Castrol Aircol PD is a high-performance compressor oil designed for rotary and reciprocating compressors. It ensures clean operation, extended oil life, and reduced maintenance.
Description
Castrol Aircol PD – Premium Compressor Oil for Reliable Performance
Castrol Aircol PD is a range of high-performance compressor oils formulated from highly refined mineral base oils and carefully selected additives.
These lubricants provide excellent protection and performance for rotary and reciprocating compressors operating under a wide range of conditions.
The Aircol PD series is designed to meet the requirements of DIN 51506 VDL and ISO 6743-3A: Compressor Oils, making it suitable for both industrial and marine applications.
Product Description
Castrol Aircol PD oils ensure outstanding lubrication of bearings, rotors, and gears in rotary compressors.
They maintain film strength and stability even at high discharge temperatures of up to 220°C, and in reciprocating compressors with air discharge up to 160°C.
These compressor oils also reduce carbon formation and prevent deposit build-up on valves and pistons.
As a result, they help lower maintenance costs, extend service intervals, and improve overall compressor reliability.
Compatibility
The Aircol PD range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone, and fluoropolymer seal materials, ensuring long-term protection and leak-free operation.
