Ingersoll Rand Ultra EL compressor lubricant

To enhance operational efficiency and reduce maintenance requirements, Ingersoll Rand has developed the Ultra EL (extended life) rotary compressor lubricant. This next-generation synthetic lubricant is formulated to perform up to 16,000 h to maximise uptime and reduce life cycle costs.

Ultra EL high-performance lubricant is claimed to allow air compressors to run cooler and more efficiently, even in high ambient temperature environments. Ultra EL’s composition protects critical components, significantly reducing wear and increasing component longevity while enhancing overall compressor performance.

Ultra EL is best suited to high-demand, multishift applications. When used in demanding environments, Ultra EL halves change-out frequency, minimising downtime and reducing maintenance requirements, disposal costs and environmental impact. Unlike conventional or generic lubricants, Ultra EL will not leave deposits that can clog compressors or break down into harmful acids or alcohols that can varnish equipment. Ultra EL also features good water separation, which ensures continued lubricant performance and thus protection of the compressor. In addition to saving time and money, Ultra EL has a higher flash point (272°C) than most synthetic lubricants.
