What type of engine oil does the air compressor require?
It depends on what circumstances you use,For use in summer, use No. 20 oil,Use 30 oil in winter;There are special compressor oil, which should be based on the needs and temperature to master!
The main types of empty compressor, small air pump general machine oil on the line, not too high viscosity, 0.6 more than to use air compressor oil, high pressure gas production factory continuous operation or large air compressor according to the instructions made of oil, can not replace the selected model is 32, or 46, and mineral oil is a semi synthetic oil synthetic oil, according to the size of the region and the selection of air compressor.
One of the characteristics of lubricants is that the viscosity decreases when the temperature is high and the viscosity increases when the temperature is low. Therefore, the compressor should be based on different seasons (mainly summer and winter), that is, according to different temperatures to select the appropriate lubricant. China's lubricating oil viscosity is higher the greater the number of. Therefore, under conditions, winter and summer lubricants should be differentiated. In the general compressor, the cylinder a filler part in summer use 19 compressor oil, winter use 18 compressor oil. The crankshaft connecting rod section is available in summer with mechanical oil No. 50. Winter can use 30 and 40 mechanical oil, so that the compressor will be better lubrication. General single acting small compressor, winter use 13 compressor oil, summer use 19 compressor oil.
