AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil 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 non-detergent 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) make
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®
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
non-flammable.
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. Materials recommended
and not recommended for use with SIROCCO Compressor
Oil are listed below.
*AMSOIL SIROCCO Compressor Oil is NOT RECOMMENDED
as a replacement for or for use with the silicone-based compressor
