| Oil Specification |
| 1. |
The HFC-134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil
whereas the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil. The two oils
must never be mixed. |
| 2. |
Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the compressor model.
|
| 1. |
The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc. |
| 2. |
Do not mix with other types of oil. |
| 3. |
The water content in the oil increases when exposed to air.
After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC-134a Compressor Oil
absorbs moisture very easily.) |
| 4. |
The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.
