Air compressor oil and oil are not exactly the same they are different in terms of use, composition, viscosity grade, use temperature range and cleanliness requirements. Here is a detailed comparison of the two oils:
| Air compressor oil | oil | |
|---|---|---|
| use | mainly used in air compressors, play the role of lubrication, cooling, sealing, etc. | Mainly used in automobile engines, playing the role of lubrication, cooling, sealing, cleaning, etc. |
| Ingredients | mainly mineral oil or synthetic oil, which requires good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance | in addition to mineral and synthetic oils, additives such as antiwear agents and detergents are added to improve their performance. |
| Viscosity grade | usually lower to reduce the resistance of compressed air | choose different viscosity grades according to the working environment and use requirements of the engine |
| use temperature range | can usually work at lower temperatures | need to be able to work at higher temperatures |
| cleanliness requirements | the cleanliness requirements for oil are relatively low, because the internal structure of the air compressor is relatively simple | high requirements for the cleanliness of engine oil, because the internal structure of automobile engines is complex, and impurities such as carbon deposits and sludge need to be effectively removed |
| other features | has good oxidation resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. | In addition to lubrication, cooling, sealing and other functions, it is also necessary to undertake the task of cleaning the inside of the engine |
in addition, there may also be differences between air compressor oil and engine oil in terms of flash point. The flash point of air compressor oil is generally required to be above 180°C to prevent sparks from causing explosions in high temperature and high pressure environments, while oil has relatively low flash point requirements.
In general, although air compressor oil and oil are lubricants, they are significantly different in many aspects. Therefore, when selecting and using, it is necessary to distinguish according to specific equipment and application scenarios, and cannot be mixed at will.
