Fluid Specifications
The functions of the compressor fluid are:
• to lubricate the bearings and rotors.
• to remove heat from the air as it is
being compressed thus lowering the
compressed air discharge temperature.
• to seal the rotor clearances.
We recommend that all Quincy rotary
screw compressors be filled with one of the
following synthetic fluids:
QuinSyn-Plus - Standard fill. Synthetic
hydrocarbon/ester blend.
QuinSyn-XP - Standard fill for high
pressure applications.
Synthetic polyolester.
QuinSyn-PG - Synthetic polyalklene
glycol/ester blend.
QuinSyn-F - Special fluid blend for food
grade applications.
