the development of new Errecom lubricants are:
• Excellent lubricity;
• High viscosity index, whose viscosity changes as soon as the temperature changes;
t-PXWPMBUJMJUZBOEIJHInBNNBCJMJUZQPJOUUIFTFGFBUVSFTSFEVDFUIFMVCSJDBOUDPOTVNQUJPO
• Low pour point: this feature allows you to expand the temperature range of the product
usage and ensures easy starting of the oil-hydraulic systems in cold condition;

the system moving “organs”;
• High Compatibility with the materials of all kind of systems, both new and old ones (with
a constant attention to their evolution over the time);
• High thermal stability which allows the usage also in closed systems operating at high
temperatures and high pressures without causing the formation of deposits and sludge;
• High oxidative stability that allows extensions of the charge while operating. This avoids
the possibility of early viscousing processes of the product;
• High hydrolytic stability capable of saving the working oil from decomposition processes
even when in presence of small percentages of water;
• High demulsibility: this property promotes rapid separation of oil from water which has
possibly entered the system. Demulsibility can further inhibit the oxidation process;

intervals;
• Anti-corrosion and anti-rust power to effectively protect all the metal components of the
oil-hydraulic system;
• Anti-foam properties to avoid the presence of foam and air. These are factors that can
