Description:

Petro-Canada’s Compressor Cleaner is a specially formulated synthetic fluid for cleaning varnish and sludge from compressors while they are operating. Petro-Canada Compressor Cleaner contains oxidation and rust inhibitors, and may be used as a short term compressor lubricant (up to 400 hours). It is fully compatible with mineral oils and most synthetic based fluids. Its high flash point and low toxicity ensures safety in its application.

Features & Benefits:

• Helps to maximize compressor performance and minimize downtime

• removes varnish or sludge left by the previously used lubricant

• regularly scheduled cleaning varnish build up and increases the cooling efficiency of the oil

• helps to extend the service life of the compressor

• Ensures peak performance of new fluid

• effective as a flushing fluid when converting from other products to Petro-Canada’s compressor fluids

• removes previously oxidized fluids, acidic compounds, sludges and varnishes that can significantly reduce the service life and performance of the new fluid

• Allows safe conversion from one fluid chemistry to another

• required when converting from a polyalkylene glycol or silicone based fluid to a mineral oil or synthetic hydrocarbon based fluid

• required when converting from a mineral oil, synthetic hydrocarbon or silicone based fluid to a polyalkylene glycol based fluid

Applications:

Petro-Canada Compressor Cleaner may be used to remove varnish, dirt and oxidized fluid from compressors and compressor lubricating systems. It is also effective when converting from one fluid chemistry to another.

Compressor Cleaner may be used as a flushing fluid when converting from other lubricants to Petro-Canada’s compressor fluids, and is highly recommended when converting varnished or dirty compressors.
