Capella WF
Refrigeration Compressor Oil
Capella® WF is a high quality, essentially wax-free oil for the lubrication of refrigeration and air-conditioning compressors when refrigerants other than HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) are used. Made from special, narrow-cut naphthenic base oils with an extremely low pour point and Freon Floc point.
Applications
- Reciprocating and rotary refrigeration compressors
- Air conditioning systems
- Refrigeration systems using chlorofluoro-carbons (CFCs)
- Refrigeration systems using ammonia, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide or ethylene chloride
For systems containing HFC refrigerants such as HFC 134a, Capella® HFC is recommended.
For large ammonia refrigeration systems, Chevron Capella® P or Caltex Capella® A may provide superior performance.
Capella WF is not recommended for use in breathing air compressors.
Customer benefits
- Helps reduce downtime
Very low pour point and Freon Floc point helps prevent loss of fluidity or formation of wax deposits, for efficient evaporator operation, and cleanliness of equipment lines and refrigerant control devices. Excellent lubricity helps guard against wear of compressor components.
- Helps prolong compressor and seal life
Excellent thermal stability helps minimise the formation of gum, varnish and sludge deposits.
- Prolong oil service life
Excellent oxidation resistance helps reduce oil thickening and deposit formation, contributing to extended oil change intervals.
- Helps reduce costs
Suitability for use with a wide range of refrigerants, helps minimise inventory and helps reduce the chance of misapplication.
