Product Information

Versatility: Pag oil can be used in different applications, including automotive air conditioning systems, refrigeration systems, and industrial machinery. Its versatility makes it a popular choice among industries. Although PAG oils have long been used as industrial lubricants, recent work has led to the development of PAG lubricants for use in equipment in the food processing industry. These products are known as food-grade approved lubricants. It is a synthetic oil that has excellent lubrication properties, a high viscosity index, and good resistance to oxidation. When refilling refrigerant and performing any work on the refrigerant circuit, please observe the following: Compatibility considerations: Although poe oil is compatible with a wide range of refrigerants, it may not be suitable for all systems. It is crucial to consider the specific requirements of the system and consult with experts to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.

Because mineral oil and PAG oil cannot be mixed, another A/C compressor oil was needed to bridge the gap for system conversions. The transitional solution was polyol ester oil (“ester” oil or POE). Ester oil is often called “retrofit oil” because it mixes with both R-12 and R-134a. Like PAG oil, Ester oil is a synthetic lubricant. Ester molecules are very stable and have excellent performance characteristics in both high and low temperature environments. Ester oil comes in only one viscosity so it does not include the viscosity numbers associated with PAG oils. FJC offers Ester oil with Extreme Cold and Fluorescent Dye additives. Since R-12 was phased out in 1994, vehicles newer than 1995 typically do not contain ester oil as the lubricant for the A/C system. Pag oil possesses a low viscosity, enabling it to flow freely throughout the system, delivering adequate lubrication to all components.To determine how much Pag oil to add, you first need to know the original compressor’s oil capacity. You can find this information in your equipment manual or on the old compressor if you save it. The following is a list of recommended lubricants by compressor manufacturer. you can identify the compressor mfr. by looking for an ID tag or label on the unit (or see the reference illustrations at the right and left): Pag oil offers better compatibility with r134a refrigerant, making it the recommended choice for automotive air conditioning systems using this refrigerant. It also excels in systems with tight clearances and high-temperature differentials. PAG polymers, first discovered more than 150 years ago, saw their breakthrough application occur during World War ll. At that time, both fires on U.S. Navy ships and aircraft were occurring due to the use of mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids. Research at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (USNRL) was begun to develop hydraulic fluids that would be more fire-resistant than the ones used at the time based on mineral oil. PAG oil, or Polyalkylene Glycol, is specially created for the AC compressors of automobiles. The fully synthetic hygroscopic oil is a compressor lubricator for the AC units that use R-134a refrigerant. PAG is a synthetic oil for AC compressors. (Photo: instructables)

Polyalkylene glycol can be designed to form a wide variety of polymers. The design of the polymer can be tailored to the lubricant application to provide, for example, the desired viscosity, pour point, solubility and other attributes. hybrid vehicles with an electrically-driven compressor. POE oil has greater insulating properties than PAG and can help to protect the insulation on the windings, preventing electrical leakage. Using the wrong oil in hybrid vehicles may allowIf there is a leak in the system, fix it first before adding oil to it. Otherwise, the system will require more oil soon and may lead to the failure of some parts. What Is PAG Oil? Polyolester, ester or POE oil, has also been around for some time, however, up until now it has not been recommended by many manufacturers because it does not perform well in high heat, load conditions and it absorbs moisture. The one exception is

PAG oilsoffer quality lubricity, high natural viscosity index and good temperature stability. PAG base fluids are available in both water soluble and insoluble forms, and in a wide range of viscosity grades. They offer low volatility in high-temperature applications and can be used in high- and low-temperature environments. They are commonly used as quenchants, metalworking fluids, food-grade lubricants and as lubricants in hydraulic and compressor equipment. However, the water soluble PAG oils are incompatible with petroleum oil, and care must be taken in transitioning equipment from hydrocarbon oils to PAG oils. PAG oils are best known as compressor lubricants. PAGs are also the lubricant of choice in high-pressure natural gas and ethylene compression, where the viscosity stability of hydrocarbon-based lubricants is adversely affected due to solubility of the gas in the fluid. Newer vehicles with R-1234yf A/C systems require a special PAG YF 46 or PAG YF 100 compressor oil, which one depends on the compressor and the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer. However, not all synthetic lubricants are created equal. There are multiple formulations behind the science of synthetic lubricants that can complicate making the right choice for any application. Recent advancements in additive technology and synthetic base fluid manufacturing are pushing the performance edges that make current lubricant offerings better than ever.

The Development of Polyalkylene Glycol

Pag oil, also known as polyalkylene glycol oil, is a commonly used lubricant in various applications. It offers several advantages and benefits, but like any other product, it also has its disadvantages and limitations. In this section, we will explore the pros and cons of pag oil, as well as its impact on system performance and efficiency. Advantages Of Using Pag Oil In Various Applications: Pag oil provides excellent lubrication, enhancing the efficiency and lifespan of the hvac system components. It is also compatible with modern refrigerants like r134a, r404a, and r410a, offering flexibility in different applications. A renewed emphasis on energy conservation has increased interest in energy-efficient gear lubricants. For example, the extreme demands of gear lubrication in wind turbines are being met by PAG oils.
