According to the compressor structure and lubrication method, they are divided into three major categories, with significant differences in application scenarios and characteristics:
-
Rotary Screw Air Compressor Oil
Application: Rotary screw air compressors (mainly oil-injected type, mainstream in the market)
Core characteristics: Strong anti-wear performance, excellent oxidation stability, good foam inhibition. Can form a stable oil film under the high-pressure environment of screw meshing, and is easy to separate after mixing with compressed air, reducing the formation of carbon deposits and sludge.
Subcategories:
- Mineral type (medium-low load, short service interval)
- Semi-synthetic type (medium load, general working conditions)
- Fully synthetic type (high load, high temperature, long service interval)
-
Piston Air Compressor Oil
Application: Piston / reciprocating air compressors
Core characteristics: Focus on extreme pressure anti-wear and viscosity-temperature performance. Adapts to the reciprocating friction and intermittent high-pressure impact of pistons, cylinders and piston rings. Must withstand local high temperatures inside the cylinder to prevent cylinder scuffing and bearing seizure.
Common grades: Viscosity grades such as ISO 100, 150, suitable for different discharge pressures and rotating speeds.
-
Vane Air Compressor Oil
Application: Vane-type air compressors
Core characteristics: Low foaming, high cleanliness. Adapts to the sliding friction between vanes and the pump body, preventing vane sticking. Also requires good sealing performance to reduce compressed air leakage.
