For Aspen-simulated compressors, what should be used as compressor oil?

Reply #22023-05-24

When simulating compressors in Aspen, the choice of oil depends on the type of compressor and its requirements. Generally speaking, for screw compressors and centrifugal compressors, it is recommended to use high-performance oils such as synthetic gear oil or polyether oil ； For positive displacement compressors, it is recommended to use mineral oil or blended oil. However, the specific choice also needs to take into account factors such as the compressor’s design parameters, operating conditions, and refrigerant; it is best to consult the compressor manufacturer or professionals experienced in compressor maintenance. .

Does the Aspen simulation also require the selection of engine oil? What’s the point?
