| Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR
OIL is a petroleum-based product, highly refined, coupled with superior
anti-rust, anti-oxidation, anti-foaming, and anti-wear additives. These
oils reduce friction and wear as well as provide long life due to quality
additives and exceptional refining methods. |
COMPRESSOR OILFor
Reciprocating Equipment
While rotary compressors (both screw
and vane machines) are being applied in greater and greater numbers, reciprocating
units still make up the majority of the compressors in service in industry.
Reciprocating compressors all operate on the same basic principle and present
several unique maintenance and lubrication requirements.
Ordinarily Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR
OIL ISO 100 (SAE 30) is the lubricant
of choice both in the crankcase and on the valve side of the compressor.
Higher operating temperatures may cause you to choose Texas Refinery Corp.'s
SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OIL ISO
100 (SAE 30) for the valve side of the compressor. Colder temperatures
may cause you to choose COMPRESSOR OIL ISO
68 (SAE 20) for the crankcase and/or valve side of the compressor.
Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR OIL helps
provide a clean crankcase and properly operating valves, rings, and cylinders
which are key to trouble-free compressor service and lower maintenance
costs.
COMPRESSOR OILFor
Screw Compressors
In the screw compressor, the intermeshing
rotors never actually come into contact with each other. Because compression
is the major source of heat, the operating temperature of screw compressors
is generally lower than in vane compressors. The lower temperatures translate
into longer service life of the lubricant. Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR
OIL ISO 32 (SAE 10), ISO 46 (SAE 15)
and ISO 68 (SAE 20) are recommended for screw compressors depending on
the manufacturer's requirements.
COMPRESSOR OILFor
Flooded Vane Units
In flooded vane compressors you have
to deal with high rotation speed which generates excessive friction. In
this severe environment, the lubricants must withstand high temperatures
and constant shearing action. Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR
OIL contains superior anti-oxidation additives blended with base
oils that have been put through severe refining steps to increase the oil's
life when under high temperature operating conditions. Flooded rotary vane
compressors normally use COMPRESSOR OIL ISO
32 (SAE 10), ISO 46 (SAE 15) and ISO 68 (SAE 20) depending on manufacturers'
recommendations.
COMPRESSOR OILSeparates
From Water
Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR
OILS have an ability to separate from water. This ability is known
as demulsibility. Since these oils are expected to give extended service
life, it is important they do not retain water they may contact or may
have introduced to them through condensation, cooler leaks or other sources.
Retained water could cause equipment damage through rust and changes in
the fluid characteristics of the oil. Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR
OILS have superior emulsion-breaking characteristics.
COMPRESSOR OILIs
Very Stable
Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR
OILS, regardless of the viscosity specified, are very stable against
viscosity change because they are made from high viscosity index paraffin
base oils. They have been put through severe refining steps such as solvent
extraction, hydro-treating and de-waxing to assure maximum lubrication
film protection. These oils will resist thinning out under heat or thickening
up under cooler temperatures.
COMPRESSOR OILGives
Superior Performance
Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR
OIL provides high film strength to minimize friction and to protect
from wear during starting and stopping periods. The high film strength
also helps prevent the oil film from thinning excessively during other
high loading situations. Anti-foam is another very important additive system
incorporated in Texas Refinery Corp.'s COMPRESSOR
OIL. By reducing the chance of foaming, along with the wear-reducing
properties of the oil and other additives, COMPRESSOR
OIL provides increased wear protection to the bearings and other
moving parts of the compressors. |
