Refrigeration oil is derived from formulating a mixture of oil and additives at high-temperatures. It is used in cooling systems. Refrigeration oil is widely used for lubrication purposes in refrigeration compressors and other systems in order to reduce friction between metal parts and wear in the compressor. Mineral oil or synthetic oil are both used in the production of refrigeration oil, which is then mixed with additives. This oil is developed for use in cooling systems where it is used to lubricate the moving parts of the refrigeration system. Refrigeration oil possesses low pour point, has better chemical and thermal stability, high viscosity, and is completely contamination-free.
