Castrol Aircol SR 46 Rotary compressor oil VDL 20L canister

Castrol Aircol SR 46 is a synthetic polyalphaolefin (PAO)-based premium compressor oil type VDL (ISO VG 46) designed for use in rotary screw compressors.

Aircol SR 46 air compressor oils are ISO 6743-3 classified as follows:

• DAG, DAH and DAJ for rotary air compressors

Application

• Suitable for use in oil flooded rotary screw compressors operating under extreme climatic conditions, harsh environments and severe operating conditions where very high air discharge temperatures (> 100°C) are experienced.
• Also suitable for use in compressor units operating at normal operating conditions, with the maximum air discharge temperature =/< 100°C, as defined by ISO 6743-3:2003.
• For normal operating conditions, these products can be used for extended drain intervals up to 8000 hours.
• Aircol SR range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone, polyurethane and fluropolymer seal materials typically used in compressor units. It is not compatible with butadiene styrene (SBR) or ethylene propylene (EPDM) seals.

Specifications / Approvals

• DIN 51506 (VDL)
• ISO 6743-3
• Atlas Copco 8000 hour oil drain interval
• Kaeser

Advantages

• Increased oil service life of typically up to 8000 hours in most systems, depending on the operating environment.
• Very low deposit forming tendency, extends service life of filters and separators.
• Outstanding oxidation stability and antiwear performance providing long lubricant and equipment life.
• Ester-free formulation eliminates the formation of corrosive acids leading to longer equipment life.
• Excellent water separation characteristics allow condensation to readily separate from the oil, minimizing the risk of emulsions which could block the oil separator element.
• PAO based lubricant means good compatibility with seals and mineral oil based lubricants, allowing changeover to Aircol SR without compatibility issues.
