Application Manual

Minimum Allowable Lube Oil Temperature

The frame oil temperature must meet a specific minimum prior to starting the compressor. As well, it must meet a specific minimum temperature prior to loading the compressor. These temperatures are based upon the oil viscosity since there are some differences in similar weight oils that may be suitable for the frame oil system. See the Ariel Packager Standards Section 6, Compressor Frame Lubricants, for viscosity and temperature information.
