Agip BETULA 32

Description

1. Agip BETULA 32

Agip BETULA 32 is a durable, selectively refined naphthenic-base compressor lubricant designed for specific use in hermetic and semi-hermetic refrigeration units. Made of high-purity quality material, it addresses common challenges like cold startup, deposit formation, and lubricant-refrigerant compatibility. Widely used in domestic refrigerators, commercial chillers, and heat pumps using R‑22, R‑134a, R‑12, and ammonia (excluding SO₂), BETULA 32 stands out as a reliable solution for modern refrigeration systems

2. Performance of Agip BETULA 32

• Low pour point (−40 °C) and flock point (−56 °C): ensures fluidity in cold environments and prevents wax buildup

• Thermal resilience: high chemical stability avoids varnish or carbon deposits, safeguarding valves and heat exchangers

• Refrigerant compatibility: safe with R‑12, R‑22 and ammonia, protecting seals and metals

• Dielectric strength: high insulating properties protect motor windings in hermetic compressors

• Mix compatibility: blends with ISO-L-DRA mineral oils; avoid cross contamination with synthetics.

3. Features

• Selective naphthenic base: purity ensures reliable lubrication and stability

• ISO VG 32 viscosity: optimal film thickness with low power loss

• Clear, light appearance: easy visual inspection for contamination

• Low deposit tendency: reduces maintenance and extends valve life

• High dielectric strength: safe in electromatic environments

• Hermetic compatibility: safe for both domestic and industrial refrigerants

4. Benefits

• Reduced downtime: stable performance prevents sludge build-up

• Cost savings: low viscosity plus long life cuts HVAC maintenance costs

• Improved energy efficiency: smooth operation reduces power consumption

• Plug-and-play compatibility: fits with existing mineral-based refrigeration oils

• Affordable & accessible: frequently offered on sale with online deals
