VESTA N REFRIGERATION OIL

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

US LUBE Vesta N Refrigeration Oil is specially designed to function under the stringent requirements of
closed-loop ammonia refrigeration systems. It is formulated from specially hydrotreated refined paraffinic base
oils in combination with additives selected to provide excellent high temperature and oxidation stability for long
service life in ammonia refrigeration compressor system. It give us a value-added benefits in the areas of improved
system efficiency and higher productivity.

US LUBE Vesta N Refrigeration Oil has been specially optimised for use in systems where oil separation is required.
It is recommended for use in open-, semi-open and hermetic compressors in domestic, commercial and industrial
refrigeration systems. It can be used in both rotary and reciprocating compressor types. US LUBE Vesta N
Refrigeration Oil is applied for ammonia (R717) based refrigeration systems where it offers excellent performance,
even under high compressor discharge temperatures, or down to evaporation temperatures of -30° C. It can also
be used in systems using hydrocarbons such as propane (R290).

US LUBE Vesta N Refrigeration Oil is not recommended for use with CFC, HCFC or HFC refrigerants such as R12, R22
or R134a.

APPLICATIONS / BENEFITS

• Superior Cleanliness.
• Minimizes deposit formation.
• Enhanced wear protection.
• Resists oxidation and thermal stability.
• Extended oil drain interval capability.
• Lower foaming tendency.
