While some companies focus on individual elements of a hydraulic system when designing their lubricants, Shell Lubricants has used sophisticated fluid mechanics modeling to understand the different sources of energy loss in the system as a whole,
This information has then been used to help to develop a fluid with a balance of physical and chemical properties that can help reduce energy loss throughout the system without compromising the protection and long equipment life expected by its users.
When developing this fluid, it was essential that the lubricant’s ability to contribute toward a machine’s energy efficiency be combined with high-performance characteristics,For example, Shell Tellus EE exceeds the maximum test duration of 10,000 hours in the industry TOST (Turbine Oil Stability) test used to assess the oil life of hydraulic fluids, as well as demonstrates wear levels in hydraulic pump tests way below the levels often set by industry standards or certain OEM limits.
Additionally, the fluid has superior air release properties—releasing trapped air up to 95 percent faster than required by industry specs, which helps to minimize the effective compressibility of fluid for improved transmission of power. This also helps to control oxidation, which leads to longer oil life and protection against soot and particles.
It is also recommended that one follow the machine tool manufacturer’s recommendation when selecting the most appropriate hydraulic fluid—especially if the machine is under warranty.
Using this fluid will protect your shop’s machinery.If the fluid is too thick, your machinery will use too much energy; however, a thin fluid may not provide the necessary protection to help keep your system running for the optimum amount of time. Wear protection is crucial when trying to attain fewer breakdowns and avoid the high cost of repairs, and this energy-efficient hydraulic fluid’s unique additive technology is formulated to help deliver the best protection against hydraulic pump wear and hence help increase the service life of your system.
What are Lubricants?
Lubricants are used to reduce the friction, heat and wear between mechanical components that are in contact with each other.
By choosing the right lubricant, you can support optimum equipment performance and decrease downtime, supporting lower costs of ownership, but all of this requires choosing a supplier that you can trust.
What are the benefits of using Shell Lubricants?
Lubricants are used in many applications: Automotive, Manufacturing, Haulage, Agriculture, and Marine industries all benefit from commercial lubricants. Shell’s wide range of lubricants holds OEM approvals, meet industry standards and have the added benefits of some of Shell’s cutting-edge knowledge and processes such as Gas-to-liquid technology.
The benefits of Shell Lubricants combined with well-maintained commercial vehicles and equipment can lead to maximised opportunities for reliable and continued output, which can lead to improved profits.
