Capella WF
High performance refrigeration compressor fluids
Capella® WF refrigeration compressor oils are a range of high performance fluids designed for the lubrication of compressors used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
Applications
- Capella WF oils are recommended for refrigeration compressors and air conditioning systems operating with fluorinated hydrocarbon refrigerants or ammonia. They are suitable for systems running on refrigerants where minimum evaporator temperatures reach approximately –45°C (R12), –35°C (R22) and –25°C (R502).
- These fluids are designed to help provide reliable operation in industrial refrigeration, commercial systems, and air conditioning equipment across a range of temperature conditions.
Customer benefits
- Formulated to deliver high performance thermal stability in the very low temperature conditions encountered in latest-generation refrigeration and air conditioning compressors.
- Promotes stable compressor operation over extended service intervals with minimal downtime.
- Designed for chemically stable performance in the presence of ammonia and fluorinated hydrocarbons such as R12 and R22, helping to reduce varnish and sludge formation over long operating periods.
- Formulated to help minimise water content, contributing to corrosion protection, ice-free operation, and extended equipment service life.
- Supports efficient system cleanliness and long-term lubricant stability.
