5.3 COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
Change oil at least once a year, even if the normal oil change period in hours has not yet been reached.
CAUTION! Never mix synthetic lubricants with hydrocarbon lubricants. Never mix synthetic lubricants
manufactured from different base products. Severe damage to the compressor system may result.
Contamination of non-detergent mineral oils with traces of aTF, or detergent motor oils, may lead to
problems such as foaming and plugging of filters, orifices, and lines. lubricant manufacturers include a
variety of additives in the blending process to enhance lubrication, product life and performance. Mixing
different types or brands of lubricants is not recommended due to the possibility of a dilution of the
additives or a reaction between additives of different types.
Environmental conditions in the area of compressor operation such as the presence of reactive gases or
vapors in the air may lead to chemical changes and premature degradation of the lubricant. The useful life of
synthetic lubricants may extend the normally recommended drain and replace period; however, the user is
encouraged to closely monitor the lubricant condition and to participate in an oil analysis program with the
fluid supplier. When ambient conditions exceed those noted, or if conditions warrant use of “extended life”
lubricants, contact Sullivan-Palatek for a recommendation.
5.3.1 CHECK
The oil level should be checked daily.
1.
Shut down the compressor (or check before the compressor is turned on).
2.
Wait two minutes after the compressor stops to allow the pressure to be relieved and the oil to settle.
3. observe the oil level in the fluid sight glass. The fluid sight glass should be ½ to ⅔ full.
4. While the compressor is running, the oil should be visible in the sight glass.
