Totaline SW220 is a synthetic polyol ester (POE) refrigeration compressor oil, ISO VG 220, developed for Carrier and Carlyle screw, reciprocating and semi-hermetic compressors in commercial and industrial HFC refrigeration systems. Its high flash point, thermal stability and miscibility with R134a, R404A, R410A and R507 make it a practical service choice for chiller and cold-room compressor top-ups, oil changes and maintenance programmes.
Service fills for Carrier and Carlyle screw compressor models, including the 06NA and 06NW series commonly fitted in water-cooled and air-cooled chillers. Always confirm the compressor model against your service documentation before ordering.
Suitable for reciprocating and semi-hermetic compressor applications where the OEM specifies an ISO VG 220 POE lubricant with HFC refrigerants.
Used in commercial HVAC chillers, packaged units and process cooling circuits where a VG 220 ester oil is required for reliable long-life operation. See our guide to POE refrigeration oil for commercial HVAC and industrial refrigeration.
For industrial refrigeration circuits charged with R134a, R404A, R410A or R507, SW220 delivers the viscosity and chemical stability needed for continuous duty in demanding environments.
Before you order: confirm the compressor model, refrigerant charge and the current oil reference from the compressor nameplate. POE oil must match both the refrigerant chemistry and the OEM viscosity specification — see how industrial refrigeration buyers verify POE lubricant compatibility before purchase.

Before substituting any oil, collect the OEM documentation for your compressor. Our checklist for replacing OEM refrigeration compressor oil walks through the documents a buyer should request and verify.
SW220 is supplied in 1 L, 5 L and 20 L packs. For scheduled oil changes, we recommend keeping the 5 L pack for top-ups and the 20 L drum for full system refills. Moisture control is critical with POE oils — see why moisture control matters for POE service fills before opening a container.
Tell us your compressor model, refrigerant and current oil reference when you ask for a quote, so we can confirm the specification, packaging and lead time for your maintenance programme.
A: SW220 is used in Carrier and Carlyle screw compressor applications, including 06NA and 06NW series machines common in chillers, plus reciprocating and semi-hermetic compressors where the OEM specifies an ISO VG 220 POE oil. Confirm the model on the compressor nameplate and match it to your service documentation.
A: SW220 is a POE oil formulated for HFC refrigerants including R134a, R404A, R410A and R507, with R1234ze also listed in the compatibility range. It is not a replacement for mineral or alkylbenzene oils in R22, ammonia or hydrocarbon systems.
A: No. R22 systems typically use mineral or alkylbenzene oil, and ammonia systems require oils rated for NH3 compatibility. SW220 is designed for HFC systems — using it in R22 or ammonia circuits can cause oil return and lubrication problems.
A: PP23BZ110005C is a Carrier service part commonly cross-referenced with SW220-grade POE oil, and Castrol Icematic SW 220 is a frequently cited interchange. Treat these as cross-reference starting points, not automatic substitutions — confirm the viscosity grade and OEM specification for your exact compressor model before ordering.
A: SW220 is available in 1 L, 5 L and 20 L packs. For bulk or scheduled maintenance requirements, share your expected monthly consumption with us and we will confirm pricing and lead time.
A: Send us the compressor model, refrigerant and current oil reference, and request the product data sheet. Our team confirms the viscosity grade and compatibility against your application before you place an order.
