Atlas Copco Air Compressor Lubricants (also known as air compressor oils) precautions For screw-type air compressors, only the dedicated screw oil (which cannot be used interchangeably with piston oil) should be used. Although oil-free air compressors do not come into contact with compressed air, the bearings and other parts still require lubrication (using dedicated lubricating grease). It is recommended to choose the original factory lubricants (Atlas Copco) recommended by the equipment manufacturer to ensure compatibility and performance matching. Correct selection and maintenance of lubricants can significantly reduce the failure rate of air compressors, extend equipment lifespan, and at the same time reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs.

Compatibility and Procurement The specifications of the gear hydraulic pumps equipped on different models of Atlas Copco industrial compressors (such as large fixed compressors, mobile compressors, etc.) vary. Specific parameters should be referred to in the hydraulic system description section of the equipment manual. If you need to purchase or replace, it is recommended to contact Atlas Copco's official website. Provide the compressor model and pump nameplate information (such as model, serial number) to ensure the precise compatibility of the accessories.

Regular inspection and maintenance of the ventilation hose for Atlas Copco air compressors: Check if the hose has any cracks, wear, aging or deformation. Inspect the connection points to ensure they are not loose and that the seal is good, with no air leakage. If any damage is found, it must be replaced immediately; otherwise, it will lead to poor heat dissipation, potentially triggering high-temperature alarms, reduced efficiency or even equipment failure. Installation guidelines: When replacing, follow the requirements in the equipment manual. Avoid over-bending or stretching the hose to ensure a smooth ventilation path without any obstructions.

Attention Points for Lubricant Selection of Atlas Copco's GA and GX Series Air Compressors Compatibility: Non-original lubricants may not be compatible with the equipment material or the original residual lubricants, leading to problems such as sludge formation and seal aging. It is recommended to avoid mixing them. Work Condition Adaptation: Select the appropriate type of lubricant based on the working pressure, temperature, running time, and environmental conditions of the air compressor. Regular Replacement: Even for long-lasting lubricants, it is necessary to regularly check the oil level and quality as per the manual, and replace them on time. At the same time, replace the oil filter to avoid affecting the equipment performance due to deteriorated oil quality. Model Matching: The GA series are mostly large industrial-grade air compressors, while the GX series are more inclined towards small-sized or portable ones.

List of accessories and part numbers Air filter (Air Filter): (Suitable for GXe7/GXe11/GXe15/GXe18/GXe22). Oil filter (Oil Filter): (Suitable for GXe7/GXe11/GXe15/GXe18/GXe22).

Model and Purchase Suggestions Full part number: The part number of Atlas Copco's air filters usually consists of multiple digits (such as 1621735200, etc., and C142 might be its specification abbreviation), and the specific number should be based on the equipment manual or the body identification. Purchase Channel: It is recommended to query through Atlas Copco authorized service providers or the official website, providing the complete model of the equipment (such as GA110VSD+) and the factory serial number to ensure the precise compatibility of the accessories. Maintenance Cycle: Follow the recommendations in the VSD + model manual. Generally, it is recommended to replace the filters after 1500-3000 hours (adjust according to the dust concentration in the environment), or replace them promptly when the pressure difference indicator alarms.
