Are HDAX 9300 formulated to handle gas engine lubrication for power generation application?
Gas engines play a critical role in keeping your power generation application running, however, today’s engine designs and operating conditions mean higher temperatures and loads, leading to more stress on components and lubricants, and increasing chances of costly failures.
Gas engine lubricants like HDAX® lubricants are formulated to handle the tighter equipment tolerances, extreme temperatures and dirty conditions your operation faces every day.
By helping contain nitration, oxidation acids and other deposits that target pistons, cylinders and valves and cause poor performance and even disastrous shutdowns, HDAX®oils can help keep you protected, so you can reach higher levels of efficiency and achieve the full potential of your engine.
Among these oils is HDAX® 9300, a premium performance medium ash, dispersant/detergent type gas engine oil that is formulated specifically for natural gas applications even under heavily loaded conditions, including high output engines in the 10 MWe class. The optimized ash level provides protection against valve recession, while avoiding the formation of ash deposits in the combustion chamber that could lead to pre-ignition.
Its low phosphorus additive design allows for use with catalyst systems. Formulated with premium base oils that contain extremely low sulphur, nitrogen, and aromatics, this combination of excellent base number retention and oxidation/nitration resistance allows HDAX® 9300 to deliver extended drain capability, even in applications where the oil feed rate is deliberately kept low, placing extra stresses on the lubricant. This premium oil also prevents sludge formation on cylinder liners, which could interfere with oil flow and lead to higher oil consumption.
What makes HDAX 9300 stand out is its exceptional oxidation/nitration resistance and base number retention characteristics that enable extended drain capability, even in high BMEP, steel piston engines designed to use a very low oil feed rate. Its dispersant/detergent system allied to oxidation/nitration resistance minimizes oil thickening and sludge formation, protecting against filter plugging and promoting engine cleanliness. HDAX 9300 offers outstanding piston deposit control, providing scuffing protection to the cylinder liners, and protecting against abrasive wear, ensuring long component life. This premium gas engine lubricant provides excellent valve recession control and controls the potential for pre-ignition.
Designed for the latest generation of high output, low emission four-stroke engines burning natural gas. HDAX 9300 has a medium ash level, high performance in high Brake Mean Effective Pressure engines with steel pistons (BMEP greater or equal to 22 bar) with a long drain, with the capability of delivering excellent performance in lower BMEP engines with aluminum pistons. It is also suitable for use with fuels containing low levels of sulphur, and chloro-fluoro-carbons (CFC).
