Description
BP Energol™ RC-R 4000 compressor oil range of premium lubricants are formulated from highly refined mineral oils and novel additive technology to give outstanding antiwear and antirust performance to meet the requirements of Atlas Copco and similar types of compressor design.
Application
Energol RC-R 4000 incorporates a carefully balanced antioxidant system providing improved oxidative and thermal stability giving “extended” service life for both oil flooded and oil injected rotary screw compressors.
Lubricant drain cycles are upto 4000 hours under normal use as defined by ISO 6743-3:2003, with maximum air discharge temperature =/< 100°C.
RC-R 4000 can also be used under severe conditions, with maximum air discharge temperature > 100°C, however, the manufacturers standard oil change periods should be used.
The Energol RC-R 4000 range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluropolymer seal materials.
Energol RC-R 4000 is classified as follows:
ISO 6743-3 DAG and DAH for rotary air compressors
Energol RC-R 4000 grades meet the requirements of:
Atlas Copco for 4000 hour oil life.
Advantages
•Very low deposit forming tendencies extends oil change intervals and air filter life which contributes to a reduction in maintenance costs.
• Good air/oil separation properties at the separator element reduce the risk of oil carry over.
• Good antiwear protection reduces rotor wear.
Excellent water separation characteristics allow condensation to readily separate from the oil, minimising the risk of emulsions which could block the oil separator element.
•Excellent oxidation and thermal stability minimises oil thickening and extends the oil separator life and reduces fouling of coolers & pipes.
• Prevents corrosion when operating under humid conditions.
