Compressor Oils

Compressor oils: Maximum performance and long life with Avtoil

In industrial applications, compressors play a critical role in meeting the energy needs of enterprises and ensuring uninterrupted management of production processes. Proper lubrication and regular maintenance are essential for these high-tech machines to operate efficiently and with a long service life. Compressor oils prevent both mechanical and chemical wear, increase system efficiency, and help optimize energy costs.
Avtoil compressor oils are formulated in accordance with industrial standards and provide reliable operation in various industrial sectors such as textile, plastic, paper, and automotive manufacturing. Proper lubrication ensures that compressors consume less electricity and operate continuously for longer periods of time.

Main Functions of Compressor Oils
The role of compressor oils in industrial equipment is not limited to reducing friction. The main functions of Avtoil compressor oils include:
• Prevents friction under high pressure and temperature – This helps maintain a stable lubrication film between pistons and cylinders.
• Ensures effective heat dissipation – The operating temperature of the compressor remains stable and the lifespan of system components is extended.
• Prevents corrosion and deposit formation – Avtoil protects equipment with special antioxidant and anti-corrosion additives.
• Reduces energy consumption – With proper lubrication, compressors consume less electricity, thus optimizing energy costs.
Compressed air systems constitute a large portion of total energy costs in industrial facilities. With Avtoil compressor oils, energy efficiency is improved and the performance of systems is maximized.

Compressor Types and Oils Used
Oil selection for compressors varies depending on the compressor type, operating environment, and the type of compressed gas. Avtoil has a suitable product line for every compressor type:

Mineral-Based Compressor Oils
• Ideal for small and mid-sized compressors.
• Widely used in home and small production-type compressors.
• Service intervals are relatively short but economically advantageous.
 

Synthetic-Based Compressor Oils
• Preferred in industrial applications operating under high pressure and temperature.
• Long-lasting and used in sectors requiring high performance (textile, paper, plastic).
• For example, 20W50 compressor oils are resistant to high temperature and pressure in both piston and air compressors.
• Avtoil synthetic oils are equipped with special anti-rust and anti-oxidation additives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Compressor Oils

What oil should a compressor use?
• Mineral or synthetic-based special compressor oils are used. The choice depends on the compressor type and working conditions.

How is a compressor lubricated?
• A certain amount of oil is added to the oil reservoir according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential.

What happens if compressor oil runs out?
• Operating without oil causes overheating, friction, and equipment failures, resulting in high repair costs.
