Description:

Petro-Canada’s TURBOFLO™ EP is a premium turbine fluid designed for the lubrication of geared heavy duty gas turbines with common gear and bearing lubrication sysytems. Its outstanding thermal and oxidative stability also make it an excellent choice for severe service gas and steam turbine applications. It is formulated with Petro-Canada’s ultra pure HT Severely Hydrocracked base oils and highly advanced antioxidant and EP additive technology to deliver a winning combination of enhanced wear protection as well as oxidative and thermal stability.

TURBOFLO EP with its zinc free, ashless antiwear additive system delivers excellent wear and scuffing protection for heavily loaded geared turbines. At the same time, it demonstrates exceptional oxidative and thermal stability, which surpasses that of many competitive turbine lubricants on the market today. These in turn help customers to reduce overall maintenance costs and provide worryfree operation.

Features & Benefits:

• Exceptional resistance to fluid breakdown caused by exposure to air and high temperatures

• Rotating Pressure Vessel Oxidation Test (RPVOT) result of 2000+ minutes, which is higher than that of the leading competitive products tested

• Synergistic blend of antioxidants provides exceptional oxidation and deposit resistance as well as outstanding viscosity stability

• Thermally stable, low volatility additive system prolongs fluid life under the high temperature conditions common to modern heavy duty gas turbines

• Prevents formation of sludge and deposits that can lead to servo valve malfunction, filter plugging, and system corrosion

• Lowers operating costs by extending intervals between oil top-ups or complete change-outs

• Excellent air and water separability

• Low foaming characteristics prevent lubricant loss due to reservoir overflows, ensure stable operation and uninterrupted lubricating film in bearings

• Rapid air release property prevents rapid pump wear and lubricant oxidation, ensures reliable and consistent operation of governor hydraulics

• Excellent water separability allows water to be easily drained from the lubricant reservoir, minimizing corrosion and contamination of lubricant from water and steam

• Superior scuffing and wear protection

• FZG test results show superior protection against gear tooth scuffing and wear

• Superior load carrying ability protects highly loaded gears in speed reduction systems

• Lower maintenance costs and improved equipment reliability by reduced gear wear and longer component life

• Robust, highly effective additive system

• Zinc free, non-toxic, ashless EP additive chemistry

• High thermal and oxidative stability, very low volatility

• Unique, synergistic combination of primary and secondary antioxidants

• Excellent rust protection

• Superior water separability, foaming resistance, and air release properties

• Single Fluid for steam and gas turbines in both geared and non-geared applications

• Multi-application product to reduce lubricant inventory

• Prevents misapplication of lubricants

Applications:

TURBOFLO EP significantly exceeds the demanding service requirements of gas and steam turbine operators in power generation, prime mover, and other industrial applications. It is primarily recommended for geared heavy duty gas turbines that require a turbine fluid that provides wear and scuffing protection. It is also recommended for steam and gas turbine systems that do not require an EP fluid if consolidation of lubricants is a key priority.

TURBOFLO EP 46, has received ALSTOM OEM approval HTGD 90117 (Lubricating and Control Oils for Turbines).
