BASINOL compressor oils are specially developed for the high demands of compressors and compressors. They ensure optimum lubrication, prevent deposits and ensure efficient heat dissipation to maximize the service life of the machines.

FAQ

What properties must a high-quality compressor oil have?

What properties must a high-quality compressor oil have? A high-quality compressor oil must meet several requirements to ensure optimum compressor performance. These include high thermal and oxidative stability to prevent deposits and oil sludge. It should also have excellent lubricity to minimize friction and wear on moving parts. A good compressor oil also offers low foaming, high water separability and a low evaporation rate to ensure long drain intervals and consistent performance. They minimize friction, reduce wear and ensure efficient heat dissipation. Without the right oil, this can lead to deposits, increased energy consumption and premature machine failure.

Synthetic compressor oils offer several advantages over mineral variants. They are more resistant to high temperatures, have a longer service life and offer better lubrication under extreme operating conditions. They also reduce deposits, which leads to improved energy efficiency and lower maintenance costs. BASINOL offers both mineral and synthetic compressor oils to meet the different requirements of various applications. Our high-quality formulations are designed for long service life, high oxidation resistance and maximum operational reliability.

Compressor oil change intervals depend on several factors, including operating hours, ambient temperature, compressor type and system load. In heavy-duty environments or at high operating temperatures, more frequent oil changes may be required, while longer change intervals are possible under optimal conditions. Regular oil sampling and analysis will help to determine the ideal time for a change and maximize the efficiency and service life of the compressor. As a rule, the compressor oil should be changed every 2,000 to 8,000 operating hours. Regular oil samples and maintenance help to maintain optimum compressor performance and avoid unplanned breakdowns.
