DURACOOL A/C OIL CAN - 113GR

Duracool® A/C Oil Chill™ - Universal Refrigeration Oil 113gr (Reference: DC0015) represents the ultimate professional solution for lubricating air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This high-performance universal oil, developed by Duracool, the global leader in eco-friendly refrigerants, offers exceptional compatibility with all types of oils and refrigerants on the market. Its unique formulation integrates an advanced UV dye that revolutionizes leak detection in refrigeration circuits.

Applications and professional benefits

This universal oil is designed for refrigeration technicians, mechanics, air conditioning installers and industrial maintenance services. It excels in all automotive air conditioning systems, commercial refrigeration units, heat pumps and industrial refrigeration installations. Its exceptional versatility allows stock unification and simplifies interventions, as it works perfectly with Deepcool 12a®, Deepcool 22a®, Duracool 502a® refrigerants, as well as traditional refrigerants R-12, R-134a, R-22 and R-502.

The 113-gram format is ideally sized for routine maintenance interventions, allowing efficient oil level completion during leak repairs or component replacements. This quantity perfectly corresponds to the needs of automotive air conditioning circuits and small commercial refrigeration units.

Technological innovation and compatibility

Duracool''s Chill™ technology guarantees universal compatibility with the three families of refrigeration oils: mineral, ester and PAG (PolyAlkylene Glycol). This extended compatibility eliminates incompatible mixing risks and resulting performance problems. The proprietary formulation maintains optimal viscosity over a wide temperature range, ensuring efficient compressor lubrication under all operating conditions.

The integrated UV dye constitutes this product''s major innovation. Approved by automotive manufacturers (OEM), this dye is visible to the naked eye under normal lighting and becomes fluorescent under UV LED lamp. This dual visibility considerably accelerates leak diagnosis, reducing intervention time and improving repair accuracy.

The pressurized can is equipped with a professional valve system allowing precise dosing and optimal flow control when injecting into the refrigeration circuit.

Usage procedure and best practices

Before injection, verify compatibility with the refrigerant present in the system and respect oil quantities specified by the manufacturer. Connect the can to the low-pressure service port of the refrigeration circuit using an appropriate fitting. Shake vigorously before use to homogenize the oil-dye mixture.

Injection must be performed with engine stopped for automotive systems, or compressor stopped for stationary installations. Inject slowly in small quantities while respecting service pressures. After injection, run the system for 10-15 minutes to ensure good circulation and oil distribution in all components.

For can maintenance, store vertically in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures. Systematically clean fittings after use to avoid deposits and ensure perfect sealing during future interventions.

Expert advice and performance optimization

To maximize leak detection efficiency, perform UV inspection in a dark environment, preferably 24-48 hours after injection to allow good dye circulation. UV LED lamps of 365-385 nm offer the best fluorescent revelation. Methodically inspect all fittings, seals, condenser and evaporator.

This oil pairs perfectly with Duracool eco-friendly refrigerants, notably Deepcool 12a which offers superior performance to R-134a while reducing energy consumption. For conversions of older systems (R-12 to modern refrigerants), this oil facilitates transition by ensuring compatibility with residual oils.

Avoid common errors: never mix directly with incompatible synthetic oils, do not exceed recommended quantities (risk of over-lubrication), and always purge air from fittings before injection. In winter, preheat the can to room temperature to optimize injection fluidity.

Complete your equipment with a professional UV lamp, high-quality service fittings and manifolds for complete and efficient intervention.
