COMPROTM XL-SCOMPRESSOR FLUID
IntroductionPetro-Canada’s COMPROTM XL-S CompressorFluids are premium quality lubricantsspecifically designed to provide effectivelubrication in rotary screw air compressors.
Compro XL-S fluids are formulated to includePetro-Canada's own pure hydrotreated baseoils from the patented HT purity process,and / or Petro-Canada's own highly refinedand severely processed hydroisomerized andcatalytically dewaxed base oils for lubricantperformance. Utilizing more than 25 years offormulating experience, Petro-Canada fortifiesthese thermally stable fluids with a speciallyselected additive combination to ensure highperformance synergy in the finished lubricant.
With excellent oxidation stability, corrosion,deposit control and low volatility, COMPRO XL-S provides up to 8,000 hours of continuousworry-free service for lubrication, sealing andeffective heat removal for efficientcompressor performance.
Features and Benefits• Excellent resistance to oxidativebreakdown caused by exposure to air athigh discharge temperatures
• Reduces oil thickening, maintaininggood fluidity through pumps, lines,filters and actuators.
• Controls build-up of acidic by-productsthat can accelerate oil deterioration andpromote corrosion
• Controls build-up of sludge and varnishto ensure smooth operation throughfine tolerances
New and Improved COMPRO XL-S provides strongerresistance to oxidative breakdown than the competitiveproducts tested.
New and Improved COMPRO XL-S provides excellentresistance to oxidative breakdown caused by exposure toair at high temperatures.
• Reduces valve sticking and maintains heattransfer efficiency of intercoolers
New and Improved COMPRO XL-S shows strong resistance to oilthickening, which can improve compressor efficiency and lowerenergy consumption.
Tests show COMPRO XL-S can control build-up of acidic by-productsdue to oil oxidation.
• Improved viscosity index and good lowtemperature properties
• Improves film thickness at elevatedtemperatures
• Better cold temperature fluidity for lowtemperature start-up.
• Good protection against wear
• Prolongs the service life of working componentssuch as rotor bearings, vane tips, piston ringsand liners
• Protects against rust and corrosion
• Helps to extend component life, especially whenrunning intermittent service in high humidityconditions
• Good water separation for water removal and tominimize emulsions
• Low volatility reduces oil carry-over into the airsystem
• May reduce fluid consumption for reservoir top-up
• Reduces fluid consumption
ApplicationsWhile COMPRO XL-S Compressor Fluid may be used tolubricate and cool all types of rotary vane,reciprocating, centrifugal and lobe air compressors, itis specifically designed to significantly extend servicelife in rotary screw compressors. It is available in fiveISO viscosity grades: 32, 46, 68, 100 and 150 tocover most compressor applications.
COMPRO XL-S is suitable for use in compressors thathandle air, and inert gases such as nitrogen, argon,hydrogen, neon, helium, carbon dioxide, carbonmonoxide and blast furnace gas.
COMPRO XL-S is suitable for use in all makes ofcompressors, including:
COMPRO XL-S is compatible with standard seal andhose materials used in most compressors.
COMPRO XL-S Compressor Fluid is also suitable foruse in industrial vacuum pumps operating with avacuum of >0.005 mBar.
NOTE: COMPRO XL-S should not be used in systemscompressing wet or sour hydrocarbon gases. Forthese applications, Petro-Canada’s Compressor OilRP, SPX Fluid or NGS Fluid is recommended.
NOTE: COMPRO XL-S must not be used in thecompression of oxygen, or other chemically activegases such as chlorine or hydrogen chloride.
NOTE: DO NOT USE in breathing air apparatus ormedical equipment.
Operational ConsiderationsThe full benefits of a change to COMPRO XL-SCompressor Fluid will only be realized by minimizingcontamination with the previously used oil. Certainmakes of compressors do not permit completedraining, so if the drained oil is heavily oxidized (shownby significant increase in the oil’s total acid numberand viscosity), recharging with COMPRO XL-S may notresult in optimum performance and fluid service life.
While COMPRO XL-S is fully compatible with mostmineral and synthetic compressor fluids, it should notbe mixed or contaminated with fluids containingpolyalkylene glycols or silicones.
For complete instructions on cleaning varnishedcompressors, or flushing and recharging yourcompressor with COMPRO XL-S Compressor Fluid,consult with a Petro-Canada Technical Services Advisor.
