17.3 Compressor Lubricant
•
The LP compressor in your Nitrox system comes standard with Nuvair 546 synthetic food
grade compressor lubricant for rotary screw compressors. Customers may specify different
lubricants, check lubricant page at the back of manual for accepted lubricants.
•
The HP compressor comes with the Nuvair 455 synthetic food grade lubricant. Customers
may specify different lubricants, check lubricant page at the back of manual for accepted
lubricants.
•
Check lubricant levels at each sight gauge and add lubricant as required through the
appropriate lubricant fill plug.
•
Lubricant is removed through the drain plugs. See LP and HP compressor manuals for
details on servicing lubricant
Never mix different lubricants together because equipment damage may occur when
machinery is operated with improper lubricant.
Do not carry out any maintenance tasks if the compressor has just shut down.
Wait for the compressor to cool to avoid skin burns.
Pressure must be properly drained from the system before opening the LP fill
plug. Failure to drain pressure may result in severe personal injury.
Any oil spilled during the oil and oil filter change could cause personnel to slip
and fall. Wear anti-slip footwear. Remove any traces of spilled oil immediately.
Slips and falls may cause severe personal injury or death.
Wear eye protection, gloves, and skin protection when performing
oil changes. Although the oil is not classified as a dangerous
substance, the oil can be irritating to your eyes and skin.
Both oil and oil filter are classified as “special wastes” and must be disposed
of properly according to applicable national and local laws. Failure to dispose
of these wastes properly can lead to death of wildlife as well as government
fines and penalties.
