Why do air compressors need fluids?
• Lubricate bearings
• Removes heat: The fluid needs to remove the heat of compression. This heat is not caused by friction, but by the physics of the compressed air itself.
• Seal the Rotor: Since the rotors do not touch, the fluid creates the necessary air tight seal with its film.
Why do air compressor fluids have additives? The additives in compressor fluids
• Prevent corrosion
• Extend the life of the fluid
• Prevents or minimizes foam in the compressor’s sump tank
• Improves lubricity
The quality and level of technology in the additive package of a fluid dramatically affect its performance. The proprietary blends of Sullair’s air compressor fluid additive packages are carefully formulated to perform at the highest levels.
This Air Compressor Fluid Reference provides:
• Pros and cons of each common air compressor fluid base stock used in rotary screw air compressors
