PAO Based Synthetic Compressor Oil (PC3)
Podlee PC3 range oil is a high-performance synthetic lubricant specifically engineered for demanding compressor applications. Its formulation leverages the superior properties of PAO synthetic base oils combined with ad vanced additive technology, offering exceptional thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and longevity in harsh operating conditions.
Application
Rotary screw compressors: High-speed industrial systems requiring thermal stability.
Reciprocating compressors: Heavy-duty applications with high discharge temperatures.
Refrigeration compressors: Low-temperature operations demanding consistent viscosity.
Oxygen and gas compressors: Non-reactive properties ensure safety in specialized systems.
Advantages
Extended Drain Intervals: 2–3x longer service life compared to mineral oils, even at temperatures exceeding 100°C.
Energy Efficiency: Low traction coefficients reduce friction losses, improving compressor efficiency by 3–8%.
Clean Operation: Minimal carbon deposits or sludge formation, protecting critical components (valves, rotors).
Broad Compatibility: Works with common elastomers (NBR, FKM) and coatings, minimizing leakage risks.
Environmental Resilience: Performs reliably in humid, high-temperature, or variable-load environments.
