Similar to aircraft engines, aeroderivative gas turbines (ADGT) are fast-starting, compact and reliable. This makes them ideal for meeting surges in power demand, providing emergency power for critical facilities such as hospitals, and use in remote areas and offshore applications.
ADGTs operate at high temperatures. Oils that cannot cope with this heat can break down, which results in increased acidity and viscosity before the next oil-drain interval. This can lead to high maintenance costs and unscheduled replenishment of oil.
ADGTs require specialist aero-engine oils. AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 and AeroShell Ascender are MIL-PRF-23699 approved High Thermal Stability (HTS) oils that provide added thermal protection and low coking propensity, along with optimum elastomer seal compatibility.
AeroShell's products are also accredited to a range of approvals, giving you the assurance of high performance and high quality.
