Castrol Aircol PD 46

Product description

Castrol Aircol PD oils are a series of compressor oils designed for the lubrication of both reciprocating and rotary compressors, produced using high quality refined base oils and superior additive technology. Aircol PD compressor oils have excellent oxidation resistance and a low soot forming tendency, exceeding the requirements of the DIN 51506 VD-L lubricant 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 viscosity range, thus ensuring compatibility with different types of compressors operating at varying ambient temperatures. The selection of the required viscosity grade should be followed in accordance with the compressor manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate ambient temperature range (this range should be maintained by maintaining an oil film between the working surfaces.

It will be chosen to establish the healthiest balance between minimizing the amount of power absorbed due to the friction of the fluid inside). However, as a generalization, Aircol PD 32 and Aircol PD 46 are suitable for rotary compressors operating in oil baths at normal ambient temperatures, while Aircol PD 68 and Aircol PD 100 are suitable for the sump 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 driving effect between the screws is given by the rotors themselves. Thanks to their excellent water separation characteristics, Castrol Aircol PD oils provide easy separation of the water caused by the condensation formed in the compressor from the oil without emulsion.

and minimizes the risk of premature blocking of oil separator elements. Aircol PD series also provides complete protection against corrosion and prevents corrosion in 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 aggravates the task of the lubricant.
