PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils are long-life, premium compressor lubricants
based on novel, proprietary technology. They improve compressor efficiency and
extend drain intervals in reciprocating (piston) compressors and vacuum pumps
where high discharge temperatures or carbon build-up are a concern.
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils incorporate the highest
quality, thermally-stable synthetic esters fortified with premium non-detergent,
ashless additives for maximum protection at high temperatures and pressures
where petroleum lubricants typically break down.
Improves Compressor Efficiency
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils are designed to prevent hard carbon deposits
on valves for greatly improved compressor efficiency. Valve maintenance
intervals are extended and recompression is virtually eliminated. AMSOIL
Compressor Oils help reduce heat and improve compressor efficiency, saving money
through lower electrical energy consumption.
Reduces Wear
Unlike other compressor oils, AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils are anti-wear
fortified. They help reduce wear in high contact regions for increased
compressor life and efficiency.
Extends Oil Life
AMSOIL DC Series Compressor Oils combine the inherent oxidation resistance of
synthetic esters with highly potent oxidation inhibitors. They last several
times longer than petroleum oils, effectively reducing maintenance and waste oil
disposal costs.
Reduced Oil Consumption
The low volatility, highly polar nature of AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils
reduces the amount of oil needed for cylinder lubrication compared to petroleum
oils. Drip feed rates can be lowered, downstream oil is minimized and money is
saved on make-up oil.
Resists Water Contamination
Water from condensation builds up in compressors that can cause oil/water
emulsions, environmental discharge hazards and rust. AMSOIL DC Synthetic
Compressor Oils readily separate from water, and they are anti-rust fortified.
Water can be easily drained off for simplified environmental discharge and
increased oil life.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils are ashless, high flash point formulations
with very low carbon-forming tendencies that minimize the incidence of
ignition-promoting “hot spots.” While DC Synthetic Compressor Oils can provide
improved fire safety, they cannot be considered non-flammable.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
The appropriate viscosity of AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oil is recommended
for use in rotary vane and reciprocating compressors and vacuum pumps. Drain
intervals of 8,000 hours or more can be expected under normal operation. This is
subject to operating conditions and maintenance practices. Monitoring by oil
analysis is recommended.
Compatibility
DC Synthetic Compressor Oils are compatible with petroleum and most other
synthetic-based lubricants (not compatible with polyalkylene glycol or silicone
oils). For best performance, AMSOIL recommends the compressor be thoroughly
drained and cleaned if needed prior to the installation of DC Synthetic
Compressor Oils. If carbon deposits are present on the internal components, it
is recommended they be removed following the manufacturer recommendations. For
the first 500 hours of operation, check the filters regularly and clean or
replace as necessary.
