Piping Machining - Mitsubishi Electric PEH-P400MYA Technical & Service Manual

[2] Piping Machining

Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small amount) as the refrigerator oil to coat flares and flange connections.
Reason:
1. The refrigerator oil used for the equipment is highly hygroscopic and may introduce water inside.
Notes:
• Introducing a great quantity of mineral oil into the refrigerant circuit may also cause a compressor failure.
•
Do not use oils other than ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene.
Use only the necessary minimum quantity of oil.
