Lubricating gears with synthetic OiLs
wind gearbOx technOLOgy is developing at a fast pace, not least due to operators demanding ever more power and efficiency. Experience has shown that the lubricant used is a crucial factor in meeting the wish for ever-increasing performance. Besides strictly technical requirements, aspects of economy and ecology are receiving more and more attention in lubricant selection. The technical requirem...
متن کاملViscosity Index Improver for Engine Oils: An Experimental Study
Engine oils are widely used for lubrication purposes in automobile and related industries. Viscosity Index (VI) improver has found its largest commercial applications as additives to engine oils. Examples are power steering fluid, aircraft piston engine oils, modern internal-combustion engines, turbine engine oils (stationary and aircraft), and industrial gear oils. Viscosity Index improvers ar...
متن کاملThe Re-refining of Used Lubricating Oils
Re-refined lubricants have been produced in New Zealand for over 50 years. However, their acceptance as a high quality lubricant has been a gradual process, largely because of the scepticism of the public that the product can be re-refined to its original condition. In New Zealand Dominion Oil rerefines about 7 million litres per year, while an older acid clay method is used at Turua near Thame...
متن کاملInvestigation of shear stability of commercial polymer of viscosity index improver for determination of engine oil optimal formulation
The lubricating oils in each mechanical device are affected by shear forces. Polymers in lubricating oils engine, in particular, undergo many changes because of the influence of the applied forces. Awareness of these changes can help us to design optimal formulations. In this work, shear stability of four commercial was studied. Calculation of various parameters about viscosity in the enhancing...
متن کاملHow Tropicbirds Behave at Sea
28 fledged per nest in the native habitat, but only 1.0 per nest in the wheatgrass, Lloyd and Martin reported in 2005 (Condor 107:363–374). These significantly different success rates resulted primarily from greater nest predation in the wheatgrass. The odds of a nest surviving a given day were 17 percent higher in the native-prairie patches than in the wheatgrass plots. Nestlings in the native...
