The three functions of compressor fluid are:
• to lubricate the bearings and rotors
• to remove heat from the air as it is
being compressed thus lowering the
compressed air discharge temperature
• to seal the rotor clearances
Fluid Specifications
We recommend that all Quincy rotary
screw compressors be filled with one of the
following synthetic fluids:
QuinSyn Pg -
Standard fill.
QuinSyn XP
-
Standard fill for high
pressure applications.
QuinSyn Plus -
Extended life fluid.
QuinSyn F

A fluid tag is attached to each Quincy
rotary screw compressor indicating the
type of fluid provided in the initial fill. All
of the above fluids are available from any
authorized Quincy distributor.

Do not mix different grades or types
of fluid. Do not use inferior grades of
fluids.
