ECOSYN VE/VP Series
Synthetic Vacuum Pump Lubricants
Description
The ECOSYN synthetic vacuum pump lubricants are a combination of high grade synthetic base fluids and specially engineered additive systems. They are used successfully for the long term lubrication of rotary vane, screw, or piston type vacuum pumps where the lowest obtainable vacuum is required.
ECOSYN can be used successfully for pumping the following gases:
| Air | Ethylene Oxide | Natural Gas |
| Benzene | Furnace (crack) Gas | Nitrogen |
| Butadiene | Helium | Propane |
| Carbon Dioxide (dry) | Hydrogen | Sulphur Hexafluoride |
| Carbon Monoxide | Hydrogen Sulfide (dry) | Synthesis Gas |
| Ethylene | Methane | Halogen Compounds |
| NOx | O2 | O3 |
The nominal operating range is –15°C to 230°C.
ECOSYN offers high performance protection of vacuum pumps in extreme conditions: high load and temperatures, intermittent operation, in warm or cold climates and in mobile applications.
Advantages
The ECOSYN synthetic vacuum pump lubricants have a multitude of advantages over mineral oils and other synthetic oils:
- Low volatility, resulting in lower evaporation losses and greater vacuums.
- Wide temperature range stability.
- Reduced vacuum pump maintenance with very long drain intervals.
- Low friction properties and resistance to viscosity increase from oxidation. This helps improve operating efficiency and saves money on electrical energy consumption.
- Excellent foam control, reducing heat, oxidation and wear. High contact regions are protected against wear for increased vacuum pump life and efficiency.
- Enhanced water separation. Condensing exhaust water vapor can cause unwanted oil/water emulsions, environmental discharge hazards and rust. ECOSYN resists acid formation, readily separates from water and is anti-rust fortified. Water can be easily drained off for simplified environmental discharge and increased oil life.
- Increased resistance to varnish, carbon and acid formation. Providing better protection and longer service life, especially during hot operating conditions.
- High viscosity index. This results in a minimum change in viscosity with temperature. The adequate viscosity for proper lubrication is provided regardless of temperature change.
- Excellent cold temperature starting and pumpability.
- Fire and explosion possibilities are greatly reduced due to the low carbon forming tendencies and due to the relatively high flash, fire and auto ignition points.
- Operating temperature reduction. ECOSYN cools and removes heat more efficiently.
- Good compatibility with all types of seals and coatings.
These benefits mean for the user ECOSYN Synthetic Vacuum Pump Lubricants: the lowest obtainable pressure, higher reliability and lower operational costs. The reliability is also supported by our own oil analysis program.
