Cetus PAO
Ultra high performance synthetic compressor fluids
Cetus PAO are ultra high performance synthetic compressor fluids based on a combination of polyalphaolefins with advanced additive technology.
Applications
- Cetus PAO oils are formulated to provide excellent lubricating qualities for many air compressors, especially portable and stationary rotary, and screw compressors as well as single-stage, two-stage, and multistage reciprocating compressors.
- By using a synthetic compressor oil, efficiency improvements up to 5% in comparison with mineral oilbased products can be expected.
- While specific OEM recommendations vary, the ISO 46 and 68 grades are most used for rotary air compressors. While higher viscosity grades are preferred for reciprocating air compressors.
- Since reciprocating compressors require both a crankcase lubricant and a cylinder lubricant, Cetus PAO oils are formulated to meet this dual requirement.
- Cetus PAO 68 is specially developed for the lubrication of turbochargers in marine diesel engines, where two separate lubricating oil systems are in place.
- Cetus PAO 46 is used in Knorr-Bremse sliding vane compressors. Cetus PAO 68 is used in Knorr-Bremse rotating vane compressors.
- Cetus PAO 68 is suitable for the lubrication of turbochargers in marine diesel engines.
- Cetus PAO 68 can be used for vacuum pumps GPM 65 ATEX II 2G IIB 4, from Axlow LTD.
