Compressor oils

Compressor oils are lubricants designed for cooling, lubricating, and protecting compressors from wear.

They are used in various types of compressors, such as air, screw, piston, or centrifugal compressors, which are commonly found in industrial equipment, manufacturing processes, and other technological systems. The choice of oil depends on the type of compressor, working conditions (temperature, pressure), and manufacturer’s specifications.

Main functions of compressor oil:

• Cooling: Compressors can heat up under heavy loads, and the oil helps to prevent overheating.
• Lubrication: The oil ensures that moving parts are well lubricated, reducing friction and wear.
• Protection against corrosion: Oils protect internal parts from corrosion caused by moisture or other corrosive elements.
• Removal of dirt and impurities: The oil can help flush out particles that could cause damage.
