Applications

Applications

 N/A Shell Turbo Oil T 68 is Suited for Application in the Following Areas:
  • Industrial steam turbines & light duty gas turbines requiring no enhanced anti-wear performance for the gearbox.
  • Hydroelectric turbine lubrication
  • Numerous applications where strong control over rust and oxidation is required.
  • Centrifugal and axial, dynamic turbo-compressors and pumps where an R&O type or turbine oil recommended.

Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

 N/A 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, minimizing 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 an 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, minimizing corrosion and premature wear, lowering the risk of unplanned maintenance.

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, minimizing maintenance.
