NEXT POE
POE Refrigeration Compressor Lubricant (Series 422)
Polyolester (POE) refrigeration lubricant for conventional HFC and low-GWP (global warming potential) HFO refrigerants. Thirteen grades from VG 22 to VG 380 — the broadest viscosity range in the NEXT refrigeration portfolio — with a Total Acid Number below 0.05 mg KOH/g across all grades.
NEXT POE is a polyolester refrigeration lubricant formulated for both conventional HFC and low-GWP HFO refrigerants. This single product family serves both existing installed equipment and new systems on HFO blends. Its formulation maintains a Total Acid Number below 0.05 mg KOH/g across all thirteen viscosity grades, providing a buffer against moisture-induced acid formation.
Pour points reach −57 °C (−71 °F) in lighter grades, ensuring cold-start fluidity and efficient lubricant return. The additive system protects bearings and rotors across various compressor types. Available from VG 22 to VG 380, NEXT POE covers reciprocating, rotary screw, centrifugal, scroll, and rotary vane refrigeration compressors — offering one product family for distributors and service operations managing multi-brand refrigeration fleets.
