Section VII - Compressor Fluids QuinSyn PG QuinSyn PG is a custom blended polyalklene glycol/ester (PAG). QuinSyn PG is an ISO 46 viscosity fluid with an 8,000 hour life under normal operating conditions (exact fluid life is determined by the fluid analysis program) and is the chosen fluid for Quincy’s new five-year airend warranty effective June 1, 2000 (see Blue Alert #566). Under extended warranty conditions QuinSyn PG fluid life is rated at 8,000 hours or one year, whichever occurs first.

this fluid from condensate will require those separators designed to handle fluid emulsions. The QIOWA fluid/water separator is suitable for separation of fluid emulsions such as QuinSyn PG. Please contact Quincy’s Service Department for more details. Fluid Analysis Program The fluid sampling for QuinSyn PG has been extended to 2,000 hours because of the superior quality and forgiving nature of this fluid. The new five-year extended warranty with QuinSyn PG requires 2,000 hour sampling as a condition of maintaining the warranty.
Notice! To maintain warranty compliance, fluid samples of QuinSyn PG must be sent to Quincy Compressor® Fluid Analysis a minimum of every 2,000 hours.
Applications QuinSyn PG is the recommended fluid in high humidity applications due to its ability to hold water. QuinSyn PG is best suited for applications where high humidity exists and the machine cannot be shut down to drain water from the reservoir. Disposal QuinSyn PG is considered nonhazardous waste. Disposal of this fluid should be done in accordance with Local, State, and Federal regulations. Separation of

Because this fluid differs from QuinSyn, different methods are employed to evaluate the fluid in the sampling program. Primary concerns with this fluid are the total acid number (TAN) and barium levels. QuinSyn PG will not be condemned on water percentage nor antioxidants but will be condemned on low barium and high TAN values. The barium in the fluid acts as a corrosion inhibitor, therefore we have set low limits for this additive (see page 60 for limits).
