Section VII - Compressor Fluids QuinSyn Flush
Cleaning and Flushing With QuinSyn Flush
QuinSyn Flush is a specially formulated synthetic fluid capable of dissolving varnish and solubilizing sludge from lubricating systems while they are operating. QuinSyn Flush contains oxidation and rust inhibitors, and can be used as a shortterm fluid (for a maximum of 500 hours). It is fully compatible with mineral oils and QuinSyn synthetic fluids, and is highly recommended for use as a flushing fluid when converting to QuinSyn PG from QuinSyn or QuinSyn IV.
Normal Machines Flushing clean machines presently using: A. Mineral Oils
Drain compressor thoroughly while hot including all the low areas. Shut down and lockout the machine. Detach lines and drain. Inspect machine; if clean, change filters and separator elements and proceed as follows:
Fill with QuinSyn Flush and run machine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Drain and refill with a fresh charge of the QuinSyn fluid selected for your machine. Send a fluid sample to Quincy Compressor® Fluid Analysis at 200 hours.
Applications Cleaning fluid for removal of varnish, dirt and oxidized fluid from compressor fluid systems. Flushing fluid when changing from other fluids to QuinSyn fluids. Typical Properties of QuinSyn Flush Viscosity @ 100°F ASTM D445 43.3 cSt. Viscosity @ 210°F ASTM D445 Viscosity Index
Drain compressor thoroughly as in (A). Fill machine with QuinSyn Flush and run for 500 hours. Send a fluid sample to Quincy Compressor® Fluid Analysis. Flush may need to be repeated several times. Analysis will determine if further flushes are needed.
