Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation

Compressor oil

The oil used to lubricate the compressor circulates in the system while the compressor is operating. Whenever replacing any component of the system or
when a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the original total amount of oil.

Compressor oil quantity: 150 cc ± 10 cc

Handling of oil

1. The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal filings, etc.
2. Do not mix oils.
3. The moisture content in the oil increases when exposed to the air for prolonged periods. After use, seal the container immediately.

Oil return operation
