Advanced compressor lubricant for brake systems
Anderol® 3057M stands at the forefront of compressor lubricant technology, meticulously designed for the demanding environments of railway brake systems. This PAO/ester-based lubricant offers unparalleled performance in screw compressors that supply compressed air to activate critical onboard systems as braking systems and auxiliary systems such as door actuation, pantographs, sanders, windscreen wipers, and more.
The demanding environment and requirements
Railway compressors operate under highly demanding conditions from -40 °C to +50 °C, with frequent humidity and temperature changes between tunnels and open air. They endure dust, sand, salty sea air, and industrial pollutants, posing reliability challenges to the system. Additionally, compressors are typically mounted on the carbody, where they are exposed to constant shocks and vibrations. Designed for minimal maintenance, components like oil and filters are expected to last many years, matching the vehicle’s main overhaul cycle.
Key features and benefits
- Extended maintenance intervals: minimal oil changes required.
- High humidity performance: excels in humid environments, maintaining consistent lubrication efficacy.
- Superior oxidation resistance: minimizes compressor varnish and deposits, ensuring sustained performance over the lubricant’s lifecycle.
- Enhanced safety: significantly lowers the risk of fire and explosion.
- Extended service life equipment: compressor components are protected against wear and tear.
- Reduces operating temperature: contributing to overall system efficiency and reliability.
