Q8 Mahler Clean Technology and Gas Engine efficiency
For more than 30 years Q8Oils has been performing research to answer the typical challenges of gas engine oils. The result is a range of products that prolong the drain interval and engine cleanliness and to increase the life span of cylinder heads, specifically the valves and the vale seats.
Breaking: Mahler GR8 receives new Jenbacher J920 approval
INNIO Jenbacher approved Q8 Mahler GR8 as the first high performance 0.8% S-Ash gas engine oil for the use in INNIO Jenbacher 9-series gas engines. The approval is the result of a series of field trials and in-house tests.
Oxidation rating of used gas engine oils samples
Oxidation rating is one of the elements that influence oil drain interval. In this article we describe the different methods to test the oxidation rating of used gas engine oil samples.
How sealants and anti-rust fluids affect lubricant anti-wear properties
The main circulation lubricant in industrial applications comes into contact with anti-rust fluids and sealants used to prevent leakages. Q8Oils has tested and analysed how these products affect lubricant anti-wear properties.
In order to understand what could happen if the system is not properly flushed before start-up and if excessive amounts of sealant are used, Q8Research has investigated this issue.
Lubricant compatibility testing
When adding a new lubricant to your installation, it is important to know whether this product is compatible with the currently used product. Testing lubricant compatibility goes further than appearance tests. Even more important is to test and maintain lubricant performance.
Q8 Mahler shows excellent results in Liebherr gas engines
At Q8Oils we develop high-performance stationary gas engine oils for many different engine brands. Our unique QRAS-analysis helps us to select the right lubricant for any application and to monitor all key performances of our lubricants. The historical data of these analysis confirm that Q8 Mahler performs extremely well in Liebherr gas engines.
Gas Engines: Analytical tools, oil sample results and field testing
The Q8Oils laboratories are equipped with an extensive range of analytical tools to determine performance and characteristics of newly formulated oils. Among these are high pressure differential scanning calorimeters (HPDSC), kinematic viscosity analysers (KV), rotating pressure vessel oxidation test (RPVOT), total acid number (TAN) and total base number (TBN) analysers, Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and Infrared spectroscopy (IR).
The development of Q8 Mahler gas engine oils
So how does Q8Oils focus its research and development to achieve:
Cleaner engines
Longer oil drain periods
Lower total operational costs (TOC)
Video: Primato relies on Q8 Mahler GR gas engine oil
Primato grows tomatoes on a total surface of 125.000 m2. For the powering and heating of their greenhouses, they use a combined heat and power (CHP) installation, driven by INNIO Jenbacher 624 engines. The newly developed Q8 Mahler GR8 was successfully tested in this challenging application and resulted in longer drain intervals, higher efficiency and cleaner engine parts.
