Why Partner With CPI?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n


Since 1971 CPI Fluid Engineering has focused on providing innovative technology in the synthetic compressor lubricant industry. Selecting the proper lubricant supplier<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is a crucial decision for the entire value chain of OEMs, packagers, channel partners such as distributors, and end users. We take a holistic approach to partnering with our customers. Other competitors offer parts of the overall solution, but fall short of providing comprehensive solutions. They manufacture lubricants for some applications but not all, while some offer oil testing services and others do not.\u00a0 Most of them follow trends in new lubricant technology, instead of leading the way in developing new blends to meet changing market demands. CPI offers a complete solution to compressor lubricant needs while continuing to lead the way with innovative technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CPI Advantage™ is not just a concept to us \u2013 it is the way we conduct all aspects of our organization. It encompasses the entire experience we give to our customers through a partnership model unmatched in the industry. The process begins by consulting our customers on their unique application demands. We understand that compressors vary depending on the specific application they are designed for \u2013 air, refrigeration and industrial systems differ in many ways and require special consideration. Our process is designed to produce a lubricant engineered to achieve the best possible results with respect to performance, efficiency and environmental concern.<\/p>\n

    The CPI Advantage™<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n


    Each stage of the customer relationship is important in achieving the best possible outcomes. Here are the key elements of each stage in the process:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Application Research<\/strong><\/span> – The compressor industry is not immune to changing operating system specifications, power requirements, operating efficiency, and more environmentally-friendly products. The demands from end users, regulatory agencies and others require a proactive approach to staying ahead of trends and potential market changes. CPI is dedicated to remaining a leader in developing new lubricant solutions for the ever-changing compressor industry.<\/li>\n
    • Product Innovation<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 CPI consults each customer regarding their current and\/or future lubricant needs. Each application requires that certain specifications be met to maintain the operation & efficiency of the compressor system.\u00a0 Samples are tested & analyzed by our team of R&D engineers to determine the properties of the fluid. The data is used to determine the proper lubricant required to achieve the necessary performance outcomes desired by our customers for their applications.<\/li>\n
    • Initial Property Testing<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 Physical properties of the lubricant are verified by base tests including viscosity, pour point and flash point \u2013 among others. These initial tests are the first steps in confirming the lubricant meets the needs of the application for our customer.<\/li>\n
    • Advanced Testing<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 Once the basic physical properties are determined, CPI conducts more advanced testing such as PVT, ASHRAE 97, Miscibility, Falex, and Four-Ball wear tests. The resulting data provides a more advanced fluid profile to identify diluted viscosity, compatibility, wear, and other important characteristics. These are crucial next steps to determining the performance of the lubricant in the intended compressor system.<\/li>\n
    • Compressor Lab Testing<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 CPI’s new state-of-the-art compressor lab is set up to run testing on multiple compressor types. Standard testing times of 500 hours and 1,000 hours \u2013 in addition to other time variants \u2013 help to determine how the lubricant works within various operating conditions & modes. These results create confidence in CPI\u2019s process & help reduce lead time to get a properly formulated product to our customer.<\/li>\n
    • Sales & Support<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 CPI has dedicated sales professionals to consult across the spectrum of air, refrigeration & industrial compressor market segments. We have strategic globally-positioned sales offices, manufacturing facilities and laboratories to support our customers throughout the entire process.\u00a0 Our experience in chemical manufacturing & sales over the past 45+ years positions us as ideal partners to OEMs, packagers, distributors and end users of our lubricant products.<\/li>\n
    • Oil Analysis Services<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 Analyzing the performance of fluids within an operating system is key to maximizing oil life for the compressor. By monitoring and testing the oil, systems experience less downtime and reduced costs to operate.\u00a0 Our oil analysis services ensure our customers\u2019 fluids are working well within the system. The results of the analysis can proactively identify degradation of the oil lubricant, and the system as a whole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
