Carrier® PP23BZ101005 is the alkylbenzene (AB) refrigeration oil that Carrier specifies for its R-22 centrifugal chillers. Carrier's own start-up, operation and maintenance instructions for the 19XL name the oil type as an alkylbenzene-based synthetic compressor oil for HCFC-22 gear-driven machines, state a viscosity grade of 86, and give the orderable part number as PP23BZ101.
That is the whole of the published specification, and it is unusual in one respect: the grade Carrier states, 86, is not one of the fixed steps in the ISO 3448 viscosity series. It is Carrier's own designation, reproduced here as the manufacturer publishes it rather than rounded to the nearest class. Carrier does not issue a stand-alone technical data sheet for the PP23BZ range, so the requirement is read out of the equipment documentation, and the document is named against every figure above.
QISHANR is a refrigeration oil manufacturer and wholesale supplier, and this grade is supplied in bulk to distributors, HVACR service companies and compressor OEMs worldwide.
The commercial side of this grade is straightforward, and it is stated here in full rather than left to a quotation email. This grade is supplied wholesale and in bulk — to distributors, HVACR service companies, compressor OEMs and private-label buyers — as well as in single packs and sample quantities.

|---|---|
| Minimum order quantity | No fixed figure. We confirm it per order, because the grade, the pack size, the quantity, the shipping terms and the container load all move it — a single pail and a full container load are both workable. |
| Payment terms | Any commonly used payment method — T/T, L/C, PayPal and every other option — confirmed with the order |
| Price terms | Any Incoterms 2020 term — EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DDP and every other rule — quoted against your destination port |
| Supply ability | 1,000 pieces per year |
| Origin | The original Carrier product, or an equivalent manufactured at our own plant in Foshan, China |
| Payment | Any commonly used payment method — T/T, L/C, PayPal and every other option — confirmed with the order |
| Packing | 18.9 L (5 US gal) pails as the standard pack for this order code, on pallets and shrink-wrapped; 200 L drums and IBCs on request |
| Documents with the quotation | Technical data sheet and safety data sheet |
| Documents with the shipment | Batch certificate of analysis, plus CE, certificate of origin and MSDS for export orders |
| Lead time | Confirmed with the quotation, against the grade and the pack size |
| Who buys this grade | Distributors and resellers; HVACR service companies maintaining Carrier centrifugal and screw chillers; compressor OEMs; private-label and own-brand buyers |
Supply ability is stated for this grade rather than for the plant as a whole, because a single order code does not represent the output of the whole blending line.
The line between one grade and the next is drawn by the compressor, not by the oil. Where two orders in the same family look interchangeable, the nameplate is what decides.
A refrigeration lubricant is rarely bought on its own. The same order usually carries a filter, a second viscosity grade, or the oil for a different machine in the same plant, and splitting those across suppliers costs more in freight and paperwork than it saves on the oil.
The rows below are the things we are asked for alongside this grade.
| What you need | What we do |
|---|---|
| Other grades in the same family | The PP23BZ family covers three different oils: an alkylbenzene for the R-22 centrifugal machines, an ISO VG 68 polyol ester for the HFC-134a centrifugals, and an ISO VG 220 polyol ester for the screw chillers. All three are held, so a plant running more than one Carrier chiller type can be supplied on one order. |
| The QISHANR equivalent | We blend our own polyol ester refrigeration oils at Foshan, including QSL-68H and QSL-220H, for buyers who want a factory-direct grade alongside the Carrier-branded pails. |
| Oil for other Carrier chiller families | Carrier centrifugal and screw chillers are covered by four order codes in this series, and we supply all four. |
| Filters, gaskets and service consumables | Oil filters, O-rings and sight-glass parts are quoted together with the oil on request, so that a service visit is not held up by a missing consumable. |
| Mixed container loads | A single container can carry several grades and pack sizes. Tell us the grades and the quantities and we will plan the load rather than quote each line separately. |
| Private label and own-brand packing | Your label, your part number and your pack size, on our oil, with the batch documentation issued in your name. |
| Documentation for export | CE, certificate of origin, MSDS and transport classification, prepared for the destination country rather than issued as a generic set. |
Send the machine details with the enquiry and we will tell you which of these you actually need — and which you do not.
Grade confirmation comes before pricing, because the PP23BZ family covers more than one machine type and the codes are close enough to be confused.
If you already know the order code and only need a price, send the quantity and the destination and we will skip straight to the quotation.
