Global Refrigeration Oil Market to Reach Valuation of US$ 1.4 billion by 2026
Refrigeration oil is a high-temperature composition made up of additives and oil that is designed to work in harsh conditions. These oils are made to be used in air conditioning systems. Refrigeration oil is primarily used to lubricate compressor bearings and other moving elements. It's also utilized to reduce friction on metal parts, reduce compressor wear, and lengthen the compressor's life. Mineral oil and synthetic oil are the two types of refrigeration oils utilized. These are used in refrigerators and freezers, air conditioners, automotive air conditioning systems, and aftermarkets for replenishing.
The refrigeration oil market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1 percent from USD
