Feb. 10, 2021
Whether a shop runs multiple compressors at once or just uses a primary compressor with a back-up unit, they’ll need a coolant that works with their set up.

Automotive shops have different operating needs. Some shops run multiple compressors simultaneously for many hours a day. Others use a primary compressor with a back-up unit. Back-up compressors may have less extensive lubrication needs because they are small, aging, or used less often. To avoid overspending on lubricant, technicians must invest in a coolant that aligns with their operating needs. For example, the new Ultra 4K Lubricant from Ingersoll Rand offers up to 4,000 hours of service life at an affordable price, which is ideal for small, aging, or back-up rotary screw compressors, says the company. The Ultra 4K Lubricant is an extension of the Ultra Coolant Lubricant line and is a high-quality synthetic coolant.
