Shell Corena S2 P 150
Shell Corena S2 P 150 is a high-quality reciprocating air compressor oil designed to deliver reliable lubrication performance in high-pressure piston compressors operating under demanding conditions. It is suitable for industrial reciprocating air compressors running at elevated pressures with air discharge temperatures of up to 220°C, where consistent protection and clean operation are critical.
Formulated to provide long oil life, Shell Corena S2 P 150 offers strong resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation. This helps extend the interval between valve and piston maintenance in suitable applications, allowing compressors to remain in service for longer periods while maintaining high operational efficiency. The oil’s ability to resist carbon deposit and lacquer formation on valves and piston crowns is particularly beneficial in high-temperature, high-pressure environments where deposit build-up can lead to reduced performance and increased maintenance costs.
Shell Corena S2 P 150 delivers outstanding wear and corrosion protection for internal metal surfaces, helping to prolong the life of critical components such as bearings and pistons. By maintaining clean and well-protected internal surfaces, the oil supports consistent compressor performance and reduces the risk of premature component failure.
Maintaining system efficiency is a key performance feature of Shell Corena S2 P 150. The lubricant helps prevent the formation of harmful deposits that can restrict airflow, increase operating temperatures and reduce compressor efficiency. In addition, it offers good water separation characteristics, allowing condensate to be drained easily and reducing the risk of corrosion caused by water contamination within the system.
Enhanced air line safety is another important benefit. In compressor discharge air lines, the combination of heat, rust particles and carbonaceous deposits can create conditions that increase the risk of fires or explosions. Shell Corena S2 P 150 is designed to minimise deposit formation, helping to reduce the likelihood of these hazardous conditions and supporting safer compressor operation.
Shell Corena S2 P 150 is suitable for a wide range of reciprocating air compressor applications and may also be used in breathing air compressors, provided appropriate downstream air-cleaning equipment is installed to ensure the air produced is fit for breathing. The oil is compatible with sealing materials commonly used in air compressor systems and meets key industry specifications including DIN 51506 VBL and ISO 6743 classifications.
