Shell Corena S3 R 46

Shell Corena S3 R 68

Premium Rotary Air Compressor Oil

Oil for rotary air compressors with increased operating parameters

Shell Corena S3 R is a high performance oil for screw and vane air compressors.
The advanced additive package provides excellent protection and excellent lubricating properties in compressors, enabling a replacement interval of 4,000 hours (when in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's requirements).

Application:

• Vane and screw air compressors
  Shell Corena S3 R is suitable for single or two stage vane and screw compressors
  having a dip or injection lubrication system.

Features and benefits

• Extended replacement intervals - longer life
  Shell Corena S3 R maintains replacement intervals of 4,000 hours (as long as approved by the device manufacturer), even when operating with
  maximum discharge temperature up to 1000C. In addition, it provides:
• resistance to the formation of carbon deposits in the gaps of vane compressors.
• Resists the formation of deposits on the rotating components of screw compressors.
• resistance to thermal degradation and deposit formation ensures excellent cleanliness in oil/air separators and coalescing systems.
• oil change intervals will depend on intake air cleanliness, operating conditions and environmental conditions. For humid and hot climates in Asia and the Pacific, a replacement period is recommended
  less than 4,000 h (check manufacturer's recommendations).
• Outstanding wear protection
  Many years of successful use show that Shell Corena S3 R provides excellent protection of internal metal surfaces against corrosion and wear. The advanced package of ashless anti-wear additives significantly extends the service life of the most vulnerable components, such as bearings or gears.
• Efficient operation of systems
  Rapid air release and anti-foaming are critical compressor oil properties for quick start-up and constant air pressure. Shell Corena S3 R is designed to release air quickly without excessive foam formation, ensuring trouble-free operation, even when used intermittently. In addition, Shell Corena S3 R has excellent water separation properties to ensure continuous compressor operation, even in the presence of water.
