Description

Castrol Aircol LPT 68 is a high‑quality refrigeration compressor oil formulated from highly refined naphthenic base oils and tailored for use in a wide range of refrigeration systems — from large industrial plants to smaller domestic units. It is engineered to perform three essential functions in the system: lubricate moving compressor components, help cool the compressor, and act as a sealant to support oil sealing in the refrigerant cycle.

This grade maintains good fluidity even at low evaporator temperatures, ensuring effective oil return and lubrication throughout the refrigeration system. At the same time, it preserves strength and lubricity at the high temperatures encountered during compression, helping protect bearings and other mechanical components. The oil also exhibits strong chemical stability, which helps prevent reactions with common refrigerants that could otherwise form harmful breakdown products.

Aircol LPT 68 is particularly suitable for refrigeration compressors running with ammonia (NH₃) or various halogenated hydrocarbon refrigerants, and is often chosen in applications where consistent low‑temperature flow and reliable compressor protection are key.

Key Features & Benefits

  • ISO VG 68 viscosity: Provides balanced lubricant film strength suitable for many refrigeration compressor types.

  • Highly refined mineral (naphthenic) base: Good thermal and chemical stability under typical refrigeration conditions.

  • Excellent low‑temperature flow: Supports effective oil return even at cold evaporator temperatures.

  • Good lubrication and cooling: Helps protect moving parts and assists with heat dissipation in compressor operation.

  • Chemical stability with refrigerants: Minimises formation of breakdown products with ammonia or halogenated refrigerants.

  • Large‑capacity 208 L drum: Ideal for industrial installations and systems with significant oil requirements.

Typical Specifications

  • Viscosity @ 40 °C: ~68–69 mm²/s
