Manufacturer's description

Oil for rotary air compressors. Shell Corena S2 R is a high-quality oil with good detergent properties, developed for the lubrication of rotary vane and screw compressors. It uses a carefully selected detergent additive system to ensure good protection and performance for air compressors with operating pressures up to 15 bar and air discharge temperatures of 100 °C, with oil drain periods of up to 4,000 hours. This grade is ISO VG 46: kinematic viscosity 46 mm²/s at 40 °C and 6.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, flash point 230 °C, pour point -33 °C.

Applications

• Rotary vane compressorsSuitable for oil-flooded / oil-injected vane air compressors.
• Rotary screw air compressorsSuitable for oil-flooded / oil-injected air compressors with operating pressures up to 15 bar and air discharge temperatures of 100 0 C. Machines operating in mobile equipment, e.g. construction sites and railways, particularly in severe environments.
• Rotary vacuum pumpsShell Corena S2 R can be used in applications such as rotary and vane vacuum pumps. For medium vacuum pressures approaching 1x10-3 mbar, the use of Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 is suggested.

Performance & benefits

• Shell Corena S2 R is capable of delivering drain periods of up to 4,000 hours (where manufacturers permit this), even when the compressor operates continuously at air discharge temperatures up to 100 0 C. It is formulated to help: resist the formation of carbon deposits in the vane slots of rotary vane compressors.
• Resists deposit formation on the rotating components of screw compressors
• Maintains excellent cleanliness of internal component surfaces, particularly in oil/air separators.
• The precise oil maintenance interval will depend on the quality of the intake air, the duty cycle and the ambient conditions. For the hot, humid climates of the Asia-Pacific regions, a reduced oil drain period is recommended (consult the OEM recommendations).
• Outstanding wear protectionWith many years of successful application, Shell Corena S2 R helps ensure effective protection of internal metal surfaces against corrosion and wear. It contains a well-designed anti-wear system to help extend the life of critical components such as bearings and gears.
• Maintaining system efficiencyAir release and foam prevention are critical. In addition, Shell Corena S2 R allows water-oil emulsions to be separated from the air stream in oil/air separators and drying units.
• Long service life – reduced maintenance: Shell Corena S2 R is capable of delivering drain periods of up to 4,000 hours (where manufacturers permit this), even when the compressor operates continuously at air discharge temperatures up to 100 0 C. It is formulated to help
• Shell Corena S2 R is recognised and used by most compressor manufacturers worldwide
