Mobil SHC 825

Mobil SHC™ 800 Series turbine oils are designed specifically to meet the needs of the most severe industrial gas turbine applications with a nominal 10,000 hour TOST life. They are recommended for the lubrication of land-based gas turbines, particularly units under 3,000 hp used as standby power units, and in some types of total energy and combined cycle (gas/steam) systems. This product family is formulated with synthesized hydrocarbons and a unique additive system. This formula provides outstanding low temperature fluidity and exceptional resistance to degradation at high temperatures. Mobil SHC 800 Series lubricants also provide excellent antiwear properties as well as protection against rust and corrosion plus good air release performance and resistance to foaming.

These characteristics help to provide superior resistance to thermal/oxidative degradation during the heat soaking period after shutdown and permit rapid oil circulation at low temperatures during start-up. Degradation resistance is a key attribute in avoiding harmful deposits that can interfere with lubrication supply to the bearings or foul critical servo-valves. This is a particular issue when gas turbines are running in cycling mode and experience multiple thermal stress cycles. Since low temperature fluidity and high viscosity index are inherent characteristics of the fluids, they resist changes in service as a result of mechanical shearing or repeated cycling from low to high temperatures. Mobil SHC 800 Series oils are fully compatible with mineral oils, but admixture will detract from their superior performance properties.
