Gargoyle Arctic Oil 300 is a high-quality, naphthenic mineral-based refrigeration compressor oil, specially formulated for use in ammonia refrigeration systems and certain halocarbon systems. It is designed to provide outstanding low-temperature properties, excellent chemical stability, and reliable lubrication under demanding refrigeration conditions.
Key Features:
Excellent Low-Temperature Performance: Maintains fluidity in cold environments, ensuring effective lubrication and oil circulation.
Good Refrigerant Compatibility: Especially suited for ammonia (NH₃) systems; limited compatibility with halocarbon refrigerants (consult OEM).
High Chemical Stability: Reduces the risk of sludge formation, deposit build-up, and equipment wear.
Low Wax Content: Prevents blockages in evaporators and expansion valves at low temperatures.
Applications:
Ammonia-based industrial refrigeration systems (e.g., cold storage, food processing)
Reciprocating and rotary refrigeration compressors
Marine refrigeration equipment
