Emkarate RL 68H is a synthetic polyol ester (POE) lubricant made for refrigeration and air-conditioning compressors. Specifically, it suits systems that run on HFC refrigerants, and it works for both initial fill and service fill. Pamon Ventures supplies this compressor oil to technicians, contractors and facility managers across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

The “ISO VG 68” rating means the oil falls in the 68 cSt viscosity grade at 40 °C. Viscosity is simply how thick the oil is, and it decides how well the oil film protects moving parts. As a result, the right grade matters as much as the right brand.

6. Why Choose a Synthetic POE Refrigeration Oil?

Compressors depend on a stable oil film under heat, pressure and constant refrigerant contact. This lubricant delivers that stability in several ways.

• Wear protection: It protects both steel and aluminium surfaces inside the compressor.
• Longer system life: Consequently, less wear supports longer service intervals and better efficiency.
• Low-temperature flow: The pour point is −45 °C. In other words, the oil keeps flowing at very low temperatures.
• Steady viscosity: A viscosity index of 118 shows the oil thins less as temperatures rise. (Viscosity index measures how much viscosity changes with temperature.)
• Chemical and thermal stability: Moreover, the oil resists breakdown over a wide operating temperature range.

7. Applications

Use this POE compressor oil where the compressor maker specifies an ISO VG 68 POE lubricant. Typical uses include:

• Refrigeration compressors running on HFC refrigerants
• Air-conditioning compressors in HFC systems
• Initial (factory or first) fill of new compressors
• Service fill after repairs, oil changes or component replacement
• Cold rooms, display chillers and commercial refrigeration plant, where the OEM approves POE ISO VG 68

8. How to Use It: Initial Fill and Service Fill

First, check the compressor nameplate or manual for the approved oil type and charge quantity. Next, confirm that it calls for an ISO VG 68 POE oil. If the system previously ran on a different oil type, follow the compressor manufacturer’s changeover procedure.

During charging, keep the container closed until you are ready to use it. Then transfer the oil with a clean, dry pump or charging hose. Finally, reseal any part-used container straight away. For guidance on matching oil to your equipment, seeour refrigeration and HVAC spares range → HVAC-R.

9. Purity, Thermal Stability and Safe Handling

Purity matters inside a sealed refrigeration circuit. For example, this oil has a typical water content below 50 ppm (parts per million). Its Total Acid Number is just 0.03 mgKOH/g, which indicates very low acidity when new. Additionally, the flash point of 280 °C shows good resistance to ignition from heat.

POE oils are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air. Therefore, store containers tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving oil exposed during service work.

Safety precautions:

• Wear gloves and eye protection when handling.
• Avoid prolonged skin contact and wash after handling.
• Keep away from open flames and high heat sources.
• Dispose of used oil through an approved waste handler in line with local regulations.

13. Frequently Asked Questions

Which refrigerants is this oil designed for?

It is formulated for compressors using HFC refrigerants. However, always confirm the exact refrigerant and oil pairing with your compressor manufacturer.

Can I use it for both new installations and servicing?

Yes. The oil suits both initial fill and service fill, provided the OEM specifies an ISO VG 68 POE lubricant.

Why must I keep the container sealed?

POE oil absorbs moisture from the air. Moisture inside a refrigeration system can cause acid formation and component damage, so reseal containers immediately.

Can I mix it with mineral or other oil types?

Mixing oil types can affect lubrication and system performance. Instead, follow the compressor manufacturer’s recommendations before changing or mixing oils.

What does a pour point of −45 °C mean in practice?

Pour point is the lowest temperature at which oil still flows. Thus, this oil stays fluid even in low-temperature refrigeration duty.
