Castrol Aircol LPT 46 is a refrigeration compressor oil designed for use in both industrial installations and smaller refrigeration units. Formulated from a highly refined naphthenic base, Aircol LPT oil provides reliable lubrication across the significant temperature variations found within refrigeration compressors.
Designed to work as a lubricant, coolant and sealant within refrigerating compressors, Aircol LPT 46 maintains its lubrication properties at the elevated temperatures reached during the compression phase while retaining good fluidity at the lower temperatures encountered within evaporators. This combination lubricates moving compressor components effectively while supporting the return of lubricant that has been carried through the system with the refrigerant.
Castrol Aircol LPT 46 is particularly suited to applications where dependable low-temperature performance is an important consideration. It provides good low-temperature flow properties and favourable temperature-viscosity behaviour, and maintains good lubrication properties across the wide temperature ranges found in both industrial and small domestic refrigeration units.
This product was previously called Energol LPT.
For a compressor oil that is designed for the low and high temperature extremes of refrigeration and suitable for use in both large industrial units and smaller home models, look no further than the Castrol Aircol LPT range of refrigeration compressor lubricants. Formulated from highly refined naphthenic base oils, these products have excellent lubrication properties and prevent the formation of potentially disruptive breakdown products.
Aircol LPT's formulation is designed to resist reaction with refrigeration system refrigerants that could otherwise create disruptive breakdown products, providing a vital level of chemical stability. In particular, Castrol's Aircol LPT grades are suitable for refrigeration systems using ammonia (NH3) or halogenated hydrocarbons, and those requiring an ISO VG 46 refrigeration oil.
Key characteristics of Castrol Aircol LPT 46 include:
Businesses that require refrigeration lubricants can explore Broughton Lubricants’ wider range of Castrol refrigeration oils, where we offer a selection of lubricant technologies and viscosity grades for refrigeration equipment. We also supply Aircol LPT 68, a more viscous oil with the same formulation and base oil for use in both large and industrial units and smaller, domestic refrigerators.
Choosing the correct refrigeration compressor oil depends on the compressor design, refrigerant and operating conditions, which can be complicated without expert support. The technical support team at Broughton Lubricants specialises in industrial lubricants across many applications, and can provide product recommendations based on your equipment specifications or other requirements.
With decades of lubricant experience, our team can also identify direct replacements when older products have been upgraded or reformulated, or suitable alternatives when products are discontinued, rebranded or otherwise unavailable. Broughton Lubricants is the UK’s only Castrol Ambassador Distributor covering both Castrol’s industrial and automotive product lines, which means that we can provide specialist support across a particularly broad range of lubrication requirements.
