Converting to QuinSyn
from Cat Dragline Marion QGB Series (20-60 HP) Belt Drive Air Compressors Operation & Maintenance Manual
Converting to QuinSyn
QuinSyn fluids are compatible with the materials and elastomers used in mineral oil systems. Converting your compressor from mineral oil to QuinSyn or QuinSyn IV may be as easy as a simple flush to remove any sludge and varnish present. Emphasis must be placed on draining after each step. Contaminants left in the compressor after flushing have a direct effect on the fluid’s life. Once the oxidized material (varnish) is dissolved in the QuinSyn Flush, the cleaner and varnish must be removed from the compressor and system parts (particularly in areas like filters, coolers and piping, etc.). See your Quincy Compressor® Distributor to assist in the evaluation of your compressor.
notiCe!
If converting to QuinSyn F from any QuinSyn fluid contact the Quincy Service Department.
