Suniso refrigeration oil is a mineral compressor oil for refrigeration and AC systems using compatible refrigerants.
Choose the grade the compressor maker specifies, such as 3GS or 4GS. Then keep the tin sealed.
What is a Suniso refrigeration oil?
Refrigeration oil lubricates the compressor in AC and refrigeration systems and travels round the circuit with the refrigerant. Vacuum pump oil seals and lubricates rotary vane vacuum pumps.
Each oil must suit its job: refrigeration oil must match the refrigerant and compressor, while vacuum pump oil must have low vapour pressure. Therefore, never mix oil types without checking.
