Summit R Series

Summit R Series synthetic hydrocarbon refrigeration lubricants are designed to function under severe service conditions.  These fluids have a very high viscosity index, contain no paraffin and are compatible with various fluorinated refrigerants, ammonia, methyl chloride and carbon dioxide. The Summit R Series are completely miscible with petroleum-based fluids.  

These products are USDA H-1 approved and have Kosher approval.

R-100 is designed to operate in rotary compressors requiring an ISO-32 viscosity rating.

R-200 is designed to operate in rotary screw compressors requiring an ISO-68 viscosity rating.

R-300 is designed to operate in reciprocating compressors requiring an ISO-100 viscosity rating.

Summit RAB Series

Summit RAB Series refrigeration oils are alkylate based and formulated for use in reciprocating, rotary, and centrifugal refrigeration compressors using ammonia, R12, R22, R114 and R502.  These products are extremely stable at high compression temperatures while providing excellent low temperature properties at evaporator temperatures below -50°F.  Other performance benefits include excellent solubility with refrigerants, good compatibility with construction materials, extended service life , and reduced deposit formations in high and low temperature areas.

Applications:

Refrigeration compressors using ammonia, R12, R22, R114, and R502 as the refrigerant.  Compatible with conventional mineral oils and most construction materials including Viton®, Neoprene®, and Buna-N.

Available as: RAB-32 and RAB-68

Summit RHT-68

Summit RHT-68 is a highly refined, hydrotreated ammonia compressor lubricant specially designed to function under the stringent requirements of closed-loop ammonia refrigeration systems.  Besides providing value-added benefits in the areas of improved system efficiency and higher productivity, the performance advantages of Summit RHT-68 versus naphthenic oils include:

  • Reduced oil carryover

  • Superior cleanliness

  • Superior chemical and thermal stability

  • Enhanced wear protection

  • Lower foaming tendency

  • Extended oil drain interval capability

  • Less oil make-up

Summit RHT-68 is exceptionally well suited for rotary screw, reciprocating and rotary vane compressors in ammonia service.  It is compatible with naphthenic and other hydrotreated paraffinic-based compressor oils for ammonia service, as well as PAO and alkylbenzene-based products.  It is compatible with all seal elastomers commonly used in these systems including Buna-N, Neoprene and Fluorocarbon (Viton®).  Due to swelling, softening and rapid deterioration of Neoprene seals in the presence of naphthenic oils, it is strongly recommended that these seals be replaced before changing to Summit RHT-68.

Summit’s RPA Series

Summit’s RPA Series is a synthesized hydrocarbon-alkylate 100% full-synthetic formulation for reciprocating, rotary, and centrifugal refrigeration compressor applications using any of several refrigerants including ammonia (R717), R12, R13, R22, R113, R114, R123, R401A, R401B, R402B, R409A, R500, R502 and R503.  Summit RPA Series is not compatible with R134A and most HFCs.  This product is extremely stable at higher compression temperatures while providing excellent low temperature properties at low evaporator temperatures.  Performance and cost benefits include:

  • Reduced and easier oil draining from the plant    

  • Reduced oil consumption- Up to 70% less vs. mineral oils    

  • Reduced deposit formation & low foaming tendency

  •  Excellent seal, paint & plastic compatibility

  •  Extended lubricant service life- Up to 5 times longer vs. mineral oils

  • Chemically stable in the presence of normal levels of water and air

  • Extended lubricant service life vs. Mineral oils

Available as:  RPA-32, RPA-46, RPA-68, RPA-100

 

Summit's R P E Series

Summit’s RPE Series are fully synthetic lubricants designed for use in refrigeration compressors using R-134A as the refrigerant.  They have excellent chemical and thermal stability as well as superior lubricity characteristics with steel and aluminum.  They are also miscible with all HFCs, HCFCs, CFCs and blends.  They were specifically developed for HFC refrigerants.

Available as:  RPE-32, RPE-46, RPE-68, RPE-100
