Caterpillar Energy Solutions approved Q8 Mahler GR8 as gas engine oil for the use in MWM TCG and Caterpillar CG gas engines with increased pollutant concentration.
TEDOM approved Q8 Mahler GR as gas engine oil for the use in natural gas- and biogas engines. The approval was the outcome of two field tests in Italy, showing excellent results on oil stability.
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.
Q8Oils has succeeded to eliminate the undesired side effects of gas engine oils with a high sulphated ash content. The Q8 Mahler G8 gas engine oil combines a 0,8 % sulphated ash content with a low deposit tendency, keeping engine parts clean.
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.
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.
There is an increasing number of high efficiency engines on the market. Gas engines in particular are used in a wide variety of applications such as CHP (Combined Heat and Power), in greenhouses or PowerGen applications to meet fluctuations in local electricity demand. Gas engine systems make use of a broad range of gaseous fuels as fuel gas.
The number of high efficiency engines on the market is increasing every year. These innovative systems are setting challenging requirements for oil manufacturers. Especially gas engines are subjected to extreme operating conditions and call for advanced lubricants with an outstanding oxidation stability and a low ash deposit tendency. The Q8 Mahler has proved to fit the bill for many gas engine owners.
Micro-organisms can be defined as living organisms which can only be seen by the use of a microscope. The Microbial world is extremely diverse and consists of single and multi-celled organisms. Of most interest in metalworking fluids are bacteria and fungi.
