Synthetic Lubricant

Synthetic lubricant provides better lubrication, increased efficiency, extended durability, and improved contamination control. They can maintain their viscosity over a wide range of temperatures, ensuring optimal compressor efficiency throughout a wide range of operating conditions. They are less prone to break down under high temperatures, pressures, and high-speed operation, which are common operating conditions in centrifugal air compressors.

Benefits of Synthetic Lubricants

ENERGY SAVINGS

  • Gearboxes run cooler
  • Lower friction factor requires less energy
  • Expected 3-5% energy savings attainable with conversations from petroleum-based lubricants to Cenlube

EXTENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS

  • Petroleum oils degrade rapidly at high temperatures and normally need to change every year.
  • Centrifugal compressors using Cenlube synthetic lubricant may run as long as 4 to 5 years with proper sampling after the first 12 months which is 5x petroleum.

INCREASED CAPACITY TO HOLD HEAT

  • Cenlube exhibits a higher capacity to hold heat and runs at a lower temperature than petroleum.
  • Cenlube can remove the same amount of heat as the petroleum fluid without increasing as much in temperature.

OTHER GREAT FEATURES OF CENLUBE

  • High Flash Point – Reduced Fire Hazard
  • Eliminates or Reduces Varnish on Critical Component Surfaces
  • Contains Anti-Wear Additives
  • High Viscosity Index
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range
  • Extended Warranty Available
