It is highly recommended that the lubricating oil be analyzed frequently in order to identify its quality and
remaining operational life. A sampling valve, located on the tubing between the oil filter and the injection
manifold, is provided for this purpose.
Use of improper lubricants will cause damage to equipment. Do not mix
different types of lubricants or use inferior lubricants.
All materials used in Gardner Denver compressor units are compatible with
AEON 9000TH Synthetic Lubricating Coolant. Use caution when selecting
downstream components such as lubricating bowls, gaskets and valve trim.
AEON 9000TH Synthetic Lubricating Coolant is not compatible with Nitrile
(Buna N) or acrylic paints. AEON 9000TH is compatible with most air system
downstream components.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available for all AEON 9000TH lubricants from your authorized Gardner
Denver distributor or by calling 800-682-9868.
MOISTURE IN THE OIL SYSTEM -
The oil injection system provided with your compressor package has
been designed to avoid water vapor condensation during all modes of operation (e.g., load level, ambient
temperature or relative humidity and discharge pressure). It achieves this goal by maintaining a final
discharge temperature between 195
°
F and 220
°
F. Refer to Figure 5-4, page 53, for the dew point trends
of the compressed air at four typical pressure levels.
This feature does not eliminate the need to analyze the lubricating oil frequently. If an analysis reveals
the presence of water in the oil, it may indicate that the oil injection system is malfunctioning. Contact
your authorized Gardner Denver factory distributor for assistance.
