Product Description
Mobil Gas Compressor Oil is a premium quality, high performance, synthetic gas
compressor lubricant based on poly-alkylene glycol. It is primarily intended
for use in gas compressors for hydrocarbon and chemical gases where the
crankcases and bearings operate in a gas filled atmosphere. It is particularly
suitable for marine service on vessels carrying liquefied gas cargoes. It also
has application in general industry where problems with oil and gas solubility
issues have resulted in less than satisfactory equipment performance. Compared
with conventional mineral oil, Mobil Gas Compressor Oil has a lower gas
solubility and consequently resists dilution and has improved viscosity
control which results in additional protection against wear, improved
efficiency and reduced foaming.
Features and Benefits
Mobil Gas Compressor Oil is a special purpose synthetic product developed to
reduce the problems resulting from gas dissolving in the lubricant and causing
problems with wear, sealing, increased maintenance and frequent oil changes.
It offers the following features and potential benefits:
