  • First to create simulation programs to predict the solubility and viscosity of gases in Compressor lubricants.
  • First to formulate PAG-type lubricants that are virtually insoluble with normal alkane hydrocarbons.
  • First to develop specialty additives for PAG lubricants to inhibit hydrogen sulfide corrosion
  • First to apply food-grade PAO lubricants for use with carbon dioxide and other gases such as olefins

Lubricants for
                            Refrigeration System

Lubricants for Refrigeration System

Refrigeration Systems have been used in wide range of industries like food, pharma, breweries, meat processing plant, beverages, , cold storage , air conditioning systems used in industries, houses and cars. Refrigeration Compressor oil is used in a refrigeration system to lubricate the Compressor and keep the refrigeration unit running smoothly. Special formulations of oil are required to lubricate the internal components of a Compressor.

Criteria to select a refrigeration Compressor oil

  • Type of Compressor
  • Type of refrigerant and the miscibility with lubricating oil

BVA has a range of refrigeration Compressor oils suiting the refrigeration system in use. BVA line of refrigeration lubricants has been specifically formulated to provide the highest level of performance and protection possible. R & D team has achieved this by the understanding of the complex chemistry of lubrication, but also by the understanding of the mechanics of refrigeration

POE

ADVANTAGES

  • Excellent chemical stability

    when in the presence of refrigerant and other Compressor materials.
  • Good thermal stability

    to ensure good performance at high temperatures as well as excellent low temperature properties to prevent congealing in the evaporator.
  • Wax-free to prevent floc problems

    in the evaporator and expansion valve.

Lubricants for Ammonia refrigeration system

BVA HTP -717 Series

These are 2 stage hydrotreated /hydrocracked oils that are specially designed lubricants for use in ammonia refrigeration systems. They are highly stable fluids, specially formulated so the fluids do not react with ammonia. A specialized additive formulation, blended with two stage hydrocracked base stocks, gives them excellent oxidation resistance, high viscosity, film strength at operating temperatures, fast separation from ammonia and contaminants such as water. This helps in minimize the amount of oil that migrates into the system.

Their non-sludging and oxidation resistant properties are the perfect choice for ammonia systems. HTP - 717 Series type oils meet or exceed the required specifications of major refrigeration Compressor manufacturers for ammonia applications such as APV Baker, Bitzer, Copeland, FES #1, Frick #3 and #9, IIKA Mafa Gram, Grasso, Howden, Sabroe, Sullair, Vilter OEM Refrigeration Oil, York C and E. The 717P technology is often used as an OEM original factory fill or as the preferred choice for service fill. BVA HTP 717 is available in other viscosity grades as well as a special low temperature version.

    APPLICATIONS

  • Lubricant/coolant for refrigeration Compressor applications.
  • First to formulate PAG-type lubricants that are virtually insoluble with normal alkane hydrocarbons.
  • Used in selected CO2 applications.
  • Lubricant/coolant for selected process and gas Compressors
  • Typical applications include light hydrocarbons and natural gas Compressors.

LOW VOLATILITY

They perform better than naphthenic Compressor oil , because they don't have unsaturated hydrocarbons and sulphur . HTP 717 is stripped of 99.9% aromatics. and thus HTP 717 68 has lower volatility . Lower volatility influences the amount of oil vapor carryover with the ammonia gas past the separator.

POE

LOW OIL CARRY OVER

Low volatility leads to reduced oil carry over to evaporator. High volatility oils increase consumption which leads to carbon and sludge buildup.

LOW MISCIBILITY WITH AMMONIA

The chemical miscibility of the refrigerantlubricant pair is a good indicator of how well the refrigerant will help move the oil around the system. HTP 717 is formulated for minimum mixing of oil in the refrigerant . If lubricating oil is miscible with ammonia, it would lead to increase in viscosity of oil .

Low miscibility with ammonia, eventually reduces the consumption of oil and thus indirectly reducing the oil costs. It also reduces the amount of oil downstream from the Compressor (oil which must then be removed from the low side of the system).

BVA ALKYL SERIES

A wax-free, alkylated benzene-based lubricant, that does not contain paraffin chains that cause floc properties. BVA Alkyl Series has excellent miscibility with R-22. The BVA Alkyl Series is miscible with some of the new interim refrigerants such as MP-39, MP-52, MP-66, HP-80 and HP-81. It also makes retrofitting easier and more effective. BVA Alkyl Series oil offers excellent thermal stability and chemical stability. Due to its compatibility with mineral oil it can be used in its place or added to mineral oil.

They are used in low temperature applications where mineral oil does not have enough low temperature properties or in system where oil return was a problem.

BVA PRO CO2 SERIES

BVA already had a series of air Compressor lubricants designed to work with carbon dioxide. The same technology has been used to design for automotive a/c Compressors. It is available in these viscosities - 46 and 68

BVA POE -C SERIES

BThe special type of polyol ester used in these products has been found to offer less dilution and higher viscosity for better lubricity at higher Compressor operating pressures and temperatures, and lower viscosity and improved miscibility at lower temperatures. The result is improved lubrication and compression sealing efficiency and better oil return when compared to other types of POE based products. RPOE C series is designed for carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon refrigeration. It is available in these viscosities - 55, 68, 85, 110 and 170
