Preventing engine damage caused by LSPI

LSPI

The increasingly stringent emission regulations and fuel-economy demands have forced engine manufacturers to downsize engines while improving their power and torque. The downside of today’s smaller engines with higher power density is their risk to abnormal disruptive combustion, such as knocking and a new phenomenon called low speed pre-ignition (LSPI).

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.

Palub in Motion

Product Applications LUBricants, the technical support department of Q8Oils, has some important announcements to make. Not only has Joris van der List taken over from the recently retired PALUB manager Cees Sonneveldt, but also a new specialist recently joined the team in order to enhance our expert support.

The importance of emulsions for Aluminum drawing – Part 4 (final)

The aluminum wire drawing emulsion as like copper should be filtered effectively, this promotes clean running by removal of abrasive and reactive fines from the system. In aluminum emulsions it is best to use two systems, a centrifuge and also a paper filtration. A third system of a vacuum filtration could also be considered to remove the lightweight particles.

The importance of emulsions for Aluminum drawing – Part 3

The use of soluble oil emulsions for aluminium drawing is not a new application, however with newer types of additive and the performance that they provide, substantial benefits can be provided to the drawing company by using emulsions over drawing oils. Emulsions can be used for both EC and Alloys across all wire sizes from rod to super fine applications.
