Notes	The Virginia ETK acid test kit is the easiest way of determining if the acid level of polyol ester (POE) compressor lubricants is considered safe or too acidic. POE lubricants are actually created by reacting an alcohol with an acid. Although the total acid numbers are higher than in comparable mineral oils, the chemical make-up of POE lubricants keeps this number relatively low. However, this lubricant can break down into its acid and alcohol components either from excessive heat such as a motor burn-out or high discharge temperatures, or with excessive system moisture. This acid can cause damage to a system and may eventually cause the system to fail prematurely. It is important that such a condition be diagnosed early and that system be cleaned up according to proper industry procedures.
