KLÜBER SUMMIT R 200

Klüber Summit R 200 is a fully synthetic refrigeration compressor oil designed for ammonia and CO₂ systems, offering excellent thermal and chemical stability across a wide temperature range.

Description

KLÜBER SUMMIT R – Synthetic Compressor Oil for Ammonia Refrigeration & Heat Pumps

Product Overview

KLÜBER SUMMIT R oils are fully synthetic, high-performance lubricants developed specifically for heavily loaded ammonia refrigeration systems, industrial cooling plants and heat pumps. Formulated with premium polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils, this series offers excellent chemical and thermal stability, superior low-temperature flow and a high viscosity index—giving the lubricant outstanding reserve capacity compared to mineral-based compressor oils.

SUMMIT R oils are designed for use with R717 (ammonia) and, depending on system design, may also be used with carbon dioxide (R744) systems. Their low solubility in ammonia and CO₂ ensures strong lubrication film thickness at the lubrication point, supporting reliable, low-wear operation, even at high discharge temperatures and extremely low evaporator temperatures.


Key Features

  • Fully synthetic PAO-based refrigeration compressor oils

  • Designed for heavily loaded ammonia refrigeration systems

  • Very good performance at low evaporator temperatures

  • High viscosity index and excellent shear stability

  • Low solubility in R717 and R744

  • Suitable for ammonia and CO₂ (depending on system design)


Benefits

  • Excellent thermal and chemical stability

  • Reduced wear and improved compressor reliability

  • High refrigeration efficiency due to low oil solubility in refrigerant

  • Effective oil/refrigerant separation, reducing oil carry-over

  • Longer oil filter and oil separator service life

  • Lower operating and maintenance costs
