The major challenges for gas and steam turbine oils is viscosity, oxidation and thermal stability. The Q8 Volta high performance turbine oils are based on Group III base fluids, delivering excellent wear protection and oxidation stability. These products have received an impressive list of OEM approvals and are first choice for many gas and steam turbines owners.
Until the early 1980s there was no requirement for a group of lubricating oils specifically formulated for gas engines, despite the first commercially viable gas engine having been developed and sold in 1860. A lot has changed since then, and with the Q8 Mahler range, Q8Oils is ready for the future.
If you’re stopping or scaling down production during the coronavirus crisis, here are some tips on how to manage your metalworking fluids and protect your machinery to make sure that you’re ready to restart quickly and trouble free.
Avoiding oil contamination is crucial for the performance and long-life of your machine. Preventing contaminants from entering the fluid system is an impart part of any contamination control strategy. This article explains the three most common ways contaminants can enter your fluid system.
In the stationary gas engine industry there are many ‘urban legends’ and ‘rules of thumb’ about lubricants.
Nitration is an undesirable degradation of engine oil that occurs in a reduced oxygen environment. It causes deposit forming and can eventually result in reduced engine performance and damaged engine parts. Discover how to detect, avoid and solve nitration in your gas engine.
Where the refrigerant is essential for the cooling properties of a refrigeration system, the refrigeration oil is crucial for the correct functioning of the compressor. Lubricants for refrigeration compressors reduce friction, prevent wear and act as a seal between the high and low pressure sides. But how do you select the best refrigeration oil?
Q8Oils will present their new high ash gas engine oil during the international UNITI Mineral Oil Technology Congress. The new Q8 Mahler GR8 offers major improvements in engine cleanliness as well as drain interval. It challenges the guideline of low ash gas engine oils and reduces operational costs of stationary gas engines.
Getting the most from your metalworking fluid is all about choosing the correct equipment. Using the right equipment makes it possible for you to enhance the life of your fluid, improve its longevity and prevent problems in the future. So, what equipment should you use?
