SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OIL

FOR MOST COMPRESSORS USE UP TO 40% LESS LESS DOWN STREAM PROBLEMS COMPATIBLE WITH NON-DETERGENT OILS PROVIDES LONG SERVICE LIFE COMPATIBLE WITH MOST SEALS

SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OIL provides the potential for reduced oil consumption, extended drain intervals, and reduced maintenance cost.

Texas Refinery Corp.'s SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OILS are Di-Ester based, superior quality synthetic fluids combined with the latest developments in additive technology. This optimum combination makes it superior in oxidation and thermal characteristics. They result in lubrication performance that provides the potential for reduced oil consumption, extended drain intervals, reduced maintenance costs, as well as reduced varnish, sludge, and carbon deposits. In addition, SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OIL ISO 32, 68 and 100 is authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as an H2 lubricant which has no contact with food.

For Most Compressors

The weights, ISO Grade 32 (SAE 10) and ISO Grade 68 (SAE 20) are recommended for screw and flooded rotary vane compressors. The ISO Grade 100 (SAE 30) is recommended for reciprocating (piston) compressors. In fact, the ISO Grade 100 (SAE 30) is ideal for lubrication of both the crankcase and the cylinder side of the piston type compressor.

Up To 40% Less Usage

Petroleum lubricants are quite often inadequate to handle the heat the cylinder side of larger reciprocating (piston) type compressors generate. To make up for their inability to handle the heat, most petroleum lubricants are over-used. This, in turn, creates excessive deposits of carbon which can result in fires and explosions. Can result in up to 40% reduction in the amount of fluid needed to lubricate the cylinders.

Remember, the feed rate of lubricant into the cylinder side should be reduced only after careful inspection to confirm a light lubricant film on the cylinder walls and on the valves.

Less Down Stream Problems

In addition, SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OIL ISO Grade 100 (SAE 30) used in the crankcase of reciprocating compressors may reduce make-up oil consumption by 20% to 30% when compared to petroleum products. The low-vapor pressure exhibited by the synthetic oilmeans less lubricant is vaporized and carried down stream from the compressor. This is translated into fewer problems caused by oil carry-over to air tools, instruments, or the production processes. It can also mean fewer air filter changes and less oil that must be removed by oil/air separators.

Compatible With Non-Detergent Oils

Since there may be a change from regular compressor oils to synthetics, the question of compatibility is there. SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OILS are compatible with conventional non-detergent petroleum oils. However, if such oils are inadvertently added, the performance of the SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OIL will be reduced. The inadvertent addition of detergent systems such as engine oils and the automatic transmission fluids may impair performance and lead to operational problems which could include foaming, filter plugging, and sludge formation.

Provides Long Service Life

Economical when compared to petroleum products because of the extremely long life of the synthetics. Oils consumption in piston compressors is lowered due to reduced oil feed rates. In reciprocating compressors, the crankcase lubricant can achieve a drain internal of 8,000 hours or more. This is possible because of the excellent thermal stability, low volatility, excellent oxidation resistance, and superior anti-sheer properties.

Significant increases in the drain interval of SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OIL in rotary vane and screw compressors are also possible. The Texas Refinery Corp. products are capable of 4,000 to 8,000 hours or more with oil analysis.

Compatible With Most Seals

Compatible with the seal materials, paints, plastics, and metals that are commonly found in today's compressors. The types of seals that are compatible are:

Fluorocarbons - such as Viton and Teflon Fluorosilicone rubbers Silicone Rubber Epichlorohydrin Nitrile Rubber - greater than 30% Acrylonitrile Polyacrylate Rubber Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene Polyurethane

There are some seal materials that ARE NOT recommended and these are:

Polyasulfide such as Thiokol Ethylene - Propylene Terpolymer Polychloropene-Neoprene Nitrile Rubber - Less than 30% Acrylonitrile Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Butyl Rubber Ethylene Propylene Copolymer Natural Rubber

Over the last several years, major equipment builders of rotary and reciprocating compressors have evaluated synthetic oils in their equipment. Their conclusions indicate that synthetic compressor oils do offer definite advantages over petroleum oils.
