Yuchai 10L compressor engine

Gents

I just acquired a new high pressure chinese atlas compressor. It is driven by a chinese made 6 cyl-10 liter, 400 HP, common rail, intercooled, no DPF Yuchai engine. Of course user manual is in chinese (which I cannot read). At start up the compressor is designed to run at 1200 rpms. At full load it jumps to near 1900 rpms. It also comes with an engine preheater fueled by diesel. During spring and summer temperatures are between 15-38 Celsius. In winter time, minimums are around -5 to 0 (max around 15C).
Maybe the above it is not enough information , but I am just double checking that a good CI-4 15W-40 oil is ok.

Thanks.

How big of compressor ? 400hp, is this a joke?

Atlas Copco ? Similar temps to New Zealand, and 15W-40 is used year round in most diesel engines.

Yes how many gallons is the air tank? Wonder how many CFM this beast can produce.

I doubt it even has a tank. Sounds like a big screw compressor to me.

Yes, it is a double stage screw compressor. 1165 CFM at 350 psi.

I’m sure the machine would have ran on lesser oils than what we have here had it been in it’s country of origin. 15w40 will be fine.

What do you plan on using the compressor for? Can we see photos?

Well that should run a blow gun lol

Seriously we need pics.
I wonder if for multiple sandblasting units.
