Section VII - Compressor Fluids
Converting to QuinSyn
QuinSyn fluids are compatible with the materials and
elastomers used in mineral oil systems. Converting your
compressor from mineral oil to QuinSyn or QuinSyn IV
may be as easy as a simple flush to remove any sludge
and varnish present. Emphasis must be placed on
draining after each step. Contaminants left in the
compressor after flushing have a direct effect on the
fluid's life. Once the oxidized material (varnish) is
dissolved in the QuinSyn Flush, the cleaner and varnish
must be removed from the compressor and system parts
(particularly in areas like filters, coolers and piping, etc.).
See your Quincy Compressor Distributor to assist in the
evaluation of your compressor.
NOTICE!
If converting to QuinSyn F from any QuinSyn
fluid contact the Quincy Service Department.
