HANBELL HBR-B01 Refrigeration Oil: What to Check Before Ordering

HANBELL HBR-B01 is a synthetic polyol ester (POE) refrigeration oil in the 320 viscosity class. The product is paired with Qishanr QSL-320H for screw compressors operating in air-conditioning and heat-pump duty. Before requesting a quotation, send the compressor model, refrigerant, current oil, required quantity and destination. Those details determine whether the 320 class and the 18.9 L pail format match the job.

Is HANBELL HBR-B01 the grade your compressor needs?

HANBELL HBR-B01 belongs to the HBR-B series of synthetic POE refrigeration oils. It is the heaviest grade in that series and is paired with Qishanr QSL-320H for screw compressors in air-conditioning and heat-pump applications. The product number is HANBELL HBR-B01, and the product page identifies the supplied package as an 18.9 L pail.

The base-oil family and viscosity class are the first two checks. A compressor specification that calls for a POE oil in the 320 class points toward the HBR-B01 selection path. A specification for a lighter class points to a different grade, even when the brand and package look similar. The container size does not define the oil grade, and the HBR-B01 name should be matched against the compressor requirement rather than selected from the package alone.

The product record also lists use with CFC-13, miscibility with CFC-503, and use with HFC, hydrocarbon mixed refrigerants or HCFC refrigerants. It lists CO2 applications through special additives. For a purchase request, write the refrigerant exactly as it appears in the equipment documentation so the grade check and quotation use the same application details.

What should you verify on the compressor before ordering HBR-B01?

The fastest way to avoid a wrong quotation is to collect the information from the compressor and the oil container before contacting a supplier.

Compressor model and compressor type

Record the complete compressor model, including the suffix on the nameplate. The model identifies the compressor family and helps separate screw-compressor duty from other applications. HBR-B01 is associated with screw compressors in air-conditioning and heat-pump duty, so the model is more useful than a general description such as “chiller oil.”

If the system contains more than one compressor, list each model. A mixed installation may use different oil grades, and a single product name in the enquiry can hide that difference.

Refrigerant and operating duty

Record the refrigerant in the circuit and the equipment duty. The product description covers several refrigerant families, while the 320-class cross-reference is paired with air-conditioning and heat-pump screw-compressor conditions. Include whether the machine is used for air conditioning, a heat pump, process cooling or another duty.

The HANBELL RC2 technical document is useful when the compressor model and the oil requirement need to be checked together. A clear model and refrigerant entry gives the quotation team a practical starting point.

Existing oil and viscosity class

Write down the brand, grade and viscosity class of the oil currently in the system. If the system is being filled after service, state the previous charge and the quantity removed. “POE oil” describes a base-oil family, but it does not identify the required viscosity class by itself.

The same check applies when replacing another brand. A 320-class cross-reference can identify the relevant comparison group, but the compressor model and refrigerant still need to match the intended application. This is why a request that includes the current oil is easier to process than a request that only says “HBR-B01 price.”

Which HBR-B01 details matter for the quotation?

A quotation becomes more useful when it includes the pack, quantity, destination and delivery term. The product record lists the following commercial details:

The product page is the right place to start for the current product route and the HBR-B01 quotation request. Include the number of pails and the destination port in the same message. Freight terms can be compared when the quantity and destination are included.

The 18.9 L package is useful for service orders that need a defined pail count. If the project needs another package size or a private-label format, include that as a separate requirement so it is handled as a quotation item rather than assumed from the standard product page.

What are the key HBR-B01 reference values?

HBR-B01 has the following product reference values and test methods in the product specification record:

These figures help a buyer compare the requested grade with the specification used by the service team. The test method belongs beside the number because “flash point” or “density” without the stated method can create confusion between different laboratory fields.

The ASTM D97 standard page covers pour point testing. The ASTM D92 standard covers flash point testing by Cleveland open cup. The ASTM D664 standard page covers acid number testing for petroleum products and lubricants.

How should you read a 320-class cross-reference?

A 320-class cross-reference helps organize the purchase request. The listed comparison group includes Qishanr QSL-320H, HANBELL HBR-B01, BITZER B320SH, Suniso SL320, McQuay M, Fusheng FS300R, York/Frick G, Trane OIL0025E and CPI320. The compressor duty attached to the row is air-conditioning and heat-pump screw-compressor work.

That group is useful when a service team is replacing an identified product or preparing a multi-brand purchasing list. It also gives a buyer a consistent way to describe the target grade when asking for equivalent supply. The BITZER B320SH product page is a related 320-class product route, while Qishanr QSL-320H is the in-house product paired with HBR-B01 in the current product description.

The final order depends on the compressor model, refrigerant, base-oil family and viscosity requirement. A 320 number does not make every oil suitable for every machine. Use the cross-reference to identify the comparison group, then send the equipment details with the enquiry. For broader refrigerant and oil context, see the HFC refrigerant oil compatibility guide and the POE oil versus mineral oil comparison. For the wider model comparison, see the BITZER compressor oil cross-reference guide.

What information should you send for an HBR-B01 quote?

A complete enquiry can be prepared in a few lines:

1. Compressor model: copy the full nameplate model and suffix.
2. Refrigerant: state the refrigerant in the circuit.
3. Equipment duty: identify air-conditioning, heat-pump, process-cooling or another application.
4. Current oil: include the brand, grade and viscosity class being replaced.
5. Quantity: state litres, pails or the number of 18.9 L packages required.
6. Destination: provide the destination port or delivery postcode.
7. Trade term: request EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF when you need a comparable landed quotation.
8. Product route: specify whether the request is for original HANBELL product, Qishanr equivalent supply or a comparison of both.
9. Documents: list the TDS, SDS, batch COA or export paperwork required by your customer.

You can send the request through the Qishanr contact page. Including the compressor model and current oil at the beginning keeps the technical check ahead of the price discussion.

What mistakes cause HBR-B01 ordering delays?

The first common mistake is treating the number 320 as the entire selection decision. The viscosity class is important, but the compressor model, refrigerant and base-oil family connect that number to a real application.

The second mistake is sending only a brand name. A request such as “Hanbell oil” does not identify HBR-B01, its package, quantity or the compressor duty. Add the complete grade name and the model from the machine nameplate.

The third mistake is leaving freight information until after the price is quoted. EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF produce different numbers, and the destination port affects the comparison. Put the destination and preferred trade term in the first message.

The fourth mistake is mixing a product replacement question with a general request for every viscosity in the HBR range. If the equipment needs the 320 class, start with HBR-B01 and provide the machine details. If the required class is different, state that class directly so the enquiry goes to the correct product family.
