NOTES:
1. The use of any non-approved refrigerant may be
dangerous and will void the warranty.
2. Using the wrong type or weight of oil for the
refrigerant selected will void the warranty.
3. Follow the refrigerant and/or oil manufacturer
instructions when installing or retrofitting.
4. Contact the Carlyle Compressor engineering
department before using any refrigerant or oil not
listed in this guide as approved for use in a Carlyle
semi-hermetic compressor.
5. Castrol SW68 (Totaline
®
P903-1001) is approved for
use in Carrier chiller applications as well as Carrier
and Carlyle semi-hermetic compressors for air
conditioning and medium temperature applications.
Castrol SW68 (Totaline
®
P903-1001) cannot be
used in any new low temperature refrigeration
applications using Carlyle OEM semi-hermetic
compressors. Castrol E68 is approved for use in
Carlyle OEM compressors for low, medium, and
high temperature ranges.
6. All HFC/POE applications require a crankcase heater.
7. Moisture must be kept below 50 ppm for POE oils.
8. In retrofit applications, a high flow oil pump is
required.
All POE oils are very hygroscopic (will readily pick up and
retain moisture from the air) and should be used completely
once the container is opened. It is extremely difficult to reseal
the oil container effectively enough to prevent moisture
absorption, which in turn forms damaging acids.
