Applications

N/A Power and Industrail Steam, Gas, & Combined Cycle Turbines - Shell Turbo S4 X 32 is used as the lubricating oil of choice in modern steam, gas, and combined cycle turbines. Note that some applications with highly loaded gearboxes require a lubricant with enhanced anti-wear performance - for these applications, use Shell Turbo S4 GX 32. 

Further Industrial Applications - Shell Turbo S4 X 32 may also be used for other industrial applications requiring a high performance gas turbine oil, such as the lubrication of turbo compressors.

Features and Benefits

N/A Extended Oil Life - Shell Turbo S4 X 32 delivers exceptional resistance to degradation, even under conditions of high oxidative and thermal stress. Excellent results in both the ASTM dry TOST and the TOST life test (ASTM D943) demonstrate the potential for Shell Turbo S4 G 32 to offer extended service life, reduced maintenance costs and less downtime when compared to conventional mineral oil technology.

Enhanced Equipment Protection - The greater resistance against varnish and sludge formation provided by Shell Turbo S4 X 32 allows turbine systems to operate reliably even during severe peak load operation. Minimizing the formation of sludge and bearing deposits not only reduces the wear of critical system components, but can also reduce the risk of an unplanned turbine shutdown.

Enhanced System Efficiency - Demulsibility, air release, resistance to foaming, and filter blockage are critical factors for oil in the latest geared turbine designs (especially turbines which have shorter oil residence times). Shell Turbo S4 X 32 offers excellent performance in all four areas, ensuring that optimum operating conditions are maintained.
