Kluber Summit TM 15

Description

1. Description and Performance of Klüber Summit TM 15

Klüber Summit TM 15 is a specialized air compressor oil developed for compressors where the use of fully synthetic oils is either undesirable or economically impractical due to limited operating hours per year. Klüber Summit TM 15 is an ISO VG 46 air compressor oil based on a hydrogenated mineral oil with additives. This oil is miscible with mineral oils and synthetic hydrocarbons. However, it is not miscible with oils based on polyglycol. The unique additive SYNTHOLATE further enhances its performance by inhibiting the formation of varnish and carbon, providing superior thermal and oxidative stability Here are the key points about this oil:

• Base Oil Component: It contains a synthetic base oil component, providing good resistance to oxidation.
• Residue Reduction: By effectively dissolving residues, it ensures a cleaner oil circuit within the compressor.
• Limited Operating Hours: Ideal for applications with restricted compressor usage throughout the year.
• Formation of Residues: It significantly reduces the formation of residues in the compressor, contributing to smoother operation.

2. Features of Klüber Summit TM 15

• Rust and Oxidation Protection: Offers improved protection against rust and oxidation compared to general or multi-purpose oils.
• Reduced Lubricant Consumption: Extended drain intervals and lower vapor pressures lead to reduced lubricant consumption.
• Maintenance Efficiency: SYNTHOLATE technology minimizes carbon and varnish formation, extending valve life and maintenance intervals.
• Elimination of Recompression: Clean valves prevent the primary cause of recompression, resulting in energy savings.
• Enhanced Safety: Higher flash points enhance safety during air compression operations.

3. Benefits of Klüber Summit TM 15

• Low Maintenance Costs: Oil change intervals of up to 3,000 operating hours in oil-injected screw-type compressors.
• Cleaner Oil Circuit: Effective residue dissolution ensures a cleaner oil system.
• Reduced Formation of Oxidation Residues: Helps maintain optimal compressor performance.
• Efficient Condensate Separation: Ensures smooth processing of condensate.

4. Specifications and Certifications

• ISO VG 46: Klüber Summit TM 15 is an ISO VG 46 air compressor oil.
• Compliance: Meets requirements according to DIN 51506-VDL and ISO 6521-1.

1. • Summit TM 15 is not readily biodegradable. Proper disposal is essential.
   • Water Contamination: Avoid spillage into water bodies. Oil-contaminated water can harm aquatic life.
   • Disposal: Dispose of used oil through authorized channels. Recycling or incineration may be suitable.

5.Healthy/Environmental Considerations, Safety Measures

1. Health Considerations:
   • Inhalation: Avoid prolonged inhalation of oil mist or vapor. Use proper ventilation when handling the oil.
   • Skin Contact: Prolonged skin contact may cause mild irritation. Wash thoroughly with soap and water if exposed.
   • Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
   • Ingestion: Accidental ingestion is unlikely due to the nature of use, but seek medical help if ingested.
2. Safety Measures:
   • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed.
   • Handling: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses.
   • Spills and Leaks: Contain spills and prevent entry into drains or waterways. Dispose of according to local regulations.
   • Fire Hazard: Klüber Summit TM 15 has a high flash point, reducing fire risk during handling.
3. Environmental Considerations:
   • Biodegradability: Klüber Summit TM 15 is not readily biodegradable. Proper disposal is essential.
   • Water Contamination: Avoid spillage into water bodies. Oil-contaminated water can harm aquatic life.
   • Disposal: Dispose of used oil through authorized channels. Recycling or incineration may be suitable.

6. Color, Size and Temperature Range

1. Color of Klüber Summit TM 15:
   • The available information does not specify the color of Klüber Summit TM 15. However, it is typically a clear oil.
   • If you have specific color requirements, I recommend checking with the manufacturer or supplier for precise details.
2. Temperature Ranges for Klüber Summit TM 15:
   • Under normal operating conditions, which include a discharge temperature of maximum 85°C, a final discharge pressure of maximum 8 bar, dry and clean intake air, and a circulation rate of the oil in the compressor less than 1.5, Klüber Summit TM 15 performs effectively.
   • For higher temperatures or specific conditions, it’s advisable to consult your contact at Klüber Lubrication for tailored recommendations
3. Sizes of Klüber Summit TM 15 per Liter:
   • The available information does not explicitly mention the exact sizes of Klüber Summit TM 15 in liters.
   • To determine the specific packaging sizes (such as liters per container), I recommend checking with authorized suppliers or referring to the product documentation.

7. Maintenance Tips

• Oil Change Intervals: Klüber Summit TM 15 allows oil change intervals of up to 3,000 operating hours in oil-injected screw-type compressors.
• Drain Old Oil: When switching a used compressor to Klüber Summit TM 15, drain the old oil from the entire circuit while it is still warm.
• Replace Filters and Separators: It is recommended to change all oil filters and separators during the switch.
• No Incompatibility Expected: Incompatibility reactions due to the changeover or mixing with previously used oil are not expected.
• Optional Cleaning: If the previously used oil was mineral oil, consider cleaning the compressor with Klüber Summit Varnasolv before changeover.
• Determine Oil Change Interval: After switching to Klüber Summit TM 15, determine the oil change interval through oil analysis or the Klüber Summit TAN Kit
