SPEC OIL COMPRESSOR SYNTHETIC 46
DESCRIPTION
Spec oil Compressor 46 Synthetic is a premium quality lubricant
specifically designed for rotary screw compressors running at very high or very
low temperatures, or in severe service applications where there can be no risk
of varnish or carbon residue on compressor components. Spec oil Compressor 46
Synthetic is formulated from a custom blend of polyalkylene glycol (PAG) and
ester fluids, and is fortified with anti-wear and anti-corrosion additives.
BENEFITS
Will not form varnish or carbon residue on
compressor even at very high operating temperatures:
§ Better
resistance to oxidative breakdown caused by exposure to air at high discharge
temperatures.
§ Keeps compressor
components completely free of carbon, sludge and varnish.
§ Ensures trouble
free operation and lower maintenance costs on fluid change-out
§ Extends oil
change intervals to 8,000 hours service in rotary screw compressors, even at
air discharge temperatures as high as 105 ◦C (221 ◦F)
Operates at very high and very low temperatures:
§ Provides worry
free service, even in extreme operating conditions.
§ Allows quick
start-up, in low ambient temperature applications.
§ Ideal for
compressors operating in remote environments where the risk of compressor
downtime is critical.
Excellent protection against wear:
§ Prolongs the
service life of working components.
§ Can extend the
time between compressor overhauls.
§ Reduces overall
maintenance costs.
Protects against rust and corrosion:
- Helps to extend component life.
Low volatility reduces oil carry-over into the air
system:
- Reduces fluid consumption.
APPLICATIONS
Spec oil Compressor 46 Synthetic is specifically designed for rotary screw
air compressors operating in severe applications, including high and low
temperature extremes.
Spec oil Compressor 46 Synthetic is suitable for use in compressors that
handle air and inert gases such as nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, neon, helium,
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and blast furnace gas.
Spec oil Compressor 46 Synthetic is compatible with standard seal and hose
materials used in most compressors.
Note: This product should not be used in systems compressing wet or sour
hydrocarbon gases. It must also not be used in the compression of oxygen, or
other chemically active gases such as chlorine or hydrogen chloride.
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
The full benefits of a change to Spec oil Compressor
32 Semi Synthetic will only be realized by minimizing contamination with the
previously used oil. Certain makes of compressors do not permit complete
draining, so if the drained oil is heavily oxidized (shown by significant
increase in the oil’s total acid number and viscosity), recharging with Spec oil
Compressor 32 Semi Synthetic may not result in optimum performance and fluid service
life.
While Spec oil Compressor 32 Semi Synthetic is fully
compatible with most mineral and synthetic compressor fluids, it should not be
mixed or contaminated with fluids containing polyalkylene glycols or silicones.
