Description
ADVANTAGES:
- Reduce carbon formation and the risk of explosion, and increase safety
- Virtually eliminate varnish and sludge deposits, ensuring that items such as oil/air separators in rotary. Compressors function efficiently at all times.
- Provide better demulsibility, which is needed for rapid and complete water separation (this is particularly oil flooded compressors, where condensate can accumulate in oil receivers).
- Extend oil drainage intervals up to 8000 hours or 12 month’s operations
- Outstanding operating temperatures range which will affect operating economics in compressor down time and lubricant utilization.
- Good compatibility with elastomers used as seals in reciprocating compressors.
- Reduce oil consumption and carry over by virtue of their low volatility and good lubrication properties
- Maintain the high efficiency of reciprocating compressors by significantly reducing valve deposits.
- Reduce maintenance costs by reducing wear and deposits associated with the use of mineral oils, savings on replacement parts and labour can be achieved.
- Improve oil receiver and crankcase performance by virtue of their low foaming properties
