Dutch Ministry of Defence signs new four-year contract for Q8 Turbine Oil O-253
Q8Oils and the ABB division of the Dutch Ministry of Defence signed a four-year contract for the purchase of Q8 Turbine Oil O-253.
Turbine oils for the long run
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.
Q8Oils partners with NES-WES for US distribution
Q8Oils has strategically partnered with Northeast-Western Energy Systems (“NES-WES”), which is, as of now, the strategic distribution partner in the US. The mutual goal of both companies is to provide the longest lasting oil life at the most cost-effective price, significantly reducing overall lubricating oil costs.
Following the partnership with Q8Oils, NES-WES can now offer a complete comprehensive fluids package to customers which includes lube oil, gear box oil and coolant.
RPVOT stability of Q8 Volta EP
Q8 Volta EP is a high-performance gas and steam turbine oil, based on Group III base fluid. The oil was specially developed for its excellent oxidation stability and wear protection as the oil is in use.
Oxidation rating of used gas engine oils samples
Oxidation rating is one of the elements that influence oil drain interval. In this article we describe the different methods to test the oxidation rating of used gas engine oil samples.
How sealants and anti-rust fluids affect lubricant anti-wear properties
The main circulation lubricant in industrial applications comes into contact with anti-rust fluids and sealants used to prevent leakages. Q8Oils has tested and analysed how these products affect lubricant anti-wear properties.
In order to understand what could happen if the system is not properly flushed before start-up and if excessive amounts of sealant are used, Q8Research has investigated this issue.
Prevent varnishing by choosing the right turbine oil
The formation of varnish is a common problem for turbine operators. Varnish is difficult to remove and is seen as a silent machine killer that gradually deteriorates the performance of installations. The choice of the right turbine oil is the most efficient way to fight varnish formation. To understand which turbine oils can prevent varnishing, you must understand the characteristics of varnish and how it is formed.
How to avoid varnishing in turbine oils
Varnishing is a form of lubricant degradation causing the formation of undesirable deposits. In turbine systems, few failure conditions can disrupt operations as quickly and completely as a varnished control valve. It can occur in the most well-maintained machines, even when oils are not particularly old or contaminated. The Q8 van Gogh turbine oils improve the resistance against varnishing, resulting in a higher stability and extended lifetime of your turbine.
