Product description

Capella HFC is a high performance fully synthetic

compressor lubricant designed with polyolester technology

for use in refrigeration and air conditioning compressor

systems. This product has demonstrated a significant

contribution to keep-clean performance under numerous

tests.

Customer benefits

• Synthetic lubrication technology

• Polyolester technology offers thermal and chemical

stability when used with environmentally responsible

hydro fluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, especially R134a

• Promotes oil/refrigerant miscibility with R134a over a

wide operational temperature range

• Synthetic lubrication technology contributes to

compressor system keep-clean performance

• Aids resistance to copper transfer

Applications

• Capella HFC lubricants have been specifically developed

in cooperation with major refrigerant compressor

manufacturers worldwide, for use with chlorine-free

HFC/FC refrigerants, including R134a, R404a or R410a

• Capella HFC lubricants are especially suited for the firstfill

and retrofit lubrication of refrigeration compressors in

large food retail units, industrial systems, air conditioning,

heat pump equipment and cooling systems in the

transport sector

Note: Capella HFC lubricants readily absorb moisture from

the surrounding air, which can cause system performance

problems. Capella HFC packages should be kept sealed

until time of use, and should not be reused once opened.

• Synthetic lubrication technology

• Offers thermal and chemical stability with R134a

• Miscible with R134a over a wide temperature range

• Keep-clean system performance

• Aids resistance to copper transfer
