Manufacturer's description

Shell Corena S3 R 46 is a premium, top-quality oil intended for the lubrication of rotary vane and screw air compressors. It is an ISO VG 46 grade with a kinematic viscosity of 46 mm²/s at 40 °C and 6.9 mm²/s at 100 °C. It uses an advanced additive system to deliver excellent protection and performance for compressors operating with maintenance intervals of up to 4,000 hours (where approved by the manufacturer).

Applications

• Rotary vane air compressors and screw compressors
• Shell Corena S3 R is suitable for single- or two-stage oil-flooded or oil-injected vane air compressors, or for screw compressors.

Performance & benefits

• Shell Corena S3 R is capable of delivering drain periods of up to 4,000 hours (where manufacturers permit this), even when the compressor operates at air discharge temperatures up to 100 0 C. It is formulated to help: resist the formation of carbon deposits in the vane slots of rotary vane compressors.
• Resists the formation of deposits on the rotating components of screw compressors.
• Resists thermal breakdown and deposit formation, to maintain excellent cleanliness of internal surfaces, particularly of oil/air separators and coalescer systems.
• The precise oil maintenance interval will depend on the quality of the intake air, the duty cycle and the ambient conditions. For the hot, humid climates of the Asia-Pacific regions, a reduced oil drain period of under 4,000 hours is recommended (consult the OEM recommendations).
• Exceptional wear protectionWith many years of successful application, Shell Corena S3 R helps ensure effective protection of internal metal surfaces against corrosion and wear. It contains a well-designed anti-wear system to help extend the life of critical components such as bearings and gears.
• Maintaining system efficiencyAir release and foam prevention are critical performance characteristics of a compressor oil, ensuring the availability of compressed air at start-up and continuously thereafter. Shell Corena S3 R is designed to ensure rapid air release without excessive foaming, delivering trouble-free operation even under cyclic duty. Shell Corena S3 R has excellent water separation properties, to help ensure the compressor continues to operate efficiently even in the presence of water.
• Long service life – reduced maintenance: Shell Corena S3 R is capable of delivering drain periods of up to 4,000 hours (where manufacturers permit this), even when the compressor operates at air discharge temperatures up to 100 0 C. It is formulated to help
