Wärtsilä approved Q8 Mahler G5 SAE 40 gas engine oil for the use in several Wärtsilä engine types, with natural gas as main fuel. The approval is the result of an 8.411-hour validation test at the Rofeica Energia power plant located in Spain.
Enlit Europe in Milan, Italy, from 30 November to 2 December 2021. Visit us at booth 16.B16!
For more than 30 years Q8Oils has been performing research to answer the typical challenges of gas engine oils. The result is a range of products that prolong the drain interval and engine cleanliness and to increase the life span of cylinder heads, specifically the valves and the vale seats.
INNIO Jenbacher approved Q8 Mahler GR8 as the first high performance 0.8% S-Ash gas engine oil for the use in INNIO Jenbacher 9-series gas engines. The approval is the result of a series of field trials and in-house tests.
Primato grows tomatoes on a total surface of 125.000 m2. For the powering and heating of their greenhouses, they use a combined heat and power (CHP) installation, driven by INNIO Jenbacher 624 engines. The newly developed Q8 Mahler GR8 was successfully tested in this challenging application and resulted in longer drain intervals, higher efficiency and cleaner engine parts.
Engine applications with landfill gasses are the biggest challenge for every oil manufacturer. The specific conditions of these engines push the desired quality and performance of oils to the limits.
