Description:

Petro-Canada’s COMPRO™ XL-R Compressor Fluid is premium quality, semi-synthetic lubricant specifically designed for use in single and multi-stage reciprocating compressors.

COMPRO XL-R starts with a blend of 99.9% pure base oils, produced using the HT Purity Process. These crystal clear fluids are free of impurities that can hinder lubricant performance. Utilizing more than 30 years of formulating experience, Petro-Canada blends these thermally stable fluids with synthetic esters, an anti-oxidant chemistry, and antiwear and anti-corrosion agents.

As a result, COMPRO XL-R Compressor Fluid provides outstanding lubrication in reciprocating compressors and is particularly effective in systems operating at high discharge temperatures and at pressures as high as 6000 psi (413 bar).

Features & benefits:

• Excellent lubrication at high temperatures and pressures

• extends compressor life by reducing piston-ring and cylinder wear

• High thermal stability reduces carbon formation and lowers maintenance costs

• extends maintenance intervals for valves and intercoolers

• valve carbon deposits are soft, so they are more easily removed

• not prone to ester deposit formation within intercoolers, where removal is difficult and costly

• Strong resistance to oxidative breakdown 

• Keeps compressor components free of sludge and varnish to ensure trouble free operation and lower maintenance costs on fluid change-out

• Reduces oil thickening, which can improve compressor efficiency and lower energy consumption costs.

• Excellent protection against wear

• Prolongs the service life of working components

• Can extend the time between compressor overhauls

• Reduces overall maintenance costs

• Protects against rust and corrosion

• Helps to extend component life, especially when running intermittent service in high humidity conditions

• Does not attack commonly used plastic and rubber components

• ensures longer lasting seals and hoses

Applications:

COMPRO XL-R Compressor Fluid is recommended for lubrication and cooling of both single and multi-stage reciprocating air compressors which operate at high discharge temperatures.

COMPRO XL-R may be used in multi-stage, reciprocating compressors running with output pressures as high as 6000 psi (413 bar). In addition to the crankcase it is suitable for direct injection systems on cylinders of larger compressors. Due to its excellent resistance to water contamination, COMPRO XL-R may be used in high humidity conditions.

COMPRO XL-R is suitable for use in compressors that handle air, and inert gases such as nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, neon, helium, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and blast furnace gas.

COMPRO XL-R meets equipment manufacturers’ requirements for ISO 68 COMPRO XL-R meets or exceeds the industry standard (DIN 51506 VDL) for reciprocating compressor fluid.

• COMPRO XL-R is compatible with:

 • All mineral, ester and PAO based compressor fluids

• All standard seal and hose materials except ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM)

• Polycarbonate filter bowls
