Page 2 / Catalog G-1, Chemicals, Lubricants and Accessories Lubricants - Retrofit To Emkarate Polyol Ester Emkarate RL and the Rapid Retrofit Technique Reduces Retrofit Time A proprietary technique has been developed to save time retrofitting CFC/HCFC systems to environmentally friendly HFC refrigerants and EMKARATE RL lubricants. This procedure eliminates many of the service visits now required as part of the “dilution retrofit method” which typically involves up to five lubricant flushes.
Catalog G-1, Chemicals, Lubricants and Accessories / Page 3 Lubricants - Retrofit To Emkarate Polyol Ester Emkarate RL and the Rapid Retrofit Technique Reduces Retrofit Time Specific Instructions 1. Gather and record all system operation data in order to establish base line information. 2. Begin defrost cycle on all evaporators in order to maximize the return of mineral or alkylbenzene oil to the compressor. If defrost cycle is not included in the system design go to step three. 3.
Page 4 / Catalog G-1, Chemicals, Lubricants and Accessories Emkarate RL Frequently Asked Questions What is hygroscopicity and its association with lubricants? Hygroscopicity is a term used to describe the affinity for moisture of a lubricant and/or refrigerant. HFC refrigerants and POE lubricant have polar molecular structures, which attract polar water molecules. The solubility of water in HFCs, such as R134a is many times greater than in the CFCs they replace.
Catalog G-1, Chemicals, Lubricants and Accessories / Page 5 Emkarate RL Frequently Asked Questions At what temperature will EMKARATE RL lubricant break down? Lubricants with a thermal stability of >175°C (347°F) has generally been shown to be of sufficient stability to work well in refrigeration systems. The glass sealed tube test, as described by ASHRE Standard 97, is widely used to assess the stability of refrigeration lubricants.

In preparation for retrofitting a system to an HCFC, HFC or HC refrigerant, the existing mineral oil must be flushed out and the crankcase refilled with a compatible lubricant.
Catalog G-1, Chemicals, Lubricants and Accessories / Page 13 Coil Cleaning Basics Cleaning air conditioner condenser and evaporator coils is a basic need for proper system maintenance. In fact, it is probably the number one performed maintenance task by air conditioning service technicians. It seems however, that with the entrance of so many manufacturers and packagers of coil cleaners, that some of the facts about coil cleaning has been lost.
Page 14 / Catalog G-1, Chemicals, Lubricants and Accessories Evaporator Coil Cleaning Basics Inspection: Evaporator coils are probably the most difficult to clean. They are usually packed tightly inside a blower compartment that are usually difficult to service. They may be located over bathtubs, in tight dark closets, on rooftops in commercial applications, in a hot attic or a myriad of other places that are usually cramped, dark and uncomfortable.
Catalog G-1, Chemicals, Lubricants and Accessories / Page 15 Condenser Coil Cleaning Basics Condenser coil cleaning is one of those subjects in which there is much misdirection and misinformation being propagated by some manufacturers/distributors that has caused unfortunate confusion in the industry. Addressed below are answers to common questions to set the record straight on the use of these products.
Page 16 / Catalog G-1, Chemicals, Lubricants and Accessories Condenser Coil Cleaning Basics Inspection: Before cleaning a condenser coil, make sure to break power to the unit. Perform an inspection of the coil to determine how dirty it is. This should entail disassembly of the unit to the extent that if there are multiple rows of coils, you can inspect between the rows to determine the depth of dirt.
