Compressor Oil EP VDL
Categories: Industrial - Compressor

High performance, petroleum-based compressor oil specifically designed for severe operating conditions.  An advance additive technology delivers stable high temperature oxidation resistance with reduced deposit formation on pistons and valves, excellent corrosion protection, foam inhibition, and extreme pressure performance. 


RECOMMENDED FOR

Single-stage and multi-stage reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, and oil flooded screw compressors operating at high temperatures of up to 220°C

Air or inert gas reciprocating compressors

Stationary, semi-portable and portable units

Not recommended for use in breathing air compressors


PRODUCT BENEFITS

Potential maintenance and downtime savings
Low carbon-forming tendency reduces the build-up of harmful deposits on critical areas such as discharge valves, maintaining compressor performance under severe operating conditions.   Effective corrosion inhibition protects against rust caused by moisture entering the system, particularly during shutdown and intermittent operation.
 
Oxidative and thermal stability
High temperature oxidation stability resists oil breakdown at high discharge temperatures in compressor crankcase applications.

Smooth operation
Effective anti-foam properties of the highly refined base oil and inhibitor system  minimize the possibility of foaming and overflow in tanks and reservoirs.  Air release properties protect against the interruption of lubrication due to entrained air,
