AMSOIL SIROCCO™ SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oil
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Synthetic Compressor Oil
is a high quality, long life fluid formulated with premium synthetic
ester technology. SIROCCO™ effectively prevents wear, oxidation,
foam and rust, while its inherent lubricity and thermal conductivity
reduce heat and energy consumption, increasing operating efficiency
and reducing maintenance costs.
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Synthetic Compressor Oil
is recommended for use in single- and multi-stage rotary screw
compressors and vacuum pumps that call for this viscosity.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants
are formulated with premium synthetic ester technology. These
high quality, long life fluids last several times longer in use
than mineral-based oils. AMSOIL SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor
Oils/Coolants are fully formulated with non-detergent additives
and are designed for use in rotary screw, vane and reciprocating
compressors. SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants
increase operating efficiency, reducing money spent on energy,
repair and maintenance costs.
AMSOIL SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants
maintain performance across a wide operating temperature range.
The low pour points, high viscosity indices and lack of paraffins
(wax) make these excellent all season lubricants. At high temperatures,
SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants form virtually
no carbon, allowing for clean operation. At cold temperatures,
equipment starts easier and the lubricant is quickly pumped to
critical components, preventing lubricant starvation and excessive
wear. SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants also
resist water to prevent damaging oil/water emulsions, allowing
for longer lubricant life and ease of water removal from the sump.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
Resists foaming
Rust and oxidation inhibited
Readily separates from water
Recommended for use in rotary screw and reciprocating
compressors
Long-life/extended drain performance
Compatible with polyglycol fluids such as Sullube
32® and Ingersoll-Rand SSR Ultra-coolant®
SEI is biodegradable under the CEC-L33-A94 standard
SAFETY ADVANTAGE
AMSOIL SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants
have higher flash, fire and auto ignition points than competitive
petroleum oils. Their resistance to carbon formation and the ashless
additive system minimize the incidence of deposits acting as ignition-promoting
hot spots. Although AMSOIL SE Series increase fire safety, they
cannot be considered non-flammable.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL SEI is a multi-viscosity oil meeting the
requirements of 5w-20. It may be used in applications calling
for either an ISO-32 or ISO-46 compressor oil or coolant. It is
recommended for use in single and multi-stage rotary screw compressors
and vacuum pumps that call for this viscosity.
When installing AMSOIL SEI, it is recommended
that the old oil be thoroughly drained and if warranted, the system
cleaned. If a lot of carbon or residue is found on the internal
compressor parts, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for
removal prior to installing the new oil. AMSOIL SE Series Synthetic
Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants have a high level of solvency and
may remove deposits left in the system. Check the filters and
oil/air separators regularly for the first 500 hours of operation
and replace as necessary.
AMSOIL SEI is compatible with and recommended
as a replacement for much higher priced polyalkylene glycol (PAG)
compressor oils or coolants such as Sullube 32® and Ingersoll
Rand SSR Ultra Coolant®. No flushing is necessary when changing
over from Glycol Coolants to AMSOIL SEI. However, draining the
system and changing the filters is recommended.
AMSOIL SEI is recommended for use up to 8,000+
hours for most compressor applications. However, this is subject
to operating conditions and maintenance practices.* Monitoring
by oil analysis every 1,000 hours is recommended.
* Where discharge temperature exceeds 205°F,
lubricant life expectancy is reduced.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL SEI is compatible with petroleum oils,
most synthetic oils*, and many seals, paints and materials commonly
used in compressors. Materials recommended and not recommended
for use with SEI oils/coolants are listed below.
*AMSOIL SE Series is NOT RECOMMENDED as a
replacement or for use with the silicone based compressor oil
Sullube 24KT®. AMSOIL SE Series is NOT RECOMMENDED for use in
"Breathing Air or Refrigeration" compressors.
RECOMMENDED
Seals - Viton®, High Nitrile Buna N (>36%),
Teflon®
Paints - Epoxy, Oil-Resistant Alkyd, Two-Part Urethane
Plastics - Nylon, Delrin®, Celcon®, PBT
AMSOIL SE Series is available in 5-gallon pails,
55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes, and bulk quantities. For 275-gallon
totes, please allow two to four weeks for delivery.
