Technical
For optimal performance, ensure the compressor oil is stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Regular maintenance checks should be performed to monitor oil levels and condition. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for viscosity grade selection and service intervals to extend the life of the equipment. PPE recommended includes safety shoes, overalls, gloves, and safety glasses. Gloves made from nitrile rubber are suitable for intermittent contact, and contaminated clothing should be washed before reuse.
Benefits
RENAIR 46 provides numerous benefits, including: - Good oxidation stability and resistance to ageing - Excellent wear and corrosion protection - Long service life of up to 4000 hours under normal operating conditions - Minimal carbon deposit formation - Efficient air separation and low foaming properties - Compatibility with various sealing materials ensures reduced maintenance and downtime.
Install
To use RENAIR 46, ensure that the compressor is turned off and cool before performing an oil change. Drain the existing compressor oil completely and replace the oil filter if necessary. Refill the compressor with RENAIR 46, ensuring you do not overfill. Start the compressor and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the new oil. Regularly check the oil levels and condition, and replace as necessary according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Fitment
RENAIR 46 is compatible with various compressor types, including rotary screw compressors, reciprocating compressors, and certain rotary vane compressors. It is also suitable for use as a heat transfer oil in closed circuit systems. For precise fitment, refer to the compressor manual or consult the manufacturer.

Inventory Extended Details
RENAIR 46 is a compressor oil that is formulated using carefully selected solvent-refined mineral oils. This ensures optimal oxidation inhibition, excellent corrosion prevention, and minimal coking tendency. RENAIR oils comply with and exceed the requirements of DIN 51 506 for lubricating oils and DIN 51 356 for carbon residue. These oils also contain additives to reduce wear and oxidation, allowing for higher load capacity, more severe operating conditions, and prolonged oil service intervals. RENAIR oils are highly recommended for oil-lubricated air compressors, including rotary screw, reciprocating, and certain types of rotary vane compressors. Their exceptional resistance to thermal decomposition also allows them to serve as quality heat transfer oils in both enclosed and cold expansion systems, suitable for use at temperatures up to 300ºC. For specific selection of viscosity grades, consult the compressor manufacturer's manual. Large reciprocating piston-type compressors operating at elevated temperatures and with an increased tendency for carbonaceous deposits should use Unisyn OL series compressor fluid for safety reasons.
