Compressor Oils
Lubrication has a significant influence on the operational efficiency of all compressors. Modern compressors are not only smaller, but offer higher performance, therefore placing greater demands on the technical characteristics of the lubricating oil. To achieve maximum efficiency and lowest operating costs, reduced service times and increased maintenance intervals are demanded by users, meaning that the oil works harder for longer. FUCHS is at the forefront of compressor oil technology, working with OEMs to provide innovative solutions and market leading technology.

Lubricants for the Offshore Oil & Gas Industry

DESCRIPTION Compressed air has become a major form of energy and the reliable generation of compressed air is vital. Operators require compressors to function perfectly over and beyond entire service intervals. The RENOLIN UNISYN OL series was developed to meet the increased requirements of compressor manufacturers on the service life of compressor oils. Due to the function of compressors. At high compression temperatures, the oils are subjected to a strong oxidative attack that accelerates ageing.

Turbine Oils
Increasing efficiency and performance of gas turbines is placing greater demands on the performance of lubricants used in these applications. Significantly lower oil volumes for higher performance turbines; along with the use of oil circuits in combined cycle gas turbines require long life turbine oils which display outstanding thermal oxidation stability and excellent water and air release properties. FUCHS developed the RENOLIN ETERNA range to meet the demands of such machinery as well as highly stressed gearboxes.

MAIN APPLICATION AREA RENOLIN UNISYN OL products are recommended for use in flooded or oil injection screw-type air compressors (ISO VG 32, 46, 68) and for piston and rotary vane compressors (ISO VG 100, 150) Used if mineral oil-based products are found to display insufficient thermal stability (resistance to ageing) or poor viscosity-temperature behaviours.

DESCRIPTION RENOLIN ETERNA turbine oils were developed for gas, steam, and expansion turbines as well as for turbo compressors with and without gearboxes based on the latest lubrication technology. The excellent properties of the base oils produced in a special process are enhanced using a carefully selected additive system. RENOLIN ETERNA oils contain no metalorganic compounds and are therefore ashless. They provide a zinc-free wear protection. Approved by: Siemens Power Generation. MAIN APPLICATION AREA RENOLIN ETERNA is especially suited for use in turbine systems with a common control and lubricating oil circuit. It can also be used as a bearing and sealing oil in hydrogencooled generators.

MAIN APPLICATION AREA Universally applicable demulsifying hydraulic fluids and lubricating oils. They can be used in all trypes of mobile and stationary hydraulic units where the use of a demulsifying hydraulic oil (type HLP) is recommended. DESCRIPTION Proper function and operating safety of hydraulic systems is largely influenced by the quality of the hydraulic medium. In addition to the task of transferring forces, the operating fluid must seal, cool and lubricate. Since hydraulic oils are exposed to high stress due to the operating conditions, they have to fulfill a large number of requirements. Formulated using highly ageing resistant mineral oils and additives. Zinc containing HVLP hydraulic and general lubricating oils according to DIN 51 524-3. Mineral oil based, demulsifying.

DESCRIPTION The RENOLIN ZAF HV RANGE of hydraulic fluids has been developed to meet the challenge posed by hydraulic systems which are sensitive to viscosity variations, by the inclusion of shear stable viscosity stabilisers. The range is also ideal for powering hydraulic systems working in refrigerated plant, mobile equipment, or where the system demands a fluid capable of working over a wide temperature range. Based on high quality mineral oil, the RENOLIN ZAF HV RANGE offer excellent product characteristics including better viscosity / temperature relationship than convential type hydraulic fluids, enhanced anti-wear, anti-oxidation, demulsification and air release properties, along with decreased sludge formation and improved wet and dry filterability. Another major factor is their compatibility with silver plated components in hydraulic circuits.

DESCRIPTION RENOCLEAN S 08 RIG WASH is a water-based fluid designed for most general cleaning, degreasing and de-waxing operations. It is suitable for manual use or in steam cleaners or pressure washers. It is designed for the rapid release of emulsified oil. The most cost-effective approach for cleaning oil and grease contamination in industry is to use aqueous degreasing fluids. These fluids often, in the past, contained additives that were not biodegradable or ecologically safe. A further disadvantage was that traditional degreasers tended to be difficult to separate in down stream interceptors. FUCHS have overcome this problem by using high performance, water miscible degreasers meeting internationally accepted environmental standards and the requirements for down stream separators.

Technical support services


It has been said that the lubricant contained within a piece of machinery can be considered as a component of that machine. Its condition must therefore be maintained and monitored just like the machine itself. Because the life of machinery depends on the longevity of the lubricants used, routine and frequent analysis, to monitor their performance and quality, should be performed. In addition to a wide range of products, we also offer a variety of tailored support and management packages that take care of the maintenance of your plant and equipment and ensure the most effective use of your lubricants. Other technical support services include: n 24-Hour emergency telephone support line n Assistance with all lubricant queries and problems n OPITO certified engineers at your service n Full range of IMO certified bulk storage tanks available n Full range of lubricant dispensing equipment available n Advice on correct disposal of used lubricants and drums n Waste oil management services n Personnel training on all lubrication aspects n Advice on product change overs and clean outs n Complete laboratory facilities in the UK n Lubrication surveys and schedules n Advice on rationalisation and cost reduction initiatives n Plus more! Please just ask.

CENT condition monitoring service accurately analyses the condition of the fluid in use, generating easy-to-understand reports to establish wear trends and contamination sources. This helps to determine the anticipated life of the fluid, highlights potential problems before they occur and eliminates the possibility of machine failure, allowing maintenance work to be specifically targeted without affecting production (preventative maintenance).
