Air Filter:
Air filter designed to filtering out the unwanted solid impurities such as dirt and dust from air that is being drawn into the engine cylinder through the intake manifold.
Air compressor oil is a specialized lubricant designed to ensure the efficient operation and longevity of air compressors. These machines are commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, and construction, to power pneumatic tools and equipment. The right oil is crucial for optimal performance, providing lubrication, cooling, and protection against wear and corrosion.
- Base Oil: The base oil can be derived from mineral, synthetic, or semi-synthetic sources:
- Mineral Oil: This is derived from refining crude oil and is the most common type used in air compressor oils. It offers good lubrication properties and is cost-effective.
- Synthetic Oil: Engineered from chemical compounds, synthetic oils provide superior performance in extreme temperatures and conditions. They offer better stability, oxidation resistance, and lubricity than mineral oils.
- Semi-Synthetic Oil: This type is a blend of mineral and synthetic oils, combining the benefits of both. It often provides enhanced performance when compared to synthetic oils.
- Additives: Various additives are included in air compressor oil to improve its performance:
- Anti-Wear Additives
- Oxidation Inhibitors
- Corrosion Inhibitors
- Detergents and Dispersants
Types:
- Mineral Oil-Based Compressor Oils.
- Synthetic Compressor Oils.
- Non-Detergent Oils
- Detergent Oils.
