Section VII - Compressor Fluids Fluid Analysis Program - General Quincy’s fluid analysis program is offered to all customers using QuinSyn fluids in Quincy Compressor® Rotary Screw Compressors. This service provides optimum drain intervals for compressors operating on QuinSyn fluids. Monitoring of the total acid number (TAN), barium level and/or viscosity throughout the life of the fluid provides maximum protection to your machine, while best utilizing the extended life features of QuinSyn. The fluid analysis provides historical information, detailing items such as hours on the fluid, viscosity and total acid number (TAN). Should results appear unusual or suspicious, a detailed analysis can pinpoint specific contaminants. A detailed report is furnished to you, your Quincy Distributor and the Quincy Compressor® factory upon completion of the fluid analysis. Although QuinSyn fluids are rated by hours of life expectancy under normal operating conditions, it is recommended that fluid samples be taken every 500 to 2000 hours
and sent to Quincy Compressor® Fluid Analysis until a history of performance in a specific compressor application is established. Once the appropriate drain interval is established, the frequency of the fluid analysis can be reduced unless operating conditions change.
Notice! All Quincy Compressor ® extended airend warranty programs require that fluid samples be sent to Quincy Compressor® Fluid Analysis a minimum of every 2,000 hours. The depletion of antioxidants, change of viscosity, barium and acid levels all occur with time. It is extremely important to change QuinSyn before the antioxidants are completely depleted. If the fluid is left in the compressor beyond its useful life, removing all of the spent fluid is difficult. The oxidation products remaining can considerably shorten the life of the new fill of QuinSyn fluid.
