COMPONENT PARTS

Refrigerant and Compressor Oil

- The refrigerant is HFC-134a, which contains no chlorine (Cl), a substance which damages the ozone layer.
- The compressor oil is ND-OIL 11, an ester oil with high insulation performance, designed especially for electric compressors.

CAUTION:
The special electric compressor oil has different properties from the conventional HFC-134a compressor oil (PAG oil) and CFC-12 compressor oil (mineral oil). Be sure not to mix these oil types with compressor oil, as doing so may cause electric leakage.
NOTE:
- HFC: HydroFluoroCarbon
- CFC: ChloroFluoroCarbon
