Addendum - Compressor Fluids
The fluid serves three functions: It lubricates the
bearings and rotors, it removes heat from the air as it is
being compressed thus lowering the compressed air
discharge temperature and it seals the rotor clearances.
Fluid Specifications
We recommend that all Quincy rotary screw compressors
be filled with one of the following synthetic fluids:
QuinSyn
QuinSyn F
QuinSyn IV
QuinSyn PG
QuinSyn XP
- PAO fluid.
- Food grade applications.
- 4000 hour alternative fluid.
- Standard fill. (Replaces QuinSyn)
- Standard fill for high pressure
applications. ( Replaces QuinSyn HP)
Each unit is factory filled with one of the synthetic fluid
listed in Fluid Specifications. Mineral oil can be
requested and used in specific applications. The use of
other brands or types of fluid may reduce the design life
of the compressor or cause problems with filtration or
carryover. Consult the Quincy Service Department
before changing brands of fluid.
Fluid Level
The compressor is filled at the factory with the correct
amount of fluid. A fluid tag is provided with the
information concerning the initial fill of fluid. Fluid level
is monitored by a sightglass or a dial gauge while in
operation. Fluid level should be in the “run” area on the
dial gauge or completely fill the sight gauge. DO NOT
OVER FILL.
All of the above fluids are available from any authorized
Quincy distributor.
!
CAUTION
Do not mix different grades or types of fluid. Do
not use inferior grades of fluids.
Failure to follow the above recommendations will
adversely affect your warranty.
Lubrication
Most models are equipped with a positive displacement
fluid pump mounted to the compressor and directly
driven by one of the rotors. Fluid is circulated through
the cooler, fluid filter, and into the compressor.
In the compressor, fluid is diverted through internal
passages to ensure positive lubrication of the bearings and
shaft seal. The remainder of the fluid is injected at the
beginning stage of the compression cycle to seal
clearances and to cool and lubricate the rotors. Models
not equipped with a fluid pump use pressure differential
to circulate the fluid. Positive pressure maintained in the
reservoir forces the fluid throughout the machine.
2
Figure 1-1. Fluid Level Sight Gauges
Each unit comes equipped with a fluid level sight gauge,
fluid fill opening, and a fluid drain located in the
reservoir. The fill plug is drilled to allow some pressure
to escape before the plug is completely removed. Should
you hear pressurized air venting through this hole,
immediately screw the plug back into the reservoir.
Relieve the pressure in the machine before proceeding.
!
WARNING
Hot fluid under pressure could cause death or
serious injury. Do not remove the fluid fill plug
and attempt to add fluid to the air/fluid reservoir
while the compressor is in operation or when the
system is under pressure. Be sure that the
compressor’s red mushroom stop button is
pushed in and locked, and that the main power
disconnect switch is in the off position and locked
out to assure that the compressor will not start
automatically or by accident.
QUINCY COMPRESSOR
Addendum - Compressor Fluids
Fluid Sample Valve
Some models are equipped with a fluid sample valve
located at the discharge of the fluid filter.
NOTE
The fluid filter maintenance indicator may read
high upon start up on cool mornings due to
sluggish fluid creating higher than normal
differential pressures. Monitor indicator after the
fluid warms up.
Factors that can affect Fluid Life
Figure 1-2. Fluid Sample Valve
Fluid samples should be taken from the sample valve
while the compressor is running at normal operating
temperature.
Fluid Filter
The fluid filter is a spin on, full flow unit. Replacement
of the filter requires spinning off the complete cartridge
and replacing it with a new one.
Figure 1-3. Spin-on Fluid Filter
USE GENUINE QUINCY REPLACEMENT FILTERS
ONLY.
The initial filter change should occur after the first 500
hours of operation. During normal service, the filter
cartridge should be replaced under the following
conditions, whichever occurs first:
• As indicated by the fluid filter maintenance indicator
when the fluid is at normal operating temperature.
• Every 1,000 hours.
• Every fluid change.
