SRO-500/1LT Genuine HyChill SRO-500 Refrigeration Compressor Oil 1 Litre for Licensed Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technicians

SRO-500/1LT is HyChill SRO-500 oil in a 1 litre container, stocked for refrigeration and air conditioning service work. Compressor oil keeps the moving parts lubricated and travels around the system with the refrigerant, so topping up or replacing it is part of many compressor changes and system repairs. Check the compressor maker's oil specification before use, as refrigeration oils aren't all interchangeable.

Choosing the right refrigeration oil

Every refrigeration compressor is filled with an oil chosen to suit its refrigerant and operating temperatures. Some of that oil leaves the compressor and circulates through the system, so a leak, a burnt-out compressor or a component change can leave the system short. Running low on oil wears bearings and valves and shortens compressor life. Mixing oil types can cause sludge and blockages, which is why the compressor label or service data should always be checked before adding any. Keep the container capped, since many refrigeration oils absorb moisture from the air.

Handling and safety

Work that opens a refrigerant circuit must be done by a technician holding an Australian refrigerant handling licence. Isolate power to the appliance before starting. Add oil only in the amount the compressor maker specifies, using a clean charging method, and recap the container straight away. Wipe up spills and take used oil to a waste oil collection point.
