CAMCO Ammonia Refrigeration Oils
Here are the most popular CAMCO series for ammonia refrigeration systems:
This series features premier fluids for today’s ammonia service, with outstanding stability, no sludge-forming tendencies, and superior stamina (outlasting mineral oils 4-8 times).
This is a synthetic hydrocarbon-based fluid that is designed for the new, extremely low temperature ammonia applications (less than -45°C/-49°F). It has pour points as low as -51°C/-59.8°F.
This product was designed for use in Cornell ammonia refrigeration pumps.
A 100% Synthetic Hydrocarbon based lubricant including specially designed additives for ammonia compressors or harsh environments with a patented Seal Conditioner to: protect against corrosion, oxidation, and thermal breakdown; improve coalescing; and prevent foaming. Used for applications where the lubricant is subjected to certain harsh chemical environments.
CAMCO® SAB-68 is truly a wax-free 100% Synthetic Hydrocarbon fluid containing Polyalphaolefin and Alkylated Benzene based lubricants. Developed for high-performance refrigerators using ammonia as a refrigerant.
HFC Refrigerants
The Solest Series products are formulated from modified ester base stocks to provide controlled miscibility, as well as solubility with all HFC based refrigerants, including R-134a. They are mineral oil compatible and can be used to effectively retrofit an existing CFC based system. The controlled miscibility and solubility properties of the lubricants have led to improved volumetric efficiency in compressor tests, as well as providing efficient oil return from the system. In addition, tests conducted on the fluid have shown no loss of lubricant film under diluted conditions with rolling ball elements.
CFC & HCFC Refrigerants
This series of fluids are our alkyl benzene based products. These are typically used in applications such as R-502 and low temperature R-22 where additional miscibility is required.
CAMCO AB 150 | CAMCO AB 300 | CAMCO AB 500
CAMCO AB 150, CAMCO AB 300 and CAMCO AB 500 are new alkylbenzene type synthetic refrigeration compressor lubricating oils. Their viscosity levels are 150, 300 and 500 SSU 100ºF respectively. They are of highest quality, 100% synthetic oils having properties especially selected to insure long trouble-free life in all types of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump compressor service applications.
Features
SUPERIOR LOW TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE — As measured by the ASHRAE Standard “Floc Point” test which shows the temperature at which a wax precipitate “flocs”, or drops out of an oil-refrigerant mixture under specified conditions. Alkylbenzene oils have no waxy components and therefore yield floc point values much lower than equal viscosity, conventional petroleum oils.
SOLUBILITY WITH REFRIGERANTS — CAMCO AB alkylbenzenes are significantly more soluble or “miscible” with all refrigerants than are conventional petroleum oils. This is a direct result of their chemical nature and is beneficial in reducing oil-refrigerant stratification or separation, in the operating system. The practical result of the good solubility properties of CAMCO AB 150, CAMCO AB 300 and CAMCO AB 500 is lower fluid viscosity in the evaporator and in suction return lines. This assures that oil will be returned to the compressor crankcase to maintain an oil film and extend compressor life.
EXCELLENT COMPATIBILITY — CAMCO AB alkylbenzene oils are fully compatible with all of the variety of materials including metals, wire coatings, varnishes, etc. that are present in a refrigeration system. They do not react with those materials to form sludges or deposits, even under severe operating conditions.
Physical Properties
CAMCO AB's are light in color, clear in appearance and are easy and safe to handle and use. They are non-toxic. They also have improved foaming properties, with less tendency to foam in mixtures with refrigerants under the varying conditions of compressor system service. CAMCO AB's are fully compatible with all refrigeration oils of conventional petroleum and alkylbenzene types.

CAMCO 4214-68 | CAMCO 4214-100 | CAMCO 4214-150 | CAMCO 4214-320
The CAMCO 4214 Series fluids are new technology refrigeration compressor lubricants.
Product Description
These proprietary fluids offer the advantages of excellent natural lubricity, excellent thermal and chemical stability with CFC refrigerants, a wide range of viscosity grades and solubility with certain refrigerants such as R-22 to very low temperatures. The availability of higher viscosity grades make these fluids an excellent choice for applications such as rotary screw compressors. A higher working viscosity allows for a better seal between rotors and provides better lubrications to bearings and seals. Good solubility at low temperatures assures lubricant return from flooded evaporators and better exchanger efficiency. Extremely low volatility provides improved lubricant/gas separation with coalescing filters.
Studies are currently in progress to examine potential energy savings in rotary screw compressors.
Consult CAMCO Lubricants for information on suitability for particular refrigeration applications.
This is a Naphthenic-based lubricant for fluorocarbon refrigerants.
