New compressor lubricants
November 1st 2007 Choosing a high performance lubricant will have a sizeable impact on the lifetime of a compressor, its efficiency as well as service routine, filter and separator life. Batoyle Freedom Group has developed its range of compressor lubricants. Based upon the original Typhon technology, the formulations now incorporate the very latest in performance enhancing additive systems. Consistent with these formulations being completely ashless, wear protection and corrosion/oxidation resistance have all been significantly boosted. Low foam characteristics and demulsibility (water separation) also assist in reducing oil carry over and downstream filtration costs. These enhancements are said to improve lubrication and thermal stability, reduce deposit formation and extend oil service intervals up to 4,000 hours (dependent on lubricant grade and compressor type). In addition to the conventional mineral oil based products, the Typhon range includes fully synthetic formulations and Food Safe products which meet FDA/NSF H1 requirements and the recommendations of the BCAS/BRC Food Grade Code of Practice. The Typhon range is completed with Flush 1219, an internal cleaning agent specifically designed for use with oil injected rotary compressors. More articles from Batoyle Freedom Group: |
