VARNASOLV: Lube System Conditioner & Cleaner

Solvent-alcohol (proprietary) Nonionic surfactant (detergent) Synthetic ester base fluid 77 cSt @ 40C (approx. ISO VG 68) Typically used at 10% by volume concentration Circulate for at least 40-60* hrs., drain while warm Can be used on many types of equipment Monitoring of oil filter & oil bypass is required to prevent oil starvation or shutdowns caused by high temperature limits

Types of equipment eligible for Varnasolv

Freudenberg Case Study: Energy savings of 9.5% by cleaning with Varnasolv (8%) & switching to SH-46 (1.5%). Varnasolv can be used on many types of equipment Rotary screw & rotary vane air compressors Centrifugal compressors Gearboxes Diesel & Nat. Gas engines Hydraulic systems Heat transfer systems When in doubt, call Klueber.
