ROOTS™ Blowers and Compressor Synthetic Lubricating Oil
GE Dresser Roots Part No. 13106004
SPECIFICATIONS
After extensive life testing on rotary lobe blowers,
Dresser ROOTS™ introduced a special blend, high-temperature,
(polyalphaolefin based) synthetic lubricating
oil for ROOTS™ blowers in 1990.
LUBRICANT ADVANTAGES:
- High Oxidation Stability - Contains oxidation resistant additives that mean longer oil life and fewer oil changes. ROOTS™ synthetic lubricating oil excels in ASTM oxidation tests, and in the field, where it
counts. Longer oil life means lower expenditures, and greater conservation.
- Rapid Separation from Water - Promotes prolonged bearing life.
- Excellent Corrosion Protection - Contains synthetic
corrosion inhibitors. Protects during operation and acts as a preservative during shut down.
- Synthetic Solvency - Keeps equipment clean.
- Ashless - Keeps equipment free from metallic ash deposits.
- Compatible with Seals - Has excellent compatibility with seals.
- Blower Protection - Protects blower through a wide range of operating temperatures.
- Pour Point - from -40°F (-40°C). Flash Point - at 500°F (260°C).
- Range of Use - ROOTS™ synthetic lubricating oil can be used in any blower application or operating environment.
- High Film Strength - ROOTS™ synthetic lubricating oil carries up to 700% greater loads than other mineral and synthetic oils.
- Low Friction - Extremely low coefficient of friction proven to save energy over conventional oils.
- Compatibility With Other Oils - ROOTS™ synthetic lubricating oil is compatible with, and can be mixed with, other mineral oils and most other synthetic oils No special cleaning is required at change out for blowers previously running on mineral oil. NOTE: It is NOT compatible with silicone or glycol synthetics.
- ISO Grade Availability - Available in ISO Grade 100, 150, 220, or 320.
- Container Sizes - Available in one-quart containers, 12-quart cases, one-gallon containers, 5-gallon pails, or 55 gallon drums.
Today's ROOTS™ blowers and exhausters are designed
and built with the same attention to detail that has
firmly established the Dresser ROOTS reputation for
reliability, quality and technical excellence over the past
150 years. ROOTS™ synthetic lubricating oils are made with the
same quality and technical excellence standards to
meet the highest specifications required for maximum
performance.
