All POE oils are very hygroscopic (will readily pick up and
retain moisture from the air) and should be used completely
once the container is opened. It is extremely difficult to
reseal the oil container effectively enough to prevent mois-
ture absorption, which in turn forms damaging acids.
NOTES:
1. The use of any non-approved refrigerant may be danger-
ous and may void the warranty. Contact the Carlyle
Compressor engineering department before using any
refrigerant or oil not listed in this guide as approved for
use in a Carlyle semi-hermetic compressor.
2. Using the wrong type or weight of oil for the refrigerant
selected will void the warranty.
3. Follow the refrigerant and/or oil manufacturer instruc-
tions when installing or retrofitting.
4. Castrol SW68 (Totaline® P903-1001) is approved for
use in Carrier chiller applications as well as Carrier and
Carlyle semi-hermetic compressors for air conditioning
and medium temperature applications. Castrol SW68
(Totaline® P903-1001) cannot be used in any new low
temperature refrigeration applications using Carlyle
OEM semi-hermetic compressors. Castrol E68 is
approved for use in Carlyle OEM compressors for
low, medium, and high temperature ranges.
5. All HFC/POE applications require a crankcase heater.
6. Moisture must be kept below 50 ppm for POE oils.
7. In retrofit applications, a high flow oil pump is required.
For HFCs not listed above, please contact Carlyle Engineer-
ing for oil recommendations.
FOR CFCs
:
Carlyle has historically approved the following UL listed
refrigerants R-22, R-500, and R-502 for use in 06D, E, and
CC compressors.
