Compressor Oil – A brief Intro

by Kritika Agarwal Satisfy our customers
Generally, compressor oil is formulated from the combinations of high performance additives and highly refined paraffinic base oils so that it can provide excellent lubrication in a range of reciprocating and rotary air compressors. Every grade of ISO viscosity is formulated with brilliant wear protection, corrosion and rust resistance, oxidation performance, foam control and rapid water separation.
Features & Benefits of compressor oil:
Compressor oil is generally produced to offer guaranteed long service life in major of the compressor applications. Oxidation resistance and thermal stability also help the fluids in maintaining cleaner compressors; these in turn enable longer running periods between oil changes and scheduled maintenance. Its brilliant corrosion resistance and anti-wear properties are responsible for enhancing the life of equipment besides maintaining requirements.
Features –
• Superb resistance to thermal degradation and oxidation.
• Effective anti-wear protection
• Brilliant protection from corrosion and rust
• Control of rapid release of air and foam
• Rapid separation of water and oil
Advantages of compressor oil:
• It offers maximum service life, lowered coking and deposits, along with the strength for reduced maintenance.
• It helps in reducing wear of the compressor component and thus helps in reducing requirements of maintenance.
• Internal components of compressor oil are safe from surface degradation and hence extends component life
• Quick release of air and foam protects components from cavitation and aeration damage, and it also reduces wear.
• It requires minimum carryover to downstream tools. Lowers formation of sludge in discharge lines, crankcases, coolers and coalescers.
Functions of compressor oil:
Most of people do not really understand the importance of compressor oil especially on the air compressor. There are huge benefits of using this oil on your compressor. The major function of this oil is lubricating the compressor when it is added to it. Compressor oil suppliers in Navi Mumbai use a particular technique for it, which is called as splash lubrication. Through this technical method, the oil is thrown to the cylinder and machine’s bearings. It can be said that the oil is used to lubricate the entire compressor and thus the compressor operates more powerfully than before.
Applications of compressor oil:
• Compressor oil 68 is fit to be used in screw and rotary vane compressors.
• All compressor oil 68, 122 and 220 are efficiently used as ‘once-through’ lubricator on the responding compressor cylinders, rotary compressors and crankcases. 
• Recommended to be used in R&O lubricants and vacuum pumps in various oil applications in the industry.
• Compressor oil cannot be used for compressing oxygen or any kinds of breathing air.
• In case of critical service applications, where there is a need to use the equipment in higher temperatures, some special grades of compressor oils can be used.
Health & Safety on the usage of compressor oil products:
Besides purchasing the best and desired products from one of the reputed compressor oil suppliers in Navi Mumbai, you should also keep in mind that careful handling and good individual hygiene should also be accomplished. And, avoid swashing it into your eyes, prolonged skin contact, vapour inhalation or ingestion.
