Lubrication Optimization of a Screw Compressor Used Natural Gas

Journal Title: Jurnalul Stiintific TURBO - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

Present paper shows the lab tests results for oil samples obtained during the monitoring process within period 12.2016 – 01.2017 from compressor C4 deployed at Munteni extraction site, which uses PAG oil. Base characteristics determinations were performed as well as FTIR testing for the samples tapped at 3171 and 3195 working hours before and after the periodical maintenance of the compressor, when 60 more liters of new oil have been added. The degradation tendency of the oil was assessed. The preliminary conclusions regarding the degradation of base characteristics, emphasizes a better maintenance of these characteristics related to the previous used oil. The degradation tendency of the oil is currently under analysis and also it’s compatibility with polymeric parts of the compressor is assessed.
