Shell Corena S3 R is a premium quality air compressor oil designed to deliver high performance lubrication of
rotary sliding vane and screw air compressors. It uses an advanced additive system to provide excellent
protection and performance for compressors running with oil maintenance intervals of 4,000 hours and up to
6,000 hours under certain conditions.
Performance, Features & Benefits
- Long oil life – Maintenance saving Shell Corena S3 R is capable of providing oil maintenance
intervals of 4,000 hours (where allowed by manufacturers)
even when operating at maximum discharge temperatures
of up to 1000C. This may be extended to up to 6,000 hours
under certain conditions.
It is formulated to help:
- Resist formation of carbon deposits in sliding vane slots in
vane compressors
- Resist formation of deposits on rotating components in screw compressors.
- Resist thermal breakdown and deposit formation to maintain excellent internal surface cleanliness particularly in oil/air separator and coalescer systems.
- The exact oil maintenance interval will depend on intake air quality, duty cycle and ambient conditions. For hot and humid type climates as found in the Asian and Pacific regions, the lower oil drain period of 4,000hrs is recommended (also consult OEM recommendations).
- Outstanding wear protection With many years of successful application, Shell Corena S3 R helps provide effective protection of internal metal surfaces from corrosion and wear. It contains an advanced ashless anti-wear system to help
prolong the life of critical parts such as bearings and gears.
- Maintaining system efficiency
. Air release and prevention of foaming are critical
performance characteristics in a compressor oil, ensuring
reliable start-up and continuous compressed air availability.
Shell Corena S3 R is designed to provide rapid air release
without excessive foaming to give trouble-free operation
even under cycling conditions.
In addition, Shell Corena S3 R has excellent water
separation properties to help ensure continuous efficient
operation of the compressor even in the presence of water.
Main Application· Rotary sliding vane and screw air compressors
- Shell Corena S3 R is suitable for use in oil-flooded/ oil
injected single or two-stage rotary vane or screw air compressors.
