Product Information
Full details
The Morris Lubricants AIRFORCE 2000 ISO VG 150 is a specialized lubricant designed for rotary vane compressors, particularly Hydrovane units, aiming to extend compressor life and ensure trouble-free operation. Its key benefit is exceptional anti-wear performance and minimal oil carryover. A caveat is that its 2000-hour service life is dependent on maintaining specific temperature limits (bulk oil under 90°C, ambient under 35°C). This fluid offers enhanced water separation, corrosion inhibition, and compatibility with downstream equipment, making it suitable for continuous or stop-start industrial applications.

FAQs
What is the primary application for AIRFORCE 2000 ISO VG 150?
It is primarily designed for Hydrovane compressors and other similar rotary vane compressors that require an ISO VG 150 viscosity fluid. It can also be used in reciprocating compressors under higher ambient temperatures.
What is the expected service life of this oil?
The designed service life is 2000 hours, provided the bulk oil temperature does not exceed 90°C and the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 35°C.
What happens if the operating temperature exceeds the recommended limits?
If either the bulk oil temperature exceeds 90°C or the ambient temperature exceeds 35°C, more frequent oil changes will be required to maintain compressor protection and performance.
Does this oil offer protection against wear?
Yes, it features exceptional anti-wear performance designed to ensure long compressor life.
Is this oil suitable for all types of compressors?
It is specifically formulated for rotary vane compressors and recommended for certain reciprocating compressors. Always consult your compressor manufacturer's manual for compatibility.
How does this oil handle water contamination?
It has enhanced water separating properties, which helps to prevent water from emulsifying with the oil and causing damage.
What are the performance level standards it meets?
It meets DIN 51506 VBL, ISO 6743-3 DAH (68) DAA (150), and the requirements of Hydrovane DTP -1 standard.
Troubleshooting
Increased oil consumption or carryover
Check operating temperatures; if exceeding limits, service life may be reduced and carryover increased. Inspect separator elements for wear or blockage.
Reduced compressor efficiency
Verify correct oil viscosity is being used. Ensure oil levels are appropriate and check for potential air leaks or system blockages.
Corrosion or wear observed during maintenance
Confirm the oil has not been contaminated and that the correct type of lubricant is in use. Check operating temperatures and ensure they are within recommended ranges.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides exceptional anti-wear protection for increased compressor lifespan.
- Minimizes oil carryover, enhancing the life of separator components.
- Offers robust corrosion inhibition for system protection.
- Features excellent water separating properties to prevent fluid contamination.
- Maintains performance for a 2000-hour service interval under ideal conditions.
Cons
- Service life is reduced if operating temperatures exceed recommended limits.
- Primarily formulated for vane compressors, may not be suitable for all compressor types.
- Requires monitoring of operating temperatures to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the compressor system is clean and free from old lubricant or contaminants before filling. Use the recommended fill level as per your compressor manufacturer's guidelines.
Compatibility: This oil is specifically recommended for Hydrovane compressors and other similar rotary vane compressors where an ISO VG 150 viscosity is specified. It is also suitable for reciprocating compressors operating at higher ambient temperatures. Always consult your compressor manufacturer's manual for specific fluid recommendations.
Care: To achieve the maximum 2000-hour service life, it is crucial to monitor the bulk oil temperature and keep it below 90°C, and the ambient temperature below 35°C. Regular visual checks for oil condition and level are recommended. If operating conditions are harsher than recommended, reduce the oil change interval accordingly and consider more frequent oil analysis.
