Castrol Aircol™ LPT is a refrigeration compressor lubricant formulated from highly refined naphthenic base oils for use in both large and industrial and small refrigeration units. Aircol LPT is formulated to function as a lubricant and coolant, as well as a sealant in refrigerating compressors. It maintains good lubrication properties at the high temperatures reached during the compression phase and good fluidity at the low temperatures within the evaporators. Excellent lubrication of the moving parts in the compressor.

Aircol SN were developed to cope with the severe operating conditions experienced in reciprocating air compressors operating at high compression ratios and high discharge temperatures of up to 220°C. Under these conditions, Aircol offer a much reduced carbon forming tendency and extended oil life when compared to mineral oil. Whilst Aircol SN was primarily intended for the use in reciprocating air compressors, it may also be used in certain types of turbochargers, where it will provide significant in-service benefits when compared with mineral based lubricants.

These oils are also suitable for use in compressor units operating at normal operating conditions, with the maximum air discharge temperature =/< 100°C.

Castrol Aircol™ SW range of synthetic refrigeration lubricants are formulated from polyolester base stocks. The range are specifically designed for use with refrigeration systems using environmentally friendly HFC refrigerants, in particular R134a.The synthetic base stocks used in the Aircol SW range are fully miscible with HFCs, in particular R134a, even at temperatures well below the minimum likely to be encountered in service. The Aircol SW grades have been formulated to enhance hydrolytic stability, load carrying and inhibition against copper plating. They are wax free and hence have very low pour points. This ensures the evaporator remains clean (consequent efficient heat transfer) and reduces the risk of pipe blockages.

This is particularly important in applications where sliding contact is high. The use of a PAG base stock provides inherently high Viscosity Index (VI) and low pour points making these products suitable for use over a wide temperature range. Alphasyn PG meets the requirements of most OEM’s that allow the use of PAG based gear oils
