PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil (SEI) is
formulated with premium synthetic ester technology.
This high-quality, long-life fluid lasts several times longer
in use than mineral-based oils. AMSOIL SIROCCO®
Compressor Oil is fully formulated with nondetergent
additives and is designed for use in rotary screw compressors
and vacuum pumps. SIROCCO® effectively
protects against wear, oxidation, foam and rust and
has inherent lubricity and good thermal conductivity
which allow it to reduce heat and energy consumption.
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil increases operating
efficiency, reducing money spent on energy, repair
and maintenance costs.
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil maintains
performance across a wide operating temperature
range. Its low pour point, high viscosity index and
lack of paraffins (wax) makes it an excellent all season
lubricant. At high temperatures, SIROCCO® forms virtually
no carbon, allowing for clean operation. At cold
temperatures, equipment starts easier and the lubricant
is quickly pumped to critical components, preventing
lubricant starvation and excessive wear.
SIROCCO® Compressor Oil also resists water to prevent
damaging oil/water emulsions, allowing for longer lubricant
life and ease of water removal from the sump.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
• Resists foaming
• Rust and oxidation inhibited
• Readily separates from water
• Recommended for use in rotary screw compressors
• Long-life/extended drain performance.
• Compatible with polyglycol fluids such as Sullair
Sullube 32® and Ingersoll-Rand SSR Ultra-coolant®
• Biodegradable under the CEC-L33-A94 standard safety
advantage
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Ester Compressor Oil
has higher flash, fire and auto ignition points than competitive
petroleum oils. Its resistance to carbon formation
and the ashless additive system minimize the
incidence of deposits acting as ignition-promoting hot
spots. Although AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic
Compressor Oil increases fire safety, it cannot be considered
nonflammable.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil is a
multi-viscosity oil meeting the requirements of 5W-20. It
may be used in applications calling for either an ISO-32
or ISO-46 compressor oil or coolant. It is recommended
for use in single and multi-stage rotary screw compressors
and vacuum pumps that call for this viscosity.
When installing AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil,
it is recommended that the old oil be thoroughly drained
and if warranted, the system cleaned. If a lot of carbon
or residue is found on the internal compressor parts,
follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for removal
prior to installing the new oil. AMSOIL SIROCCO®
Compressor Oil has a high level of solvency and may
remove deposits left in the system. Check the filters
and oil/air separators regularly for the first 500 hours of
operation and replace as necessary.
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil is compatible
with and recommended as a replacement for much
higher priced polyalkylene glycol (PAG) compressor oils
or coolants such as Sullair Sullube 32® and Ingersoll
Rand SSR Ultra Coolant®. No flushing is necessary
when changing over from Glycol Coolants to AMSOIL
SIROCCO® Compressor Oil. However, draining the
system and changing the filters is recommended.
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil is recommended
for use up to 8,000+ hours for most compressor
applications. However, this is subject to operating
conditions and maintenance practices. Monitoring by
oil analysis every 1,000 hours is recommended.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil is compatible with
petroleum oils, most synthetic oils*, and many seals,
paints and materials commonly used in compressors.
