Features & Benefits

Advantages

Pure Synthetic is blended from the highest quality hydro-finished polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base fluids available and a highly specialized additive package. This combination provides the following advantages:

  • Low volatility for lower makeup requirements and less oil carry over
  • High viscosity index
  • Exceptional anti-wear protection
  • Extended bearing and compressor life
  • Enhanced thermal & oxidation stability
  • Superior hydrolytic stability
  • Excellent demulsibility characteristics
  • Excellent rust and corrosion protection
  • Excellent anti-foaming and air release properties
  • Reduced sludge, varnish and deposit formation
  • Compatibility with all types of seals and coatings
  • Enhanced seal and fluid life
  • Excellent operating temperature reduction for better heat transfer
  • Compatibility with zinc based fluids
  • Improved compressor efficiency and reduced power consumption
  • Reduced system maintenance with reduced down time
  • Pure Synthetic Compressor Oil also contains Micron Moly®, a liquid soluble type of moly that plates itself to the sliding and rubbing parts of the compressor. This plating action reduces friction between the moving parts, thus eliminating damaging frictional wear and reduceing operating temperatures.
Product Highlights

Change-out Procedure When Switching From Polyalkylene Glycol And Polyalkylene Glycol/Polyol Ester Blends Compressor Fluids

This fluid procedure is designed for those compressors that are currently using a Polyalkylene Glycol or Polyalkylene Glycol/Polyol Ester blend such as Ingersoll Rand’s SSR Ultra Coolant or Sullair’s Sullube 32. This fluid procedure is designed for those compressors that are currently using a Polyalkylene Glycol or Polyalkylene Glycol/Polyol Ester blends are not compatible with petroleum or other type of synthetic base fluids, such as polyalphaolefin (PAO) and diester based compressor fluids. When petroleum based or synthetic based compressor fluids are mixed with a Polyalkylene Glycol or Polyalkylene Glycol/Polyol Ester blends the possibility of gelling of the products can occur.

Because of this possibility Schaeffer Mfg recommends that if a compressor application is being changed over from a Polyalkylene Glycol or Polyalkylene Glycol/Polyol Ester blend compressor fluid to #158 Pure Synthetic Compressor Fluid that the following procedure be strictly followed:

Procedure Steps

  • Drain the compressor as completely as possible. Disconnect the air and fluid lines as completely as possible. Remove all oil filters and air/oil separators. Wipe out the air/oil separator bowl with a clean rag to remove any fluid residue.
  • Reconnect the lines and replace all the oil filters and air/oil separators with new elements.
  • Charge the compressor with an either an inexpensive or the #158 Moly Pure Synthetic Compressor Fluid in the proper ISO Viscosity Grade. Run the compressor for 1-hour only.
  • Drain the compressor as completely as possible. Disconnect the air and fluid lines as completely as possible. Remove all oil filters and air/oil separators. Wipe out the air/oil separator bowl with a clean rag to remove any fluid residue.
  • Reconnect the lines and replace all the oil filters and air/oil separators with new elements.
  • Charge the compressor with an either an inexpensive or the #158 Pure Synthetic
  • Compressor Fluid in the proper ISO Viscosity Grade. Run the compressor for 1-hour only.
  • Repeat Step 3.
  • With the oil drain plug removed, begin filling the compressor slowly with #158 Pure Synthetic Compressor Fluid in the appropriate ISO Viscosity Grade. Allow the new fluid to push any remaining fluid out of the compressor. When new oil is seen, replace the drain plug and fill the compressor.
  • Start the compressor and top off the oil level.
