Shell Corena S3 R 46
Premium Screw Compressor Oil
Benefits of the Corena S3 R 46 are:
- + Reliable protection
- + Long service life, efficiency
Shell Corena S3 R 46 is a high-performance compressor oil for the lubrication of rotary vane pumps and screw compressors. With the additive system used, Shell Corena S3 R 46 offers excellent protection and very good performance at oil change intervals up to 4000 hours, under certain conditions even up to 6000 hours
Features Shell Corena S3 R 46
+ Long oil life - saving on maintenance costs
Shell Corena S3 R 46 helps maintain service intervals of up to 4000 hours (if approved by the manufacturer), even at discharge temperatures of up to 100C. Under certain conditions, the oil change intervals can be extended to 6000 operating hours. Special Features:
- Shell Corena S3 R 46 was designed to reduce the formation of carbon residues in vane compressors.
- Shell Corena S3 R 46 helps to minimize the formation of deposits in screw compressors.
- High protection against oil ageing and the formation of deposits leads to excellent surface cleanliness - especially in oil separators and coalescing systems.
- The exact oil change interval depends on the quality of the air introduced, the load cycles and the operating conditions.
- For hot and humid climates such as those in Asia or the Pacific, a shortened oil change interval of up to 4,000 operating hours is recommended (see manufacturer's recommendations).
+ Outstanding wear protection
Shell Corena S3 R 46 helps to protect its internal metal surfaces against corrosion and abrasion through its wear protection, which has been proven for many years. It incorporates an advanced wear protection system to extend the life of critical parts such as bearings and gears.
+ Designed for efficient operation
Air separation capacity and low tendency to foaming are important performance characteristics of a compressor oil, which help to ensure reliable start-up and constant availability of compressed air. Shell Corena S3 R 46 supports trouble-free operation even with cyclical use due to its good air separation capacity without excessive foaming. In addition, Shell Corena S3 R 46 has excellent demulsibility, which ensures continuous operation of the compressor even in the presence of water.
