Applications

N/A Reciprocating Air Compressors - Shell Corena S4 P 100 is suitable for all industrial reciprocating air compressors, in particular those operating under severe conditions of air discharge temperatures in excess of 220 C with continuous high delivery pressures.

Breathing Air Compressors - Shell Corena S4 P 100 may be used in breathing air compressors, provided subsidiary clean-up apparatus is used to ensure that the air produced is fit for breathing.

Features and Benefits

N/A Long Oil Life - Maintenance Saving - Shell Corena S4 P 100 is designed to provide safe, reliable and effective lubrication for extended service periods where mineral compressor lubricants are unsatisfactory. With an extremely low tendency for deposit build-up, Shell Corena S4 P 100 helps ensure continued high performance of the compressor over long periods and reduces maintenance costs and shutdowns. Shell Corena S4 P 100 can extend the normal valve maintenance period from typically up to 1000 hours of operation using conventional mineral oils, to 2000 to 4000 hours depending on operating conditions.

Outstanding Wear Protection - Shell Corena S4 P 100 helps provide exceptional protection of internal metal surfaces from corrosion and wear to help prolong the life of critical parts such as bearings and gears. 

Maintaining System Efficiency - Shell Corena S4 P 100 helps prevent the formation of carbon deposits and lacquer on valves and piston crowns at high working temperatures and pressures. These can cause serious damage, low compressor efficiency and increase maintenance costs. In addition, Shell Corena S4 P 100 has excellent water separation to help prevent accelerated corrosion and facilitating easy draining of condensate.

Enhanced Air Line Safety - In discharge air lines, the combination of rust particles, dispersed in carbonaceous deposits, coupled with heat from recently compressed air, can cause a reaction leading to the possibility of fires and explosion. Shell Corena S4 P 100 helps to minimize the likelihood of this danger.

Claims (Meets Requirements)

N/A BS EN 12021 DIN 51506 VDL ISO 6743-3 2003 DAB - Severe Duty ISO/DP 6521-L-DAB - Medium Duty

Additional Information

N/A Miscibility - Shell Corena S4 P 100 is fully miscible with mineral oils, although dilution with mineral lubricants will markedly reduce its performance.

Seal Compatibility - Shell Corena S4 P 100, in common with other ester-baed lubricants, is not compatible with all seal materials, and some older compressors may need to have the seals changed before they can be run on the new grades.
