Don’t Neglect your Air Compressor

September 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment

*If you liked this article please submit a comment*

Many people and businesses own small air compressors that are used for tasks such as inflating tires and balls,spraying paints and varnishes and running air tools like nailers, impact wrenches and air ratchets.

Oil-lubricated home and Shop compressors are typically powered by an electric motor that is connected to the pump unit either directly or by a belt. When the electric motor turns the pump unit a piston creates a vacuum as it travels down the cylinder and pulls air through the inlet port. As the inlet valve closes and the piston travels up the cylinder, air is compressed and pushed through the discharge port and into the tank.

Air Compressor

The tank is filled with compressed air until it reaches a preset pressure, at which time the motor and pump shut off until the pressure in the tank drops to a predetermined point and needs to be Filled again

Although driven by an electric motor, oil-lubricated piston-type small air compressor pump units contain a crankshaft, valves, pistons, piston rings and bearings that require lubrication. Like the engines found on push mowers, compressors of this type often rely on a splash lubrication method to protect parts against wear.

Compressor maintenance is not a high priority for many people. Compressor units tend to be used only on an intermittent basis, and the oil is rarely, if ever, checked or changed. However, like any other engine, it is important to check the oil level occasionally and top it off if necessary to ensure optimum equipment protection and performance.

Compressor Oil Challenges

The challenges faced by compressor oils include the following:

  • Reduce friction and dissipate heat.  The more the pump unit runs, the hotter it becomes.
  • Resist sludge and varnish to keep valves from sticking or leaking.
  • Minimize foaming. Foam is a common byproduct of splash lubrication systems, leading to overheating and oxidation problems.
  • Corrosion and rust control. Water is a natural byproduct of compressed air, often working its way into the compressor oil and leading to rust and corrosion problems in the pump.
  • Good cold temperature performance for units used in cold climates.

AMSOIL  Synthetic Compressor Oils

AMSOIL compressor oils cover many types of compressors. From home and small shop reciprocating units to various industrial machines like rotary screw, rotary vane compressors. Lets take a look at the AMSOIL products most suited for home and shop use. Contact me directly for industrial compressor applications such as rotary screw, rotary vane compressors.

AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil Testimonial

August 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Below you will read a testimonial from a Certified Lubrication Specialist (CL

AMSOIL 20w50 Motorcycle Oil

AMSOIL MCV 20w50

S) that has had a positive experience with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil 20w50. As we have documented before in the Motorcycle Oil Testing article,

AMSOIL manufactures the highest quality products available. Though vigorous testing, AMSOIL motorcycle oil’s outperform the competition by offering high wear protection, and ultimate performance.

 

You’ll notice by my signature below that I am an employee of Chevron Global lubricants division. I originally worked for Amoco at the R&D facility before moving into marketing, and while in that role, Chevron bought our lubricants business right after I moved to Florida.

All in all, I have more than 34 years of experience in fuels and lubricants testing, development and tech service support.

I own three motorcycles that I either drive on the street or race. What I wanted to share with you today is my experience with my drag bike.

It is a Yamaha Roadstar Warrior. Originally built as a power cruiser, but now it is stretched, slammed and built to run on E-85 fuel and nitrous oxide. I have taken this bike from a fun street cruiser to a beast that wants to jump out from under me every time I snap the throttle.

The engine is putting out more than three times the horsepower it was originally built with, and with the highly oxygenated fuel, nitrous and severe use, I have been battling cylinder and piston ring distress for a couple of years. Essentially, whenever I did a teardown, there was evidence of streaking of the Nikasil-lined aluminum cylinder, essentially a scuffing situation that is aggravated by the high cylinder pressures and fuel dilution.

Since Chevron does not make motorcycle oils, I have had to try many of the “other” different motor oils, all synthetic. To make a long story short, I should have read your white paper on motorcycle oil testing. It would have saved me at least three premature teardowns. Bottom line – the AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil has completely solved my problems. I have been running it for over a year now, and compression and leakdown have stayed at the exact level as when the engine was freshly rebuilt. This weekend, I tore down the top end to try a new piston ring combination, and the cylinders had absolutely NO sign of streaking or other wear-related distress.

Also, all other clearances, including valve lash and valve guide and bearing, have stayed the same. This is truly remarkable.

In my training endeavors, I run into a lot of end users who are high performance junkies just like me. I have no problem sharing my experience with the AMSOIL products. In fact, just last month, I gave some lubricant training to 187 instructors at the UTI technical school in Orlando. I made it very clear that I was a big fan of yours. Thank you so much for the great product.
