Fluid Specifications
We recommend that all Quincy Rotary Screw
Compressors be filled with compressor fluid that meets
one of the following specifkations:
SYNTHETIC FLUIDS
QUINS~
QUINSYIW F (Food Grade)
QUINS~ IV
QUINSYI@ is available from any authorized Quincy
Compressor Distributor.
Compressor Fluid level should completely fill the sight
level gauge when running. Do
not overtlll: Any
modification of the compressor fluid fill port will allow
overillling of the compressor. Operating with the
compressor overfNled will result in high compressor
fluid carryover.
Do not undertllh operating with the
sight gauge not completely filled with compressor fluid
could cause a high discharge temperature shutdown.
!CAUTION!
Do not mix different grades or types of fluid. Do
not use inferior grades of fluids. Use approved
synthetics if discharge air temperatures exceed
210 degrees F for more than three (3) hours.
Failure to follow these recommendations will
cause severe fluid breakdown, resulting in the
formation of heavy varnish and sludge
throughout the system. This will result in
clogging fluid separators, coolers and internal
fluid passages in the compressor. Warrantv will
be voided.
Compressor Fluid Filter
The fluid filter is a spin on fidl flow unit, equipped with
a remote fluid filter maintenance indicator.
Replacement of the filter requires spinning off the
complete cartridge and replacing it with a new one.
Use genuine Quincy replacement fluid filters only.
The initial filter cartridge 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 up to its operating
temperature.
●Every 2000 hours.
“Every fluid change.
Note: The indicator may read high upon starting on
cod mornings due to thick fluid creating higher than
normal dif13erentialpressures. Monitor indicator after
fluid
