At present, there are more famous compressor oils. The base oils of compressor oils alone include: mineral oil, secondary hydrogenation mineral oil, hydrogenation isomerization Class III base oil, natural gas synthesis Class III base oil, PAO, polyether, ester oil including (diester and polyol ester), silicone oil, etc.
Compressor oils on sale are common compressor oils (based on mineral oil), synthetic oils and semi-synthetic oils. Among them, synthetic oil is relatively chaotic. Synthetic oil is a base oil obtained by chemical synthesis. shell refers to hydroisomerized Class III base oil as XHVI ultra-high viscosity index synthetic oil. This base oil is obtained by deep refining of mineral oil. What is more exciting is GTL Class III base oil synthesized by natural gas.
As for the semi-synthetic compressor oil, it is somewhat confusing. The emergence of semi-synthetic oil is aimed at the fact that it is difficult to meet the working conditions of the compressor with pure mineral grease. By adding some synthetic oil with special structure, it is a targeted improvement in some aspects of its functions. A technical solution that not only guarantees performance but also minimizes cost increases. The performance of semi-synthetic oil is not a simple average of the performance of synthetic oil and mineral oil. Choosing a reasonable semi-synthetic oil blending scheme can sometimes get unexpected performance.
The question is: what is the content of mineral oil base oil in semi-synthetic oil? What is the type and content of synthetic oil? Since Class III base oil belongs to unconventional base oil, part of Class III base oil is formed by hydroisomerization of mineral oil, and part of it is GTL Class III base oil synthesized by natural gas. In recent years, people have distinguished Class III base oil from mineral oil and other synthetic oils. It is called Class III oil. This name is appropriate, reasonable and clear.
