Sludge formation is very low even after 500 hours and it is widely believed that this correlates with good performance in oil-air separators. Air Separator Performance Air separator performance can be partly related to the cleanliness of the intake air, it can also be seriously affected by the quality of the lubricants. Synthetic compressor fluids based on PAO can be formulated to give excellent performance in air oil separators. This is a very important aspect of performance and not only costs money in terms of servicing and replacement filters but also contributes to downtime and production costs. HPCL has measured the rate of filtration for compressor oils before and after an ageing test (at 120ºC for 1 week) and compared the performance with oils of known field service history. Filtration is carried out using 1.2 µ filter and the time (in mins) is recorded for 300 ml oil to be filtered.

Thermal Stability One of the tests used for evaluating thermal stability of lubricants is a hot oil oxidation test, and this is commonly used for both automotive and industrial oils. It consists of passing air through the oil at 165ºC in the presence of a soluble iron catalyst. Acidity of the oil is measured regularly to monitor the condition of the oil. Under these very severe conditions of temperature all four fluids are stable and show excellent resistance to oxidation. Esters and mineral oils show a tendency to early breakdown, forming acids which can be corrosive and detrimental to the compressor and the downstream airline system. Low Carbon Forming Tendencies For synthetic compressor oils to have the widest market acceptance they must be capable of giving superior performance in all types of compressors. This must include reciprocating compressors where the carbon forming tendencies of the lubricant are of the greatest importance. Under conditions of very high temperatures some lubricants can form carbon deposits of residues. Not only do these deposits limit the operation of the valves inside the air compressor and require regular servicing, but on prolonged exposure to severe conditions of temperature and pressure these deposits can start to flow red hot, causing fires and explosions within the compressed air system. The DIN 51506 specification was designed to assess this aspect of performance using the PNEUROP oxidation test (DIN 51352) which evaluates the carbon forming tendency of an oil after a period of oxidation using an iron oxide catalyst. In addition to the PNEUROP oxidation test, for the highest performance oils a distillation is performed and the carbon forming tendency of the 20 % residue is assessed. This ensures that as the oil evaporates from any hot spots a dangerous residue is not left behind. Page 12 of 15

Even the residue left behind after evaporating off most of the lubricant shows little or no tendency to form carbon. Page 13 of 15
