THE INFLUENCE OF NATURAL GAS COMPOSITION ON SCREW COMPRESSOR OIL
Journal Title: Jurnalul Stiintific TURBO - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
A comparative research regarding the influence of natural gas composition on screw compressor oil was carried out in order to establish the optimal maintenance program of COMOTI’s already installed screw compressors. Thus, samples from two different natural gas extraction sites were analysed in order to assess the oil degradation degree. Functional analysis as flash point and cinematic viscosity have been made but also structural analysis - FTIR was carried out in order to determine the chemical transformations that occured during the compressor’s work. The chosen oil is XT 100 compressor oil, which is a mineral base oil. Working in chemically, aggressive, wet gases and under special conditions for the operation of screw compressors, a mineral base oil is affected both related to base characteristics and inner structure. The degradation tendency of the oil is currently under analysis.
