Product description
Chevron Capella A 68: Premium Synthetic Compressor Oil
The Chevron Capella A 68 is a high-quality, synthetic compressor oil specifically engineered for ammonia refrigeration systems. Crafted from specially synthesized polyalphaolefin (PAO) base fluids, this lubricant ensures optimal performance at high discharge temperatures. With an ISO Viscosity Grade of 68, it's tailored to meet the demands of modern refrigeration environments.
Key Features
- Efficient Operation: Capella A 68 maintains fluidity at extremely low temperatures due to its exceptionally low pour point of -57°C, preventing wax or deposit formation.
- Reduced Oil Consumption: The low volatility of the PAO base fluid minimises oil carry-over, enhancing heat transfer efficiency.
- Thermal and Chemical Stability: Exhibits excellent stability with ammonia, preventing unwanted sludge or gum deposits.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: Offers a high viscosity index for optimal protection against wear at elevated temperatures.
- Simplified Cold Start-Up: Low viscosity at cold temperatures eases power requirements during start-up, reducing wear and tear.
- Corrosion Protection: Minimal moisture content safeguards against icing and corrosion in refrigeration systems.
Ideal Use Cases
This compressor oil is optimal for both reciprocating and screw ammonia compressors, especially in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems where evaporator temperatures plummet as low as -60°C, and discharge temperatures exceed 100°C. Capella A 68 is approved by leading manufacturers, including ABB Stal Refrigeration AB, Sabroe, and Broedrene Gram, and conforms to DIN 51503 and British Standard 2626/1992.
