Castrol Aircol PD 32

All refrigeration compressors are also suitable for use in air compressors.

Castrol Aircol PD oils are a series of compressor oils designed for use in the lubrication of both piston and rotary compressors, produced using high quality refined base oils and superior additive technology. Aircol PD compressor oils have excellent oxidation resistance and low soot-forming tendency and exceed the requirements of the DIN 51506 VD-L lubricants classification for compressors with air outlet temperatures of up to 220 ° C.

Places of Use

Castrol Aircol PD compressor oils are offered in a wide range of viscosity, thus ensuring compatibility with different types of compressors operating at varying ambient temperatures. In selecting the required viscosity grade, the recommendations of the compressor manufacturer for the appropriate ambient temperature range should be followed (this interval, by protecting an oil film between the working surfaces, this oil film

will be chosen to establish the best balance between minimizing the amount of absorbed power due to the friction of the fluid in it). However, to make a generalization, while Aircol PD 32 and Aircol PD 46 are suitable for rotari compressors operating in oil bath, it will be appropriate to select Aircol PD 68 and Aircol PD 100 for crankcase and cylinders of reciprocating compressors. Aircol PD 150 is recommended for vane compressors or reciprocating compressors operating at high ambient temperatures.

According to the results of the measurements made with the FZG Gear Test, Castrol Aircol PD compressor oils have also been shown to have an adequate anti-wear performance. In this way, they can also be used in some screw compressors where the drive effect between the screws is given by the rotors themselves. Castrol Aircol PD oils provide easy separation of water resulting from condensation formed in the compressor without emulsion thanks to its excellent water separation characteristics.

and minimizes the risk of premature blockage of the oil separator elements. Aircol PD series also provides complete protection against corrosion and prevents corrosion inside the compressor when working in humid conditions. The contemporary trend in air compressor design is to achieve higher capacities from smaller devices at higher load and temperature values, which further aggravate the task of the lubricant.
