Mobil Gargoyle Arctic™ 68 NH
Mobil industrial , Brazil
Product Description
Mobil Gargoyle Arctic 68 NH is a high performance refrigeration oil designed specifically for the lubrication of refrigeration reciprocating and screw
compressors using ammonia (NH3, R-717). It is formulated with high quality mineral paraffinic technology providing excellent low temperature
performance, low volatility and thermal stability.
Its very low miscibility with ammonia limits oil thinning and minimizes oil carry-over. Low vapour pressure reduces oil consumption and need for top-ups
while preventing fractionation (viscosity increase).
Viscosity control over a wide temperature range to obtain the lowest fluidity required in the evaporator and the highest viscosity for enhanced equipment
protection in the compressor.
Features and Benefits
Low volatility, helps reducing oil consumption (fewer oil top-ups), limiting oil thinning from fractionation
Low Brookfield viscosity contributes to good oil flow at low temperatures and good oil return from evaporator
Surface protection for increased equipment life, reduced repair costs
High Viscosity Index for good compressor lubrication across wide operating temperatures
Refrigerant compatibility contributes to oil separator efficiency (very low miscibility with NH3)
Applications
Application considerations: Mobil Gargoyle Arctic 68 NH is recommended for refrigeration systems for cylinder and bearing lubrication in conventional
reciprocating and screw refrigeration compressors where ammonia refrigerant is used.
This includes:
Large industrial reciprocating and screw refrigeration compressors used in the food industry for food preparation and freezing
Industrial applications such as food freezing and cold storage plants
Marine refrigeration applications
