3.4 Oil System
3.4.1 Recommended Oil
The compressor is factory filled with BroomWade
4000 HR Oil or CompAir FG Lubricant.
1. BroomWade 4000 HR Oil
This is a high performance oil with excellent
lubrication and cooling characteristics
formulated to maintain internal cleanliness,
reduce the build-up of deposits on filter
elements and extend component life.
2. CompAir FG Lubricant
A synthetic hydrocarbon based lubricant
which has been specially developed for use
where discharge air may come into contact
with foodstuffs or for reasons of health or
environment. CompAir FG Lubricant meets
the requirements of FDA regulation 21 CFR
178.3570 and is USDA H-1 approved.
The local CompAir BroomWade distributor will
assist in the selection of an appropriate lubricant
and in many cases will also be able to arrange for
regular sampling of the oil to monitor the condition
of the compressor, and to determine the oil change
intervals to ensure optimum performance.
3.4.2 To Check the Oil Level:
To view the oil level sightglass, remove the front
panel of the plant.
When stopped the mimimum level is indicated
when the sightglass is less than half full. The
maximum level is indicated when the sightglass is
full and the oil reaches the bottom threads in the
filler neck.
When running on-load the minimum level is
indicated when oil is no longer visible in the
sightglass.
If necessary top up the separator with oil as
follows:
The compressor must be stopped.
1. Open the door to the service area.
2. Unscrew the filler cap.
3. Fill to the correct level with BroomWade
approved lubricant.
4. Refit the filler cap and tighten by hand.
5. Close the service area door.
CAUTION: Always use the correct grade of oil and
do not mix oils of different types.
