For Rotary and
Reciprocating Compressors
AMSOIL
SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants are formulated with
premium synthetic ester technology. These high quality, long life
fluids last several times longer in use than mineral-based oils.
AMSOIL SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants are fully
formulated with non-detergent additives and are designed for use in
rotary screw, vane and reciprocating compressors. SE Series Synthetic
Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants increase operating efficiency, reducing
money spent on energy, repair and maintenance costs.
AMSOIL SE Series
Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants maintain performance across a
wide operating temperature range. The low pour points, high viscosity
indices and lack of paraffins (wax) make these excellent all season
lubricants. At high temperatures, SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor
Oils/Coolants form virtually no carbon, allowing for clean operation.
At cold temperatures, equipment starts easier and the lubricant is
quickly pumped to critical components, preventing lubricant starvation
and excessive wear. SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants
also resist water to prevent damaging oil/water emulsions, allowing
for longer lubricant life and ease of water removal from the sump.

SAFETY ADVANTAGE
AMSOIL SE Series
Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants have higher flash, fire and
auto ignition points than competitive petroleum oils. Their resistance
to carbon formation and the ashless additive system minimize the
incidence of deposits acting as ignition-promoting hot spots. Although
AMSOIL SE Series increase fire safety, they cannot be considered
non-flammable.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL
SEI is a multi-viscosity oil meeting the requirements of 5w-20. It may
be used in applications calling for either an ISO-32 or ISO-46
compressor oil or coolant. It is recommended for use in single and
multi-stage rotary screw compressors and vacuum pumps that call for
this viscosity.
When
installing AMSOIL SEI, it is recommended that the old oil be
thoroughly drained and if warranted, the system cleaned. If a lot of
carbon or residue is found on the internal compressor parts, follow
the manufacturer's recommendations for removal prior to installing the
new oil. AMSOIL SE Series
Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants have a high level of solvency
and may remove deposits left in the system. Check the filters and
oil/air separators regularly for the first 500 hours of operation and
replace as necessary.
AMSOIL SEI is compatible
with and recommended as a replacement for much higher priced
polyalkylene glycol (PAG) compressor oils or coolants such as Sullube
32® and Ingersoll Rand SSR Ultra Coolant®. No flushing is necessary
when changing over from Glycol Coolants to AMSOIL SEI. However,
draining the system and changing the filters is recommended.
AMSOIL SEI is
recommended for use up to 8,000+ hours for most compressor
applications. However, this is subject to operating conditions and
maintenance practices.* Monitoring by oil analysis every 1,000 hours
is recommended.
* Where discharge
temperature exceeds 205°F, lubricant life expectancy is reduced.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL SEI is
compatible with petroleum oils, most synthetic oils*, and many seals,
paints and materials commonly used in compressors. Materials
recommended and not recommended for use with SEI oils/coolants are
listed below. For additional information, see the AMSOIL Compatibility
Guide (G-1274) or consult your AMSOIL Dealer or AMSOIL INC.
*AMSOIL SE Series
is NOT RECOMMENDED as a replacement or for use with the silicone based
compressor oil Sullube 24KT®. AMSOIL SE Series is NOT RECOMMENDED for
use in "Breathing Air or Refrigeration" compressors.
