Description

Aircol PG 185 is a high performance synthetic gas compressor oil based on poly-alkylene glycol, for the lubrication ofcompressors handling hydrocarbon and chemical gases. The lubricant contains oxidation and corrosion inhibitors,providing excellent thermal and oxidation stability, together with the necessary corrosion protection for the compressor.

Application

Aircol PG 185 has good lubricity characteristics and a very high viscosity index which benefits high temperature operations. It is for use in the working sumps of both rotary and reciprocating compressors where the lubricant is in continuous contact with the gas being compressed. If mineral oils were used in these applications, the gas would dissolve and cause a drastic reduction in oil viscosity, which could in turn lead to compressor failure. Hydrocarbon gases dissolve to a much lesser extent in Aircol PG 185 ensuring longer working life and adequate lubrication performance.

Aircol PG 185 may be used with a wide range of gases, including:

• Liquified natural gases such as methane and ethane.
• Liquified petroleum gases such as propane and butane.
• Hydrocarbon chemical gases such as ethylene, propylene and butylene.
• Chemical gases such as ammonia, vinyl chloride and butadiene.
