Recommended Uses

Capella HFC is recommended for use in refrigeration compressors using the new generation of HFC refrigerants such as R134a, R404a, R507, etc. As Capella HFC is sensitive to humidity, packaging must be kept closed ａnd stored in a dry environment. Capella HFC has been recognized by major worldwide compressor manufacturers including Bitzer, Bock, Carrier, Danfoss, Dorin, Electrolux, Embraca/Aspera, Frigopol, Gram, Grasso, Maneurop, Sabroe, ABB Stal ａnd Sulzer.

 

Performance Benefits

1. Oxidation Stability 

Resists oxidation at high temperatures, guaranteeing a long service life.

 

2. Detergent Properties 

Demonstrated excellent compressor cleanliness as well as a complete absence of copper transfer in numerous compressor tests.

 

3. Thermal ａnd Chemical Stability 

Provides excellent thermal ａnd chemical stability in the presence of the new environmentally safe hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants.

 

4. Miscibility 

Exhibits excellent oil-refrigerant miscibility properties with HFC-refrigerants over a wide range of operating temperatures.

 

5. Lubricity 

Provides excellent lubricity, even in the presence of refrigerants.

 

Typical test data are average values only. Minor variations which do not affect product performance are expected in normal manufacturing. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the products are used in the applications for which they are intended. (November, 2011)