Carrier states the oil requirement for the PP23BZ range in the chiller literature, and the table below reproduces it line by line against the document it came from.
| Item | Carrier's published requirement | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Oil type for HCFC-22 machines only | Alkylbenzene-based synthetic compressor oil, specifically formatted for use in HCFC-22 gear-driven machines | Carrier 19XL IOM |
| Viscosity grade stated by Carrier | 86, given as an ISO Viscosity Grade — Carrier's own designation for this oil. It is not one of the steps in the ISO 3448 series; see the section below. | Carrier 19XL IOM |
| Carrier part number | PP23BZ101 — ordered from a Carrier representative | Carrier 19XL IOM |
| Oil charge, 19XL compressor | Approximately 11.7 gal (44.3 L) | Carrier 19XL IOM |
| Oil change interval | After the first year of operation, then every three years as a minimum, in addition to a yearly oil analysis | Carrier 19XL IOM |
| Oil filter | Isolatable, so the filter can be changed with the refrigerant left in the chiller | Carrier 19XL IOM |
| Oil for the same chiller family on R-134a | Inhibited polyolester-based synthetic compressor oil, ISO Viscosity Grade 68, part number PP23BZ103 — a different oil for the same machines on a different refrigerant | Carrier 19XL IOM |
| Density, flash point, pour point, acid value | Outside the Carrier specification for this range | — |
The last row is deliberate: it records where the Carrier specification ends, rather than carrying a number over from a distributor listing.
Carrier states a viscosity grade of 86 for this oil. That figure is worth reading carefully, because it does not sit on the ISO viscosity scale that the rest of the industry quotes.
| Question | Answer | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| What grade does Carrier state? | ISO Viscosity Grade 86, for the alkylbenzene oil used with HCFC-22 machines. | Carrier 19XL IOM |
| Is 86 a step in the ISO VG series? | No. ISO 3448 defines the VG series in fixed steps — 68 and 100 are the two nearest — and 86 is not one of them. | ISO 3448:1992 |
| The two nearest steps | ISO VG 68 covers 61.2–74.8 cSt at 40 °C, and ISO VG 100 covers 90–110 cSt. A stated grade of 86 falls between them. | ISO 3448:1992 |
| So what is the 86? | It is Carrier's own designation for this oil, published in the chiller literature rather than derived from the standard. It is reproduced here exactly as Carrier states it. | Carrier 19XL IOM |
| What that means when comparing suppliers | An oil described as "ISO VG 86" by one seller and an oil described as "ISO VG 68" by another are not the same oil, and neither description settles the question. The refrigerant and the compressor are what settle it. | — |
| Why the field is quoted at all | Because it is what the manufacturer publishes, and it is what the chiller documentation uses when a machine is serviced. Rounding it to the nearest class would invent a value Carrier never wrote. | — |
This is the one place in the PP23BZ family where the manufacturer's own viscosity figure does not correspond to a standard class. It is stated as published rather than adjusted to fit the scale.
The PP23BZ range is split by machine family rather than by viscosity alone. The four order codes below are the ones in circulation for Carrier centrifugal and screw chillers, and each is tied to a different refrigerant generation.
| Order code | Machine family | Refrigerant | What Carrier documents |
|---|---|---|---|
| PP23BZ101005 (this product) | 19XL centrifugal chillers | R-22 (HCFC) | Alkylbenzene oil, viscosity grade 86 and part number PP23BZ101 stated in the 19XL start-up, operation and maintenance instructions |
| PP23BZ103005C | 19XR / 19XRV centrifugal chillers | HFC-134a | Oil type, ISO viscosity grade 68 and part number PP23BZ103 stated in Carrier Form 19XR-2SS |
| PP23BZ104005 | 30HXC screw chillers | HFC-134a | Lubricant named as Carrier material specification PP 47-32 in the 30HXC instructions |
| PP23BZ110005C | 30HXC / 30XW / 30XA screw chillers | HFC-134a | Same screw-chiller lubricant requirement as PP23BZ104005 |
Read this table by row. Two codes that sit next to each other in the list are not interchangeable: the machines they serve use different refrigerants and different oil types.
If this order code is not the one you need, the rows below show where it sits against the alternatives we supply.
| Brand | Grade | Viscosity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| QISHANR | Refrigeration oil range | ISO VG 32 to 320 | We blend our own refrigeration oils at Foshan across the viscosity range. The alkylbenzene grade for these machines is quoted against the chiller. View the polyol ester range |
| Carrier | PP23BZ101005 | Carrier grade 86 | The alkylbenzene oil Carrier specifies for the R-22 19XL machines. |
| Carrier | PP23BZ103005C | ISO VG 68 | The polyol ester for the HFC-134a 19XR machines — a different refrigerant, so not interchangeable with this code. View the grade |
| Carrier | PP23BZ104005 | ISO VG 220 | The screw-chiller grade, for the 30HXC machines. View the grade |
| Other brands | Any alkylbenzene for R-22 chillers | Various | A different brand at a similar grade is not automatically a substitute: confirm the refrigerant, the compressor type and the pour point before charging it. |
A stated grade of 86 is not a standard class, so there is no number to match against another brand. Match the refrigerant and the machine instead, and confirm the charge against the nameplate.
Most suppliers of this order code print a table of density, viscosity, flash point and pour point. Those figures sit outside the Carrier specification for this range, and a number that cannot be traced back to the manufacturer is not a specification, it is a claim.
The figures circulating in the market for this family do not even agree with each other: the same order code is listed at two different viscosity classes by different sellers, and none of the listings names a source. The responsible answer is to state what Carrier documents and to confirm the rest against your machine, rather than to publish another unattributed table.
