Q8Oils and INNIO launch high performing Jenbacher S Oil 40 for non-natural gas engines
Q8Oils and INNIO Jenbacher have today launched Jenbacher S Oil 40 gas engine oil , an innovative new lubricant for engines that operate on non-natural gas (including, but not limited to biogas, sewage gas and landfill gas).
Q8 Mahler performs excellent in Caterpillar 3500 gas engines
Q8 Mahler gas engine oil shows excellent condition monitoring results in Caterpillar 3500 engines. That is the conclusion of the analysis of more than 1.000 Q8 Mahler samples in the QRAS database.
Q8Oils and INNIO engage in long-term partnership for lubricating Jenbacher gas engines
Q8Oils has signed a long-term global partnership agreement with INNIO Jenbacher to supply lubricants for all Jenbacher gas engines that operate on non-natural gas, including biogas, sewage gas and landfill gas.
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.
The value of performance evaluation tests for gas engines
The energy market is high-demanding when it comes to the lubrication of gas engines. The performance of the oil is of the utmost importance for gas engine owners. Switching to a new oil is not common because operators fear the financial risks of an inferior oil performance. Yet relying on a professional performance evaluation test, many existing gas engines could benefit from the added value of new lubricants.
Future development for Q8 Mahler Oils
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.
Q8 Mahler oils assure top performance for Sagunto WTP gas engine
Gas engines are subjected to extreme operating conditions, speeding up the deposit formation process in the oil and thus posing high engine wear risks. The Q8 Mahler is especially developed to perform in these harsh circumstances.
Understanding the viscosity index of a lubricant
The viscosity of a lubricant has a big influence on the performance and long-life of your machinery. By selecting a lubricant with an appropriate viscosity index for your application, you can minimize downtime and maintenance costs.
How can contaminants enter lubrication systems?
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.
