DC Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oil_EN
Improves Compressor Efficiency
AMSOIL DC Series Oil is designed to prevent hard carbon deposits on valves for greatly improved compressor efficiency. Valve maintenance intervals are extended and recompression is virtually eliminated. AMSOIL DC Series Oil helps reduce heat and improve compressor efficiency, saving money through lower electrical energy consumption.
Reduces Wear
Unlike other compressor oils, AMSOIL DC Series Oil is anti-wear fortified. It helps reduce wear in high contact regions for increased compressor life and efficiency.
Extends Oil Life
AMSOIL DC Series Oil combines the inherent oxidation resistance of synthetic esters with highly potent oxidation inhibitors. It lasts several times longer than petroleum oils, effectively reducing maintenance and waste-oil disposal costs.
Reduces Oil Consumption
The low volatility and highly polar nature of AMSOIL DC Series Oil reduces the amount of oil needed for cylinder lubrication compared to petroleum oils. Drip feed rates can be lowered, downstream oil is minimized and money is saved on make-up oil.
Resists Water Contamination
Water from condensation builds up in compressors and can cause oil/water emulsions, environmental discharge hazards and rust. AMSOIL DC Series Oil readily separates from water and it is anti-rust fortified. Water can be easily drained off for simplified environmental discharge and increased oil life.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL DC Series Oil features an ashless, high-flash-point formulation with low carbon-forming properties to minimize ignition-promoting “hot spots.” While AMSOIL DC Series Oil can provide improved fire safety, it cannot be considered non-flammable.
APPLICATIONS
Use the appropriate viscosity of AMSOIL DC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil in rotary vane and reciprocating compressors and vacuum pumps. Monitoring by oil analysis is recommended.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL DC Series Oil is compatible with petroleum and most other synthetic-based lubricants (not compatible with polyalkylene glycol or silicone oils). For best performance, AMSOIL recommends the compressor be thoroughly drained and cleaned, if needed, prior to the installation of DC Series Oil. If carbon deposits are present on the internal components, it is recommended they be removed following the manufacturer recommendations. For the first 500 hours of operation, check the filters regularly and clean or replace as necessary. AMSOIL DC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil can be used with the following paints, plastics and elastomers:
Paints: Epoxy, oil-resistant alkyd
Plastics: Acetal (Delrin®) (Celcon®), polyamide (nylon), polyetherimide (nylon), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), terephthalate
Elastomers: Fluoroelastomer (Viton®), nitrile (>36% Buna-N), polyacrylate (HyTemp®), TFE propylene (AFLAS®), fluorosilicone (Silastic®)
Not recommended for “breathing air,” refrigeration compressors or for use with chlorine, oxygen, hydrogen chloride, ammonia or sulfur hexafluoride gases.
