PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil (SEI) is formulated with premium
synthetic ester technology. This high-quality, long-life fluid lasts several
times longer in use than mineral-based oils. AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil
is fully formulated with nondetergent additives and is designed for use in
rotary screw compressors and vacuum pumps. SIROCCO® effectively protects
against wear, oxidation, foam and rust and has inherent lubricity and good
thermal conductivity which allow it to reduce heat and energy consumption.
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil increases operating efficiency, reducing
money spent on energy, repair and maintenance costs.
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil
maintains performance across a wide operating temperature range. Its low
pour point, high viscosity index and lack of paraffins (wax) makes it an
excellent all season lubricant. At high temperatures, SIROCCO® forms
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. SIROCCO®
Compressor Oil also resists water to prevent damaging oil/water emulsions,
allowing for longer lubricant life and ease of water removal from the sump.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
• Resists foaming
• Rust and oxidation inhibited
• Readily separates from water
• Recommended for use in rotary screw compressors
• Long-life/extended drain performance.
• Compatible with polyglycol fluids such as Sullair Sullube 32® and
Ingersoll-Rand SSR Ultra-coolant®
• Biodegradable under the CEC-L33-A94 standard safety advantage
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Ester Compressor
Oil has higher flash, fire and auto ignition points than competitive
petroleum oils. Its resistance to carbon formation and the ashless additive
system minimize the incidence of deposits acting as ignition-promoting hot
spots. Although AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil increases fire
safety, it cannot be considered nonflammable.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil 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 SIROCCO® Compressor
Oil, 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 SIROCCO® Compressor Oil has
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 SIROCCO® Compressor Oil is compatible
with and recommended as a replacement for much higher priced polyalkylene
glycol (PAG) compressor oils or coolants such as Sullair Sullube 32® and
Ingersoll Rand SSR Ultra Coolant®. No flushing is necessary when changing
over from Glycol Coolants to AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil. However,
draining the system and changing the filters is recommended.
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil 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.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil 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 SIROCCO®
Compressor Oil are listed below.
*AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil is NOT RECOMMENDED as a
replacement for or for use with the silicone-based compressor oil Sullair
