The maximum oil temperature depends on
the operating conditions of the compressor
and the oil type used.
A minimum actual oil viscosity of 10 cSt in
the bearings is always required.

PRECISE FIELD OF APPLICATION
The field of application diagrams as shown in this manual can vary slightly from
the actual field of application for each particular selection.
The actual field of application is dependent on the type of compressor, speed,
suction superheat and part-load steps. For example; longer periods of part-load
operation and/or higher suction superheat as often encountered in booster
compressors result in higher discharge temperatures, reducing the allowable
pressure difference in those scenarios.
