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.
