CPI Refrigeration Oil

Available for a wide range of applications, CPI refrigeration oil is a market leading solution for its sector.

Among the largest international suppliers of refrigerant lubricants, CPI Fluid Engineering has developed a comprehensive product line accompanied by cutting edge technology and supports services for a full spectrum of industries and operating conditions.

What applications is CPI refrigeration oil suitable for?

Serving users of refrigeration systems across the globe, CPI has formulated refrigeration oils to keep equipment running effectively in a diverse range of applications. Different oils have been designed with characteristics to answer the heavy demands of industrial and commercial applications, but also light commercial and residential use.

Tailored refrigeration oils from CPI Fluid Engineering

Compatibility is a key concern when matching a refrigeration oil with a system refrigerant. As a result, CPI Fluid engineering has developed focused solutions suited to the different refrigerants in active use today.

This includes oils for eco-friendlier low global warm potential (GWP) and standard refrigerants such as carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and HFO blends through its ECO, NXG and Icematic ranges. It also serves systems using Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant with its Polyolester (POE) based refrigeration lubricant brands, Emkarate RL and Solest.

Properties of CPI refrigeration oils

Refrigeration oils play a crucial role in the effective operation of every refrigeration system.
CPI refrigeration oils are carefully formulated with specific characteristics to answer the industry challenges and environmental condition in different systems where various refrigerants are in use.

For instance, Solest is formulated specifically for service in refrigeration compressor systems employing HFC refrigerants. However, it is also an excellent choice for use in other systems that use HFO and HFC refrigerants (in certain conditions.) This range of refrigeration oils has been designed with sought-after properties for refrigeration systems.

Solest refrigeration oils are thermally stable to extend the active service life of systems and support enhanced refrigeration management generating system efficiency gains. The oils also offer exceptional corrosion protection that reduces system down-time and improves dependability.

Solest has outstanding lubricity that supplies increased oil return but, more importantly, it prolongs compressor lifespan by delivering excellent lubrication levels for bearings. Further properties include its environmentally friendly design, which makes it a match when using a biodegradable oil as an operating requirement. These systems have been manufactured to create the least direct (and indirect) impact on the natural world.

CPI’s Emkarate RL brand also contains lubricants with coveted attributes. Over one billion compressors globally have been filled with the oil to date.

It’s understood that every refrigeration system design demands careful consideration when selecting an oil to mix with the system refrigerant. In refrigeration compressor systems where an HFC refrigerant is in active use, standard mineral oil-based lubricants aren’t compatible. To provide a solution, the Emkarate RL lubricant series was specifically formulated with advantageous features.

These POE-based refrigeration lubricants supply impressive miscibility. To achieve maximum HFC refrigeration system performance, the refrigerant and refrigeration oil must mix to create a clear single phase. After this process is complete, the viscosity of the refrigeration oil is effectively lowered, allowing it to return more efficiently to the system compressor.

Emkarate RL refrigeration oils are also thermally and chemically stable. ASHRAE-97 sealed tube results have proven that these CPI oils provide exceptional stability in use with HFC type refrigerants. Furthermore, they also display no negative effects on materials used in compressor component construction, including metals.

In comparison to traditional mineral oils, lubricants under the Emkarate RL brand offer enhanced physical characteristics. These include pour points, viscosity index (VI) but also fire and flash points for improved operational safety on site.

Overall, the refrigeration oil has qualities that promote higher levels of refrigeration system performance. For example, Emkarate RL supplies improved lubricity compared to mineral oil-based solutions for greater energy efficiency and excellent protection against friction and wear, increasing the reliability of the compressor and how it operates.

Benefits of using CPI refrigeration oils

CPI Fluid Engineering takes pride in its dedication to being an innovator for its industry, and is committed to research and development of new products, technical services and the highest standard of quality control.

The staff technicians are well-versed in a wide range of disciplines including tribology, chemistry and engineering, and possess solid system knowledge, allowing them to create state-of-the art oils offering considerable advantages.

CPI refrigeration oils are designed to promote smooth functionality and reduced mechanical downtime to enhance the reliability of refrigeration systems. The cutting-edge oils are engineered to be low maintenance solutions that can remain in use for longer, while delivering high levels of performance. This means that users can reduce the maintenance costs associated with running systems and decrease how much oil is consumed onsite, improving their bottom line.

Clean operation is essential in refrigeration systems, as unwanted contamination can impact operation and efficiency. CPI refrigeration oils can help operators keep systems cleaner and drastically reduce the harmful buildup of sludge, varnish and other debris.

CPI’s refrigeration oils are also engineered to offer low volatility, which has exceptional operating gains like less oil top ups to reduce oil use by mitigating oil thinning. This leads to improved protection for parts, decreasing repair time and costs and extending the service lifespan of equipment.

Food grade CPI oils are available for refrigeration systems used in processing facilities in the food and beverage industry, as well as oils with Halal and Kosher certification to suit religious diets.