Carrier documents the oil requirement inside the equipment literature for each chiller family. For the R-22 19XL centrifugals, the start-up, operation and maintenance instructions state the oil type, the viscosity grade Carrier uses and the orderable part number, and also the oil charge and the oil change interval. That is a real specification, and it is reproduced above against the document it came from.
The Carrier specification for these order codes covers the oil type, the grade, the part number, the oil charge and the change interval, and it is reproduced above against the document it came from.
If a supplier quotes you a full property table for a PP23BZ order code, ask which Carrier document it came from. If the answer is a distributor listing, it is not a Carrier specification.
The PP23BZ codes are close together — PP23BZ103, PP23BZ104, PP23BZ110 — and they sit on machines with different refrigerants and different compressor designs. Two of them share a viscosity class and are still not interchangeable, because the refrigerant and the compressor type differ.
That is why the order code and the machine family carry more weight than a viscosity number. A buyer who selects by viscosity alone can end up with the right flow behaviour and the wrong oil.
Every enquiry for this family is checked against the machine before a quotation is issued. Send the chiller model and serial number, or a photograph of the nameplate and the oil label, and we will confirm the order code that belongs in it.
Where the machine cannot be identified, we say so rather than guess. A hermetic compressor that is charged with the wrong oil is an expensive repair, and the cost of that mistake is far higher than the value of the order.
Buyers sometimes ask whether another brand at the same viscosity class can be used instead. The answer depends on the refrigerant, the compressor type and the pour point the machine needs, not on the class alone.
Where a substitution is possible we will say so and name the grade we would supply. Where it is not, we will say that too. Both answers are useful; only one of them is safe.
The terms above are written out rather than left to a quotation email, because the questions that stall a B2B order are almost always commercial: what the minimum order is, which Incoterms apply, how payment is made, and what documents arrive with the shipment.
On minimum order we deliberately do not print a number. It is judged per order, because the grade, the pack size, the quantity, the shipping terms and the container load all move it, and a single pail and a full container load are both workable.
A: Yes. Carrier states an alkylbenzene-based synthetic compressor oil for this application, specifically formatted for use in HCFC-22 gear-driven machines.
A: The R-22 19XL-series hermetic centrifugal chillers. It is not the oil for the HFC-134a 19XR machines, which take a polyol ester in the same family.
A: Carrier states a viscosity grade of 86. That is Carrier's own designation rather than a step on the ISO 3448 scale, whose two nearest steps are 68 and 100, so it is quoted here exactly as published.
A: Because their figure is not sourced to a Carrier document. There is nothing to round 86 to, and inventing a class for it would make a published value look like a standard one.
A: No. Carrier does not issue a per-grade datasheet for the PP23BZ range. The oil requirement is stated in the chiller literature, and this page reproduces it against the document it came from.
A: The 19XL instructions give approximately 11.7 gal (44.3 L) for the compressor. The level in your unit is what decides the charge, so confirm it against the machine before filling.
A: Carrier recommends changing the oil after the first year of operation and every three years thereafter as a minimum, in addition to a yearly oil analysis. With continuous oil monitoring and a yearly analysis, the interval can be extended.
A: Our standard export pack is 18.9 L (5 US gal) pails, with 200 L drums and IBCs on request. The pack size is confirmed with the quotation.
A: There is no fixed figure. It is confirmed per order, because the pack size, the quantity, the shipping terms and the container load all move it.
A: Any Incoterms 2020 term, including EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF and DDP, and any commonly used payment method, including T/T, L/C and PayPal.
A: A batch certificate of analysis with every shipment, plus CE, certificate of origin and MSDS for export orders. The technical data sheet and safety data sheet come with the quotation.

This oil is manufactured and supplied by Guangzhou Qishanr Technologies Co., Ltd., trading as the brand QISHANR. The company is based in Foshan, Guangdong, adjacent to Guangzhou Port, and has been producing lubricants for more than 10 years from its own blending plant. That plant runs at an annual capacity of 6,000 tonnes, which is what allows us to hold stock on the grades we list and quote firm lead times rather than promising on behalf of a third party.
Refrigeration oils are the core of the business, but they are not the whole plant. The same lines produce general industrial lubricants, so a mixed enquiry that covers both refrigeration oils and ordinary industrial grades can be quoted, packed and shipped together instead of being split across suppliers.
This is not the full range. Specialised ester base oils and lubricant additives are produced in-house as well, which is the reason the synthetic ester grades can be specified to a target rather than bought off a shelf. If the grade you need is not listed above, send the specification or the product you are replacing and we will confirm whether we produce it.
Long-term partners get pricing that reflects a stable manufacturing base rather than a trading margin, and the same technical contact stays with the account from grade selection through to repeat orders.
A quotation depends on the grade, the pack size and the destination rather than on a list price. Send the chiller model and serial number, or a photograph of the nameplate and the oil label, and we will confirm the grade and return the price, the lead time and the data sheets together.
