BP Energol RC-R 68

BP ENERGOL RC-R 68, Rotary Air Compressor Oil.

High Performance Reciprocating, Rotary and Screw Air-Compressor oils

Description  
Energol RC-R compressor oils are formulated from highly refined mineral base oils and incorporate additives that minimize oxidation, deposit-formation, enhance loading-carrying, and anti-wear properties, combat the effects of water-contamination and prevent corrosion. The formulation gives a balanced combination of anti-foam, air-release and filter blocking properties.
Energol RC-R compressor oils are used sucessfully throughout the world in stationary and
mobile equipment.

Main Benefits
Exceed the requirements of ISO-L-DAG/DAH and DIN 51352
• High resistance to oxidation, hence low deposit-forming tendencies.
• Zinc-free formulation, to minimize oil-filter blockage in the presence of water.
• Excellent anti-wear performance in arduous conditions of heat and moisture, giving long service life for compressors.
• Rapid separation of oil/air in the air-coalescer, long air-filter life and low oil-carryover.
• Powerful water-separation and anti-corrosion characteristics, to counter adverse effects of moisture contamination.

Applications and Approvals
Energol RC-R grades are ashless oils recommended for the lubrication of rotors, bearings
and gears in rotary compressors, especially the oil-flooded screw type with delivery temperatures up to 120°C.
Energol RC-R compressor oils are also be used in reciprocating equipment where the air
discharge temperature is below 120 °C.
The performance of the Energol RC-R oils exceeds the requirements of the draft ISO specification for oil-flooded rotary air-compressors, categories ISO-L-DAG and DAH.
These oils are approved by Atlas Copco, Compair Industrial and Consolidated Pneumatic (CPT).

Storage  
Proper standards of storage and handling are necessary with all lubricants. Packages should be treated with care at all stages, to prevent contamination of their contents and damage to containers. Where outdoor storage of packages is unavoidable, they should preferably be covered. Storage temperatures should not fall below 5°C above the grade's Pour Point, nor exceed 50°C. Any water that is allowed to accumulate on top of a drum can cover the bung and eventually cause the drum markings to obliterate and become illegible. Drums should therefore stand tilted or rest horizontally.
