LIQUI MOLY PAG Air Conditioning Oil 46 | 250 ml | Compressor Oil | SKU: 4083

Product Information

The terms polyalkylene glycol and polyglycol are used interchangeably. These fluids can be manufactured to be either water soluble or water insoluble (oil soluble). The most common are the water-soluble fluids, and thus they can have some very different properties. When it comes to automotive air conditioning systems, choosing the right oil is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. The wrong choice can lead to inefficient cooling, increased wear and tear on components, and potential system failure. Two commonly used oils in automotive air conditioning systems are pag and poe oil. The choice between pag and poe oil depends on the specific requirements of your ac system. Pag oil is commonly used with r134a refrigerant, while poe oil is recommended for systems with r410a refrigerant. Consult your manufacturer’s guidelines for the best choice. Can I Use Pag Oil If My Ac System Originally Had Poe Oil? Polyglycols are moderately polar, which gives them moderate film strength properties. They have a very high viscosity index (180 to 280) and good low and high temperature abilities. Poe oil is known for its excellent lubricity, high chemical stability, and compatibility with various refrigerants.

When choosing between pag oil and poe oil for your air conditioning system, it is important to consider the specific requirements of your vehicle and the refrigerant being used. The proper functioning of an automotive air conditioning system relies on the use of the right lubricant. measuring the oil from the failed compressor, then adding a specific volume of new oil to the replacement compressor. This can vary from a full charge of oil (236 ml), to a half charge of oil or no oil at all. First, they cannot be used in the cylinder lubrication of internal combustion engines because the combustion by-product is silicon dioxide. When replacing a compressor, it is important to add the right amount of Pag oil Which AC components require oil refills?

Universal Oil

Potential for contamination: If pag oil is not properly handled or stored, it can become contaminated with moisture, dirt, or other contaminants. Contaminated oil can negatively impact system performance and efficiency. Polyalkylene glycol can be designed to form a wide variety of polymers. The design of the polymer can be tailored to the lubricant application to provide, for example, the desired viscosity, pour point, solubility and other attributes.

From the laboratory perspective, the condition of PAG fluids is relatively easy to monitor. In most applications, as the end of the useful life approaches, the only significant change is the increase in acid number (AN) from fluid oxidation. Improved heat transfer: Poe oil has excellent heat transfer properties, improving the overall performance of the system. It helps in efficient heat dissipation and allows the system to maintain optimal temperatures. Some of the advantages of PAO-based lubricants are summarized in Table 5. Table 5.
