Mobil EAL Arctic 46 Refrigeration Compressor Oil

Mobil EAL Arctic 46 Refrigeration Compressor Oil

Features and Benefits

Mobil EAL Arctic Series oils offer the following features and potential benefits:

The Mobil EAL brand of lubricants is recognised and appreciated worldwide for its environmental compatibility and outstanding performance. The Mobil EAL Arctic Series products were developed to support the new generation of ozone-friendly refrigerants required by the Montreal Protocol and subsequent international agreements.

The development of these products demonstrates a continuous commitment to applying advanced technology in order to provide high-quality lubricant products. A key factor in the development of the Mobil EAL Arctic Series was the close cooperation with compressor OEMs and system designers to ensure exceptional performance across a broad range of applications.

Research combined with laboratory testing has confirmed the outstanding performance of Mobil EAL Arctic Series lubricants. This cooperative work enabled the design of optimum synthetic POE structures for each viscosity grade and the development of additive packages that meet the stability and compatibility requirements of refrigeration applications.

Features

• Excellent high temperature stability
• Well-defined miscibility and P-V-T relationships with HFC refrigerants
• Very good anti-wear properties
• High viscosity index and wax-free formulation
• Wide viscosity range

Advantages and Potential Benefits

• Improved evaporator cleanliness, reduced unscheduled downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
• Ensures high system efficiency and proper oil return in refrigeration system designs.
• Reduces compressor wear, resulting in lower maintenance costs.
• Excellent low temperature fluidity with no wax deposits, improving evaporator efficiency.
• Meets specific viscosity requirements for a wide range of equipment and applications.

Applications

Application Considerations:

Mobil EAL Arctic Series oils are hygroscopic, therefore care must be taken to avoid moisture absorption during handling and storage. Containers should be tightly sealed when not in use, and smaller packaging is preferred. The product should not be transferred to plastic containers that may allow moisture ingress.

Mobil EAL Arctic Series oils are recommended for refrigeration systems using HFC or CO₂ refrigerants.

Typical applications include:

• Household refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and heat pumps.
• Commercial refrigeration applications including office buildings, shopping malls, hotel air conditioning, and low-temperature transport refrigeration.
• Industrial applications such as food processing, freezing operations, and cryogenic applications.
