Gas engine lubricants for power generation applications

- HDAX 9200 Low Ash -

Gas engines are critical to keeping your operation running. Yet today’s engine designs and operating conditions mean higher temperatures and loads, more stress on components and lubricants, as well as more potential for costly failures.

 

HDAX 9200 Low Ash Gas Engine Oil SAE 40 is a premium performance low-ash, dispersancy and detergency type gas engine lubricant, offering robust component protection even under heavy loads, and is designed for use in natural gas applications.

HDAX 9200 Low Ash Gas Engine Oil SAE 40 is formulated with a premium base oil, offering extremely low sulphur, nitrogen and aromatic content, in combination with ashless dispersant and oxidation inhibitors, with a metallic detergent and anti-wear additive system. HDAX 9200 Low Ash Gas Engine Oil SAE 40 offers reliable corrosion resistance and good combustion chamber deposit protection. Good piston deposit control helps minimise ring sticking. HDAX 9200 Low Ash Gas Engine Oil SAE 40 oxidation and nitration resistance performance is designed to minimise viscosity increases in service.

HDAX lubricants are formulated to handle the tighter equipment tolerances, extreme temperatures and dirty conditions your operation faces every day. They help you control nitration, oxidation, acids and other deposits that attack pistons, cylinders and valves causing poor performance and even catastrophic shutdowns.

HDAX oils help keep you protected, so you can reach higher levels of efficiency and achieve the full potential of your engine.

HDAX 9200 offers extended drain in very low oil feed rate engines since is designed for sludge, wear and corrosion resistance, helps minimize valve recession. It is formulated for optimum engine cleanliness and designed to resist sludge and filter plugging being suitable for use with most catalyst systems.

Some of the benefits:

  • Oxidation and nitration resistance with base number retention offer extended drain in engines designed with very low oil feed rate
  • Combustion chamber and piston deposit control, increased liner protection, sludge, wear and corrosion resistance help reduce downtime
  • Helps minimise valve recession, combustion chamber deposits and ash build up, helping minimise the potential for pre-ignition
  • Dispersant/detergent system and oxidation/nitration resistance helps minimise oil thickening and promotes engine cleanliness
  • Designed to resist sludge formation, filter plugging and cylinder liner honing pattern glazing, helping optimise oil flow and consumption
  • Low phosphorus additive system suitable for use with most catalyst systems.
