Protect Your Investment

It is imperative that bearing surfaces are kept varnish-free in your centrifugal compressor. With this in mind, FS-Elliott offers a proprietary full synthetic centrifugal fluid, FSE-TurboCool^®.

Why Use a Full Synthetic for your Centrifugal?

It is cleaner and better performing than standard lubricants and with up to a 24,000-hour fluid life, it is truly the most cost-effective option to protect your investment.
