Three Big Pay-Offs in changing from mineral oil-based lubricants to Synthetic Compressor lubricants #1. Lower Your Electric Bill by increasing energy efficiency Compressor Synthetic Lubricants can actually reduce energy consumption in many applications, up to 9% as compared to conventional mineral oils. Here's how... - Compressor Synthetic Lubricants help minimize friction between moving parts. ( less friction = less amp draw ) - Energy can be lost due to "churn" as mechanical parts move through oil: Compressor Synthetics Lubricants have a lower viscosity when compared to mineral counterparts of the same ISO viscosity grade , resulting in lower churn energy loss than a mineral oil. #2. Get a Better Return on Your Investment by extending equipment life When you lower the energy consumption with compressor synthetic lubricants you decrease friction which means less wear. Less wear = longer life. Whether your equipment runs in extreme hot or in cold conditions, Compressor Synthetic Lubricants are more effective over a wider range of operating temperatures than mineral-based products. -In very hot conditions, Compressor Synthetics remain thicker for better protection. Compressor Synthetics do not degrade in high temperatures as fast as mineral-based oils either. -In lower temperatures, Compressor Synthetics offer excellent flow characteristics, unlike mineral-based oils that tend to get too thick to flow well when cold and can limit protection to critical parts. #3. Lower Maintenance Costs by using Less Labor & Materials Compressor Synthetic Lubricants usually last up to 8-10 times longer than mineral oil equivalents. This translates into... -Reduced oil purchases -Less used-oil to dispose -Fewer oil changes - fewer hours your maintenance team must spend on oil changes -Decreased downtime because of lubricant-related problems such as valve maintenance.
