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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In the stationary gas engine industry there are many ‘urban legends’ and ‘rules of thumb’ about lubricants.
Nitration is an undesirable degradation of engine oil that occurs in a reduced oxygen environment. It causes deposit forming and can eventually result in reduced engine performance and damaged engine parts. Discover how to detect, avoid and solve nitration in your gas engine.
Where the refrigerant is essential for the cooling properties of a refrigeration system, the refrigeration oil is crucial for the correct functioning of the compressor. Lubricants for refrigeration compressors reduce friction, prevent wear and act as a seal between the high and low pressure sides. But how do you select the best refrigeration oil?
