low GWP refrigerants
Selecting the right partner is a critical decision for OEMs, refrigerant gas manufacturers, and other refrigeration industry stakeholders navigating through the complex low GWP landscape. The ideal partner collaborates to understand the challenges, provides guidance, and delivers innovative solutions. CPI is uniquely positioned to enable the adoption of low GWP refrigerants by utilizing our world-class
resources to create a more sustainable future.
So many factors play a role in choosing both the low GWP refrigerant and the lubricant best suited for the application. The compressor type (reciprocating, scroll, etc.) and the way in which it is used (air conditioning, light commercial, etc.) really help to determine which refrigerant to use. If it’s a retrofit compressor, the refrigerant used originally can be very helpful in determining what the new replacement refrigerant should be. Additionally, health and safety factors often play a role in which refrigerant a compressor manufacturer will choose. Concerns regarding flammability or toxicity of the refrigerant can often affect a manufacturer’s decision. The selected refrigerant, as well as the compressor’s operating conditions, will determine what oil is appropriate for the application.
EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, & CAPABILITIES
Our 50 years of experience navigating through changes in the refrigeration industry makes us an ideal partner to guide our customers through the transition to low GWP refrigerants. We are base oil agnostic, meaning that we will develop and recommend the best lubricant for a customer’s system rather than force-fitting an existing solution. Our research and development team and labs have a wide range of technology at their disposal to help our customers make the best decision. We have access to powerful testing capabilities and a robust supply chain to develop & deliver long-term lubricant solutions.
