Product Description

The Rarus SHC™1020 Car Series is a line of superior performance oils aimed primarily at air compressor lubrication rotary screw very heavy duty and propeller air compressor (vane). This series is particularly suited to very heavy duty where mineral oil-based products do not meet expectations, such as very heavy applications exposed to high final compression temperatures, or which require long oil change intervals. The series is formulated with specially designed wax-free hydrocarbon fluids and high-tech additive systems that guarantee exceptional resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation that is far superior to mineral oil-based compressor oils. This oil provides preferential equipment protection and reliability for compressors operating in conditions where mineral oil-based products do not meet expectations. The Rarus 1020 Car Series provides excellent wear protection and preferential resistance to thermal degradation,far superior to mineral oil. Its unique formulation is able to reduce maintenance costs by minimizing problems with equipment as well as deposits and depreciation (carryover). Its high viscosity index guarantees effective lubrication at high temperatures.

Rarus 1020 Car Series lubricants significantly reduce the potential for fire and explosion compared to mineral oil-based products. The lubricant showed practically no precipitate formation and ignition temperature autogenous high thereby improving both performance and security. The exceptional water separation characteristics reduce the clumping problems resulting from the formation of emulsions and filters, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Features and Benefits

The use of Rarus 1020 Car Series oil can result in cleaner compressors and less precipitate compared to conventional mineral oil, leading to a longer operating period between maintenance intervals. Excellent oxidation and thermal stability allows a safe long service life while controlling the formation of oil sludge and deposits. This series of lubricants has excellent anti-wear and corrosion protection which can improve the service life and performance of equipment.

Applications

Car Series Rarus 1020 oil is mainly intended for rotary screw compressors and propeller compressors (vanes). The oil is especially effective for continuous operation at high temperatures with discharge temperatures up to 200ºC. Car Series Rarus 1020 oil is recommended for units with a history of excessive oil degradation, poor valve performance, or deposit formation. This series is compatible with all types of metals used in compressor construction with mineral oil-based lubricants, but mixing will reduce its performance capabilities.

Car Series Rarus 1020 oil is not recommended for air compressors used in breathing air applications and should not be used in compressors where the discharge temperature is higher than the flash point of the product.

The following types of compressor applications have demonstrated excellent performance with Rarus 1020 Car Series oils:
