Reciprocating Compressor Oil (RC)

Podlee reciprocating compressor oil is a specialized lubricant formulated for reciprocating (piston-type) compressors, which are widely used in industrial, automotive, and gas processing applications. These oils are designed to withstand the extreme pressures, high temperatures, and repetitive motion inherent in reciprocating compressors, ensuring reliable performance, reduced wear, and extended equipment life.

RC range oils are categorized intoRC1 and RC2 series based on air compressor load conditions:

RC1 Series: Designed for light-to-medium duty or intermittent operation.

RC2 Series: Optimized for medium-to-heavy duty, continuous operation, or high-temperature environments.

Application

Industrial reciprocating air compressors (single or multi-stage)

Natural gas compressors (including high-pressure systems).

Refrigeration compressors (ammonia or hydrocarbon-based systems).

Automotive air compressors.

Advantages

Excellent Thermal-Oxidative Stability: Resists thermal breakdown and oxidation at high operating temperatures, preventing the formation of sludge, varnish, and carbon deposits.

Superior Anti-Rust and Anti-Corrosion Properties: Protects critical components such as cylinders and exhaust valves from rust and corrosion caused by moisture and acidic by-products.
