Shell Turbo Oils T
High Quality Industrial Steam & Gas Turbine Oils
Shell Turbo Oils T have long been regarded as the industry standard turbine oil. Building on this reputation, Shell Turbo Oils T have been developed to offer improved performance capable of meeting the demands of the most modern non-geared steam turbine systems and light duty gas turbines. Shell Turbo Oils T are formulated from high quality hydrotreated base oils and a combination of zinc-free additives that provide excellent oxidative stability, protection against rust & corrosion, low foaming and excellent demulsibility. Applications
Shell Turbo Oils T are available in ISO grades 32, 46, 68 & 100 suited for application in the following areas: Non-geared industrial steam turbines Non-geared light duty gas turbines Water turbine lubrication Compressor applications Numerous applications where strong control over rust and oxidation is required Excellent Rust & Corrosion Protection Prevents the formation of rust and guards against onset of corrosion ensuring protection for equipment following exposure to humidity or water during operation and during shut-downs, minimising maintenance.
Exceeding OEM Specifications
The performance of new Shell Turbo Oils T meets or exceeds a number of major steam and gas turbine manufacturer lubricant specifications including: General Electric GEK 28143A, 46506D Siemens - Westinghouse 21T0591 & PD55125Z3 DIN 51515 part 1 & 2 ISO 8068 Solar ES 9-224, Revision W GEC Alstom NBA P50001 JIS K2213 Type 2 BS 489-1999 ASTM D4304, Type I Siemens/Mannesmann Demag 800037 98 Approved by OEM against: Siemens Power Generation TLV 9013 04 Alstom Power Turbo-Systems HTGD 90117 Man Turbo SP 079984 D0000 E99
Features and Benefits
Strong Control of Oxidation The use of inherently oxidatively stable base oils together with an effective inhibitor package provides high resistance to oxidative degradation. The result is extended oil life, minimising the formation of aggressive corrosive acids, deposits and sludge, reducing your operating costs. High Resistance to Foaming and Rapid Air Release The oils are formulated with a non-silicone anti-foam additive, which generally controls foam formation. This feature coupled with fast air-release from the lubricant reduces the possibility of problems such as pump cavitation, excessive wear and premature oil oxidation, giving you increased system reliability. Positive Water-shedding properties Robust demulsibility control such that excess water, common-place in steam turbines, can be drained easily from the lubrication system, minimising corrosion and premature wear. Lowering the risk of unplanned maintenance.
Health & Safety
New Shell Turbo Oils T are unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application, and good standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained.
