Enersyn RC-S Range
Synthetic Rotary Compressor Lubricant
Description
The Enersyn RC-S compressor oil range of premium lubricants are based on polyalpha-olefin (PAO) fluids and are for use in
rotary screw compressors.
Application
Enersyn RC-S is suitable for use in oil flooded rotary screw compressors operating under extreme climatic conditions, harsh
environments and severe operating conditions where very high air / oil discharge temperatures are experienced. These oils
are also suitable for use in compressor units operating at normal operating conditions, where extended drain intervals are
required.
For normal operating conditions, these products can be used for extended drain intervals up to 8000 hours.
Enersyn RC-S range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone, polyurethane and fluropolymer seal materials typically used in
compressor units. It is not compatible with butadiene styrene (SBR) or ethylene propylene (EPDM) seals.
Enersyn RC-S is classified as follows: ISO 6743-3 Compressor Oils:
DAG, DAH and DAJ for rotary air compressors
Enersyn RC-S grades meet the requirements of:
Atlas Copco 8000 hour oil drain interval
Kaeser
Main Performance Features
• Typical oil service life up to 8000 hours in most systems*.
• Very low deposit forming tendency, extends service life of filters and separators.
• Outstanding oxidation stability and antiwear performance.
• Ester-free formulation eliminates the formation of corrosive acids in the presence of water and high temperatures.
• Excellent water separation characteristics allows condensation to readily separate from the oil, minimising the risk of
emulsions which could block the oil separator element.
• PAO based lubricant means good compatibility with seals and mineral oil based lubricants.

Packaging and Storage
All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid
the possible ingress of water and the obliteration of drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C, exposed to
hot sun or freezing conditions.
