Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lubricating oil technology, and specifically relates to a lubricating oil composition for a rotary air compressor. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary air compressors are small in size, lightweight, compact in structure, have few parts, are easy to maintain, and offer good cooling, high efficiency, and stable gas delivery. Therefore, they are widely used in the compressor equipment field, especially in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and mining, where their market share is showing a significant upward trend. To further improve the working efficiency of rotary air compressors, reduce maintenance costs, and expand their application range, in recent years, rotary air compressors have been rapidly developing towards simplification, compactness, and lightweighting. At the same time, the conditions for equipment pressure, temperature, stage pressure ratio, and discharge volume are constantly increasing, making the operating conditions more demanding. Correspondingly, the requirements for the service life, rust prevention, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and wear resistance of rotary air compressor lubricating oil are also becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] While current rotary air compressor lubricants can improve various properties (e.g., rust prevention, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, wear resistance, demulsification, and anti-foaming) to some extent, the degree of improvement remains limited. This leaves room for further improvement, particularly in rust prevention and corrosion resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rotary air compressor lubricant composition that offers superior rust prevention, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, wear resistance, demulsification, and anti-foaming properties. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rotary air compressor lubricating oil composition that has excellent rust prevention, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, wear resistance, demulsification resistance and foaming resistance, and can meet the lubrication requirements of rotary air compressors under harsh operating conditions.

[0008] The structure of ionic liquids is as follows:

[0009]

[0010] Where n is a positive integer between 5 and 7.

[0011] The rust inhibitor is at least one of the following: calcium dinonylnaphthalenesulfonate, dodecenyl succinic acid, isononylphenoxyacetic acid, dodecenyl succinic acid half ester, dodecenyl succinic acid monoester, and sorbitol monooleate.
