1) TAN (Total Acid Number) is only non-ammonia applications
2) SAN (Strong Acid Number) is only reported for non-ammonia applications
A report is compiled for every sample received. This report will describe:
• whether the oil can still be used without taking any further action.
• whether the oil can be used after it has been filtered through a very fine filter. If this is nec-
essary, the oil must be pumped directly from the compressor unit through a 3 micron filter
and back to the unit. The system must be completely closed to prevent the oil from being
affected by moisture in the air.
• whether the oil can no longer be used.
The report will always be sent to the address stated on the sample label included in the form set.
A copy will be sent to Johnson Controls Denmark so that we are in a position to advise you, if
required.
11.13 Oil change
The oil in the unit must be changed after a specific number of operating hours or when an oil anal-
ysis shows that a change is required.
We advise you to contact your local Johnson Controls representative about oil change as it is rec-
ommended to replace all filters in the unit at the same time. Local contact details are available on
www.sabroe.com.
