Issue:
My new Copeland compressor shipped with POE oil, how is this installed on a system with existing mineral oil?
Resolution:
Copeland now ships R-22 compressors with POE oil. When using R-22 HCFC refrigerant, POE and Mineral Oil can be mixed. Note that HFC refrigerants can only use POE oil.
Only if an alternative refrigerant like R-407C is being installed should the attached document be used. It provides Copeland instructions on steps that need to be taken to remove the mineral oil from the existing system. See step 3 of the document for retrofitting procedures.
