在嚴苛的船舶作業(yè)環(huán)境中，氣體壓縮機作為保障貨物裝卸、燃料氣供應及航行安全的關鍵設備，其運行狀況至關重要。然而，操作人員和技術主管始終面臨多重挑戰(zhàn)：烴類氣體導致的油液稀釋、粘度損耗、油泥與漆膜的形成，以及含鹽空氣造成的持續(xù)腐蝕威脅。

這些問題絕非小事。當烴類氣體溶解于潤滑油時，會導致油液稀釋，降低粘度和保護性能，往往加劇磨損甚至引發(fā)軸承故障。粘度損耗和熱降解可能導致高負荷或高溫運行時潤滑不足。氧化和污染形成的油泥與漆膜會堵塞濾網、縮窄油道，造成非計劃停機和高昂的維護成本。與此同時，海洋環(huán)境的高濕度和高鹽分會加速腐蝕進程，威脅到壓縮機部件的使用壽命，并增加非計劃停機的風險。

標準潤滑油往往難以勝任，其性能迅速降低導致磨損、油泥、腐蝕及油液殘留等問題，不僅影響設備可靠性，更增加維護成本。而特種潤滑油——尤其是合成潤滑油——經過特殊設計，能有效抵御氣體吸收、氧化及沉積物形成，從而確保設備安全可靠運行。

Klüber Summit PGS及NGL-系列壓縮機油專為解決這些問題而設計。該系列產品是基于聚醚與特殊添加劑的潤滑油，在嚴苛工況下仍能展現(xiàn)卓越的抗稀釋性和抗氧化性，持續(xù)保持最佳粘度并有效防止磨損。這意味著更長的換油周期、更低的維護頻率以及更低的總體擁有成本。

經領先OEM廠商認證，Klüber Summit PGS & NGL系列產品確保符合保修要求，并能無縫融入現(xiàn)有維護體系。該系列產品在活塞式、螺桿式及旋葉式壓縮機中展現(xiàn)卓越水分分離性能、極低沉積物形成率，為操作人員帶來顯著效益。

憑借技術支持、油品分析方案以及威爾森船舶服務公司無與倫比的全球供應網絡，Klüber Summit PGS 及 NGL系列產品助力船舶運營商最大化設備運行效率，降低運營風險，實現(xiàn)可持續(xù)且符合規(guī)范的海上性能表現(xiàn)。

Why do marine Gas Compressors need specialized lubricants

In the demanding world of marine operations, gas compressors are mission-critical, powering cargo handling, fuel gas supply, and safety. Yet, operators and technical superintendents face persistent challenges: oil dilution from hydrocarbon gases, viscosity loss, sludge and varnish formation, and the ever-present threat of corrosion from salt-laden air.

These challenges are far from trivial. Oil dilution occurs when hydrocarbon gases dissolve into the lubricant, reducing its viscosity and protective qualities often leading to increased wear and even bearing failure. Viscosity loss and thermal breakdown can result in inadequate lubrication during high-load or high-temperature operation. Sludge and varnish, formed by oxidation and contamination, can block filters and narrow oil passages, causing unplanned shutdowns and costly maintenance. Meanwhile, the marine environment’s high humidity and salt content accelerate corrosion, threatening the longevity of compressor components and increasing the risk of unplanned downtime.

Standard lubricants often fall short, compromising reliability and increasing maintenance costs as they degrade quickly, causing wear, sludge, corrosion, and oil carryover. Speciality lubricants, especially synthetics, are engineered to resist gas absorption, oxidation, and deposit formation, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

Klüber Summit PGS & NGL-series compressor oils are engineered to solve these issues. Formulated with advanced polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oils and a robust additive package, both the PGS & NGL-series deliver outstanding resistance to gas dilution and oxidation, maintaining optimal viscosity and protecting against wear, even under severe operating conditions. This means longer oil drain intervals, reduced maintenance frequency, and lower total cost of ownership.

Approved by leading OEMs, Klüber Summit PGS & NGL-series ensure warranty compliance and seamless integration into existing maintenance regimes. Operators benefit from superior water separation, minimal deposit formation, and proven performance in piston, screw-type and rotary vane compressors.

Backed by technical support, oil analysis programmes, and Wilhelmsen Ships Services’ unparallel global supply network, Klüber Summit PGS & NGL-series empowers marine operators to maximise uptime, reduce operational risk, and achieve sustainable, compliant performance at sea.
