| 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 model of compressor.
|
| 1. |
The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
|
| 2. |
Do not mix with other 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.
