What are the advantages of using synthetic compressor oils?
A. Synthetic compressor oils have the following advantages: • They provide long term lubrication. From our experience, we find that they provide at least 5 to 6 times the life of a mineral oil. • They offer energy savings. World over, it is found that synthetic oils save at least 2% energy in compressors. • There is less expenditure on spare parts. Also, life of the valves and other parts increase considerably. Back to Top Open Gear Lubricants Q. Why is Priming lubricant used in gear drives ? A. The purpose of the priming lubricant is to fill the surface asperities with the thick film and provide rather uniform contact surface when the gears are initially rotated. It gives an indication of contact depth, gear misalignment like contact pattern variation over the gear circumference etc. It also protects against corrosion as the virgin surface has the tendency to react with the atmosphere readily. Q. How to determine the quantity of priming lubricant required ? A. Priming lubricant consum
