Cetus VDL
High Performance Compressor Oils
Cetus VDL is recommended for:
- Single-stage and multi-stage reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, and oil flooded screw compressors
- Air, compressed natural gas (CNG) and inert gas, single-stage and multi-stage reciprocating compressors
- Stationary, semi-portable and portable units
- Bath and circulating systems supplying rolling element bearings of all types, lightly loaded gear sets, vacuum pumps (including rotary vacuum pumps used in the dairy farming industry), machine tools (including computercontrolled units), conveyors, electric motors, and low to moderate pressure hydraulic pumps where anti-wear properties are not required
Not recommended for use in breathing air compressors.
Potential maintenance and downtime savings
VARTECH™ Technology is designed to reduce varnish formation and help limit the build-up of harmful deposits on critical components such as valves and bearings, helping to maintain compressor performance under severe operating conditions. This can support peak performance, reliability, and productivity throughout the oil's service life.
Enhanced equipment protection
Effective corrosion inhibition helps protect against rust and corrosion caused by high operating temperatures or moisture entering the system, particularly during shutdown and intermittent operation.
Operational Reliability
Oxidation resistance and thermal stability help provide long service life by resisting oil breakdown at high discharge temperatures while minimizing deposit formation.
