Marine Synthetic Blends for Refrigeration Systems typically include the following key specifications and technical properties:
Size: Available in various container sizes (e.g., 1-quart, 1-gallon, 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums).
Grade: ISO VG 32, 46, 68 (common viscosity grades for refrigeration applications).
Viscosity: Ranges from 32 to 68 cSt at 40°C, depending on the grade.
Buoyancy: Not typically specified, as these oils are designed for lubrication, not buoyancy.
Material: Synthetic base oils (PAO, PAG, or ester-based) with additives for oxidation stability, corrosion resistance, and moisture control.
Compatibility: Suitable for use with HFC, HCFC, and ammonia (NH3) refrigerants.
Flash Point: Typically above 200°C (392°F) for fire safety.
Pour Point: Below -40°C (-40°F) for low-temperature operation.
Density: Approximately 0.85–0.95 g/cm³ at 15°C.
Certifications: May meet standards such as ISO 6743-3, DIN 51503, or OEM specifications (e.g., Copeland, Carrier).
