Elke Poe 32 Refrigeration Compressor Oil 5 Liter

Quality and Reliability Made in Italy

Country of Manufacture: Italy. Elke Poe 32 is supplied in 5-liter packaging and is a high-quality refrigeration compressor oil, ideal for industrial refrigeration systems. Clear and pale yellow at 20 °C in liquid form, with a pour point below -45 °C, it delivers exceptional performance even in cold conditions.

Key Features

• Flash Point: per the ASTM D 92 standard, 235 °C.
• Density: at 20 °C, approximately 960 kg/m³, offering a robust and reliable composition.
• Water Solubility: Its moisture-absorbing hygroscopic properties help protect the system from moisture.
• Acid Value: Below 0.1 mg KOH/g, providing maximum purity and system protection.
• Biodegradability: according to OECD 301B test results, more than 60%, an environmentally conscious choice.
• Dielectric Strength: per IEC 60156 @ 24 °C, >75 kV, providing high electrical safety.
• Kinematic Viscosity: 28-36 cSt at 40 °C, 5.8-6.0 cSt at 100 °C, providing stable fluidity.
• ASHRAE 97 Thermal Stability: A deposit-free and clean result in the 336-hour test at 175 °C.

Performance That Passes Demanding Tests

Elke Poe 32 has successfully passed demanding laboratory tests, achieving excellent results in water content and acidity (TAN) values; the viscosity change remained below 3% and metal mobilization was not observed. These results indicate that the product will provide long-term protection and performance in your refrigeration systems.

Compatible Refrigerants and Applications

• Compatible refrigerants: Compatible with R134a, R404A, R407C, R410A, R32, R507, R22 and R1234yf (Elke refrigerant–oil compatibility table; full list on datasheet page 4).
• Not used: Not used in ammonia (R717) systems; the manufacturer recommends mineral oil for these systems.
• Compressor type: ISO VG 32 grade POE; reciprocating (hermetic and semi-hermetic) compressors are the recommended application.
• Use: Initial compressor fill and oil top-up; retrofit from R12 / R22 / R502 to HFC refrigerants in systems with mineral or alkylbenzene oil residue.
• Miscibility: Miscible with mineral, alkylbenzene, PAO and other POE oils; incompatible with PAG oils. Properties change when mixed with oil of a different viscosity.
• Protection: Anti-wear additive package for steel and aluminum surfaces; rust and corrosion protection including copper alloys; compatible with paints, coatings and elastomers.
• Water content: Below 50 ppm in new product.

Storage and Handling Warnings

• POE oil is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air: close the container tightly immediately after use; store in a dry place between −20 … +40 °C.
• If the product has been stored below −20 °C, warm it above 20 °C before use.
• Packaging: 5 L plastic container, approx. 186 × 131 × 288 mm (2 per carton).
• For transport and safety information, see the product label and the material safety data sheet (MSDS).