To protect your investment, check for the following,
which can affect the long life of QuinSyn:
I. High operating temperatures
II. Contaminants:
A. Other fluids
B. Strong Oxidizers:
1. acids
2. chlorine
3. burnt fuel
a. exhaust from forklift
b. boilers
c. jet aircraft
4. nitrogen oxides
5. ozone
6. welding fumes
7. plastic molding fumes
C. Ammonia
D. Solvent fumes
a. chlorinated degreasers
b. ink solvents
E. Airborne dust and particles
F. Paper digester fumes
Locate your compressor in the coolest area possible. A
good rule to follow is that for every 18°F above 195°F,
the operating life of any fluid is reduced to half that at
195°F. Some mineral oils begin to form varnish at
temperatures above 200°F. QuinSyn fluids are more
forgiving than mineral oil at high temperatures. QuinSyn
XP is designed to operate at sustained temperatures above
200°F. The life of other QuinSyn fluids will be shortened
at high temperatures.
Air intake should be located in an area that provides
contaminant-free, cool air. A Quincy heavy-duty intake
filter will reduce the risk of abrasion and increased wear.
Remember an air filter does not eliminate reactive gases.
Inspect your filter monthly and replace as required.

QuinSyn PG
Effective on orders entered on June 1, 2000 and later,
Quincy’s factory fill fluid changed from QuinSyn to
QuinSyn PG. Orders placed prior to June 1, 2000
shipped with QuinSyn.
QuinSyn PG is a custom blended polyalklene glycol/ester
(PAG). QuinSyn PG is an ISO 46 viscosity fluid with an
8,000 hour life under normal operating conditions (exact
fluid life is determined by the fluid sampling program)
and is our chosen fluid for our new five-year airend
warranty effective June 1, 2000 (see Blue Alert #566).
Under extended warranty conditions QuinSyn PG fluid
life is rated at 8,000 hours or one year, whichever occurs
first.
Because this fluid is different from QuinSyn, different
methods will be employed to evaluate the fluid in our
sampling program. We are concerned mostly with
managing the total acid number (TAN) and barium levels
with this fluid. QuinSyn PG will not be condemned on
water percentage nor antioxidants but will be condemned
on low barium and high TAN values. The barium in the
fluid acts as a corrosion inhibitor, therefore we have set
low limits for this additive (see page 14 for limits).
To maintain warranty compliance, fluid samples must be
sent to Quincy Compressor Fluid Analysis a minimum of
every 2,000 hours.
Applications
Biodegradability
Tests are now being conducted on the biodegradability of
QuinSyn PG. We expect this fluid to pass these tests as
other polyalklene/ester fluids have passed. QuinSyn PG
is considered nonhazardous waste. Disposal of this fluid
should be done in accordance with Local, State, and
Federal regulations. Separation of this fluid from
condensate will require those separators designed to
handle fluid emulsions. The QIOWA fluid/water
separator is suitable for separation of fluid emulsions
such as QuinSyn PG. Please contact Quincy Service
Department for more details.
Fluid Analysis Program
QuinSyn PG, with its ability to hold water, is our
recommended fluid in high humidity applications.
QuinSyn PG is best suited for applications where high
humidity exists and where the customer cannot shut the
machine down to drain off water from the fluid reservoir.
Typical Properties of QuinSyn PG
Viscosity @ 100°F ASTM D445
Viscosity @ 210°F ASTM D445
Viscosity Index ASTM D2270
Specific Gravity 60/60
Flash Point ASTM D92
Fire Point ASTM D92
QuinSyn PG is included in our fluid analysis program and
requires a sample to be returned for analysis every 2,000
hours (see sampling procedures on page 11). The fluid
sampling has been extended to 2,000 hours because of the
superior quality and forgiving nature of this fluid. The
new five-year extended warranty with QuinSyn PG
requires 2,000 hour sampling as a condition of
maintaining the warranty.

