Compressors compress gases. Whether it is air that is required to drive tools, devices or even for breathing, or a wide variety of gases in the chemical industry, refineries or biogas plants: The gas to be compressed, the design of the compressor and the operating conditions lead to very different stresses on the lubricating oil depending on the system. Oil analyses have proven their efficiency and reliability in the monitoring of compressor systems over many years.

Technological progress has revolutionised both the world of compressors and that of lubricants. Oil analyses with the test scope and evaluation criteria of “yesterday” do not adequately take these changes into account.

This 2-day seminar will show you how oil analyses, when used correctly, are still a reliable tool for system monitoring. The large number of practical examples from various application areas guarantees a high degree of transferability of the knowledge imparted into your daily practice.

In this seminar you will learn …

  • How compressor oils work
  • Which oil types are used in which components and why
  • What are the advantages of synthetic oils and where does their use make sense
  • How professional oil monitoring works and helps them increase oil life, reliability and availability
  • How the professional handling of lubricants avoids recurring practice problems

Target Group

  • Skilled employees, managers and executives working in the field of service and maintenance
  • Technical consultants and sales personnel from oil companies
  • Technische Fach- und Führungskräfte der Kompressoren-Hersteller
