Manufacturer's description

Oil for reciprocating air compressors. Shell Corena S2 P is a top-quality oil intended for the lubrication of reciprocating air compressors. It is suitable for lubricating all types of reciprocating air compressor with air discharge temperatures up to 220 °C. This grade is ISO VG 68: kinematic viscosity 68 mm²/s at 40 °C and 7.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, flash point 235 °C, pour point -33 °C.

Applications

• Reciprocating air compressorsShell Corena S2 P is suitable for lubricating all types of reciprocating compressor with air discharge temperatures up to 220 0 C.
• Breathing-air compressorsShell Corena S2 P can be used to lubricate breathing-apparatus air compressors, provided the equipment used is clean, to ensure that the air produced is suitable for breathing.

Performance & benefits

• Long service life – reduced maintenanceShell Corena S2 P allows the maintenance interval between valve and piston servicing to be extended in certain applications. Compressors can be kept running for much longer periods at a high level of efficiency. This extended maintenance capability is supported by resistance to the formation of carbon and varnish deposits on valves and piston crowns at high operating temperatures and pressures.
• Outstanding wear protectionShell Corena S2 P helps ensure effective protection of internal metal surfaces against corrosion and wear, extending the life of critical components such as bearings and pistons.
• Maintaining system efficiencyShell Corena S2 P has high resistance to the formation of carbon and varnish deposits on valves and piston crowns caused by operation at high temperatures and pressures. These can cause serious problems, such as reduced compressor operating efficiency and increased maintenance costs. In addition, Shell Corena S2 P has good water separation capability to prevent accelerated corrosion, facilitating condensate draining.
• Operational safetyThe combination of rust particles, carbon deposits and high operating temperatures in air discharge lines can cause an exothermic reaction that can lead to compressor ignition and explosion. The use of Shell Corena S2 P oil helps prevent this hazard.