QuinSyn XP
Effective on orders entered on June 1, 2000 and later,
Quincy Compressor began offering our new long life
synthetic fluid, QuinSyn XP. QuinSyn XP is the new
factory fill for high pressure units (defined as units over
125 psig full flow). QuinSyn XP replaces QuinSyn HP as
our high pressure fluid and is totally compatible with
QuinSyn HP (the fluids can be mixed together with
absolutely no problems). Aftermarket pail and drum
orders for QuinSyn HP will be filled with QuinSyn XP.
QuinSyn XP is a custom blended polyolester (POE)
ideally suited for rotary screw air compressors.
QuinSyn XP is an ISO 68 viscosity fluid with a 12,000
hour life at 100 & 125 psig full flow under normal
operating conditions and 8,000 hours as a high pressure
fluid (exact fluid life is determined by the fluid sampling
program). QuinSyn XP is the only fluid used in
conjunction with our newly announced ten-year airend
warranty (see Blue Alert #566).
Disposal
QuinSyn XP is considered nonhazardous waste. Disposal
of this fluid should be done in accordance with Local,
State, and Federal regulations. Should condensate need
to be treated, Quincy’s QIOWA fluid/water separators are
required.
Fluid Analysis Program
QuinSyn XP fluid is included in our fluid analysis
program. This fluid will be analyzed more like QuinSyn
although we are mostly concerned with the total acid
number (TAN). Therefore, the supplemental “on site”
TAN kits will be applicable to this fluid as well as
QuinSyn PG.
To maintain extended warranty compliance, fluid samples
of QuinSyn XP must be sent to Quincy Compressor Fluid
Analysis a minimum of every 2,000 hours.
Applications
QuinSyn XP is designed for applications where the fluid
is exposed to elevated temperatures for extended periods
of time. Fluid thermostat temperature settings can be
elevated to assist in reducing water content in the fluid in
high humidity applications. Please consult Quincy
Service Department for any thermostat changes.

Fluid Analysis Program - General
QuinSyn Flush
Quincy’s fluid analysis program provides you with the
optimum drain intervals for your compressor operating on
QuinSyn Fluids. Monitoring of the total acid number
(TAN), barium level and/or viscosity throughout the life
of the fluid provides maximum protection to your
machine, while best utilizing the extended life features of
QuinSyn. A detailed report is furnished to you upon
completion of the fluid analysis. Fluid analysis frequency
can be reduced once the drain interval for a given
application is established unless operating conditions
change. This service is offered by Quincy to all
customers using QuinSyn fluids in Quincy Compressor
Rotary Screw Compressors.
QuinSyn Flush is a specially formulated synthetic fluid
capable of dissolving varnish and solubilizing sludge
from lubricating systems while they are operating.
QuinSyn Flush contains oxidation and rust inhibitors, and
can be used as a short-term fluid (for a maximum of 500
hours). It is fully compatible with mineral oils and
QuinSyn synthetic fluids, and is highly recommended for
use as a flushing fluid when changing over to QuinSyn or
QuinSyn PG.
A fluid analysis provides historical information, detailing
items such as hours on the fluid, viscosity and total acid
number (TAN). Should results appear unusual or
suspicious, a detailed analysis can pinpoint specific
contaminants. A copy of the report is furnished to you,
your Quincy Distributor and the Quincy Compressor
factory.
To properly monitor fluid life, a good analytical program
is extremely important. Although QuinSyn fluids are
rated by hours of life expectancy under normal operating
conditions, until a history of performance in a specific
compressor application is established, it is recommended
that fluid samples be taken every 500 to 2000 hours and
sent to Quincy Compressor Fluid Analysis. The depletion
of antioxidants, change of viscosity, barium and acid
levels all occur with time. It is extremely important to
change QuinSyn before the antioxidants are completely
depleted. If the fluid is left in the compressor beyond its
useful life, removal of all the spent fluid is difficult. The
oxidation products remaining can considerably shorten
the life of the new fill of QuinSyn fluid.
Applications
Cleaning fluid for removal of varnish, dirt and oxidized
fluid from compressor fluid systems.
Flushing fluid when changing from other fluids to
QuinSyn or QuinSyn PG.

Addendum - Compressor Fluids
Converting to QuinSyn
Normal Machines
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
evaluation of your compressor.
