Vane and Screw Compressor Oil (VC)
Podlee vane and screw compressor oil is a high-performance lubricant specifically formulated for rotary screw air compressors. It ensures efficient operation, minimizes wear, and extends equipment life by providing superior thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and anti-foam properties under continuous high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.
Application
Rotary compressor oil is used in a wide range of rotary compressors, including rotary vane compressor and rotary screw compressors.
VC range oils are categorized into VC1 and VC2 series based on air compressor load conditions:
VC1 Series: Designed for light-to-medium duty or intermittent operation.
VC2 Series: Optimized for medium-to-heavy duty, continuous operation, or high-temperature environments.
Advantages
Superior lubricity and anti-rust/corrosion protection
Excellent thermal-oxidative stability
Effective demulsibility
High flash point and low volatility
