High-Performance Industrial Lubrication Solutions & Advanced Thermal Management Systems Insured by PICC

Macro Industry Solutions: Future-Proofing Refrigeration Infrastructure

The global cooling landscape is undergoing a massive transformation, driven by environmental mandates such as the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. The critical shift away from traditional High-GWP Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to low-GWP Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and natural refrigerants—such as Carbon Dioxide (R744), Ammonia (R717), and Hydrocarbons (like Propane R290)—demands a new paradigm in lubrication technology. Modern refrigeration oils must maintain precise chemical compatibility, high miscibility, and exceptional thermal stability at ultra-extreme pressure states.

As a leading lubrication specialist, Shandong Longhai Lubrication Technology provides high-grade synthetic formulations, including Polyolester (POE) and Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) chemistries. These formulations are specifically engineered to eliminate oil log in evaporators, prevent thermal decomposition at compressor discharge valves, and optimize heat transfer rates. This ensures that global cold chains, HVAC infrastructures, and marine refrigeration systems operate at peak efficiency with minimal downtime.

Key System Challenges Handled:

  • Miscibility & Solubility Control: Eliminating compressor oil return failures under variable loads.
  • Hydrolytic Stability: Preventing POE oil hydrolysis and organic acid accumulation.
  • Low Temperature Fluidity: Maintaining low pour points and floc points down to -60°C.
  • Eco-Refrigerant Matching: Tailored base fluid matrices optimized for CO2, NH3, and HFO systems.

About Shandong Longhai Lubrication Technology

Established in 2009 and headquartered in Zibo, Shandong, Shandong Longhai Lubrication Technology Development Co., Ltd. is a state-recognized high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, and international sales. With over 15 years of focused experience, we have constructed a complete industrial chain system dedicated to providing premium lubrication solutions for industrial and transport sectors globally.

We own the well-known domestic brand "Century Longhai" and represent the British "A Ba" strategic series. Our product portfolio spans synthetic refrigeration oils, diesel engine oil, gasoline engine oil, gear oil, hydraulic transmission oil, anti-wear hydraulic oil, special machinery oil, natural gas engine oil, full synthetic oil, automotive urea solutions, antifreeze, and industrial oil. To guarantee quality reliability, our entire brand portfolio is insured by the PICC (China People's Insurance Company).

Equipped with an advanced intelligent base covering 131 acres, we run precision laboratories and high-efficiency fully automated filling lines. This infrastructure achieves a metering accuracy of 1‰-2‰, increasing filling speeds by 20%-35% compared to conventional operations. It guarantees prompt global delivery and uniform production standards.

Advanced Technical Roadmap & Localization Adaptations

Our chemical formulations are engineered for specific system applications. We prioritize base oil purity, additive stability, and refrigerant compatibility across diverse applications.

Cold Chain & Refrigerated Logistics

In transport refrigeration and commercial cold storages, temperatures swing rapidly. Our synthetic formulations exhibit extremely high viscosity indexes, preventing oil thickening in evaporators at -40°C while maintaining strong film barriers inside compressor screw rotors at 100°C. This ensures continuous cooling with lower energy consumption.

CO2 Subcritical & Transcritical Systems

CO2 systems operate under extremely high pressures, requiring lubricants that resist thinning from refrigerant dissolution. Our custom POE formulation controls refrigerant solubility, preserving lubricant film strength and viscosity inside the compressor. This prevents metal-on-metal wear under high loads.

Ammonia (NH3) Industrial Chilling

Ammonia is highly reactive but offers excellent thermodynamic performance. In industrial refrigeration, we employ hydrotreated mineral oils and synthetic polyalphaolefins (PAO) that do not react with NH3. This stops sludge formation, keeps systems clean, and extends oil drain intervals up to 8,000 hours.

Our analytical laboratories are equipped to measure key lubricant properties, including:

  • Kinematic Viscosity (ASTM D445): Tested across temperatures from -40°C to 100°C to confirm stable viscosity indexes.
  • Pour Point & Floc Point: Analyzed to prevent wax separation and ensure low-temperature fluid flow in expansion valves.
  • Karl Fischer Coulometric Titration (ASTM E1064): Used to measure trace moisture, ensuring water content stays below 30 ppm to protect POE oils from hydrolyzing.
  • Dielectric Strength: Critical for hermetic compressor systems to prevent electrical leakage through the lubricant oil pool.

White-Paper Q&A: Advanced Technical Diagnostics

Technical advice from our lubrication engineers on selection, compatibility, and maintenance.

Why is moisture management critical for Polyolester (POE) refrigeration oils?
Unlike mineral-based oils, synthetic POE oils are highly hygroscopic, meaning they readily absorb atmospheric moisture. If moisture levels exceed 50 ppm, water reacts with the ester linkages via hydrolysis, generating organic acids. These acids attack internal components, leading to copper plating, bearing corrosion, and compressor failure. Shandong Longhai uses specialized packaging, nitrogen purging, and precise dry sealing to keep moisture content under 30 ppm from factory to delivery.
How does refrigerant solubility affect lubricant film thickness?
Refrigerants dissolve into compressor oil based on local pressures and temperatures. Highly soluble combinations, like R134a in POE, lower the oil's viscosity. In bearing regions, this viscosity reduction can thin the protective lubricant film, potentially causing wear. Our lubricants are formulated to control solubility levels, ensuring sufficient film thickness even at high discharge temperatures.
What parameters dictate the choice between PAG and POE synthetic oils?
The decision depends on the refrigerant and compressor design. Polyalkylene Glycols (PAGs) are commonly used with R134a in automotive A/C systems and with R744 (CO2) in select industrial applications due to their specific miscibility profiles. Polyolester (POE) oils are the industry standard for HFC, HFO, and blended refrigerants in commercial and residential HVAC systems. They provide excellent thermal stability, material compatibility, and dielectric strength in hermetic systems.
How does oil return behavior affect evaporator performance?
During normal operation, some lubricant is carried out of the compressor and into the system loop. If the oil is not miscible with the cold refrigerant in the evaporator, it can separate and form a film on the heat transfer surfaces. This oil coating acts as insulation, lowering heat transfer efficiency and potentially starving the compressor of oil. We balance the solubility and miscibility curves of our synthetic oils to ensure they travel through the system and return reliably to the compressor crankcase.
What are the main parameters to monitor during routine fluid testing?
Industrial operators should regularly test: 1) Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C to verify dilution or oxidation levels; 2) Acid Number (TAN) via ASTM D974 to monitor for fluid hydrolysis; 3) Moisture content via Karl Fischer titration; 4) Wear metals via ICP spectroscopy to monitor bearing and component wear. We offer comprehensive oil analysis services to help customers optimize drain intervals and prevent unexpected downtime.
