Lubricating instructions for screw

compressors, Type HSC 177469

1. General

Moving parts require the correct lubricant. Good quality lubrication oils increase the service life of
the compressor.
Please note: only the lubrication oil manufacturer knows his products thoroughly. Therefore, it is
advisable to contact him when making your choice.

Ask only the lubricant manufacturer for his recommendation! He is the expert.

2. Lubrication Oil Quality

Above all, compressor oils must have good lubrication properties for which their viscosity is highly
important. HATLAPA recommends lubrication oils within the following range:
ambient temperature 0 .. +25 °C constantly over 25 °C

(engine room of sea going ships)

viscosity class ISO VG 68
. ISO VG 46
viscosity at 40°C 41 .. 51 mm2/s 61 .. 75 mm2/s
flash point > 200 °C > 200 °C
pourpoint at least 5 °C under the lowest
ambient temperature
The screw compressor oils should have low tendency to ageing and foaming.

3. Guarantee

If lubrication oils are used which do not meet the requirements, damage to the compressor may
occur. This damage is not covered by HATLAPA's guarantee obligations.

4. Lubricant Examples

The following oils are examples which comply with the above specification:

BP ENERSYN RC-S 68
CASTROL AIRCOL SR-68
CHEVRON TEXACO (FAMM) CETUS PAO 68
TOTAL (LUBMARINE) BARELF SM-68 / DACNIS-68
ESSO (ExxonMobil Marine) RARUS SHC-1026
MOBIL (ExxonMobil Marine)
SHELL CORENA AS-68
However, the oil properties are subject to change without notice by the
oil manufacturer. Also, the oil characteristics may vary depending on the
regional market. Therefore this list does not release the operator of the
compressor from verifying that the selected oil complies with the above
specification.
