ChevronTexaco Global Lubricants Introduces New Synthetic Turbine Oil.Business Editors SAN RAMON San Ramon (Spanish for "Saint Raymond") may refer to one of the following places:
-- New Lubricant Lubricant A gas, liquid, or solid used to prevent contact of parts in relative motion, and thereby reduce friction and wear. In many machines, cooling by the lubricant is equally important. Ideal for Modified Aviation-Type Gas Turbines Used in Power Generation and Marine Propulsion Marine propulsion is the act of moving an object through the water or across its surface. The most common types are underwater propeller, water jet, paddle wheel and, experimentally, magnetohydrodynamic drive. -- ChevronTexaco Global Lubricants, a leading provider of industrial lubricants and reliability solutions, today introduced a new synthetic turbine oil that significantly exceeds current performance levels for lubricants in the modified aviation-type gas turbine market. The new product, to be marketed as both Chevron Synthetic Turbine Oil SGT and Texaco Regal SGT 22, is a premium performance, synthetic polyolester-based turbine lubricant, designed for modified aviation-type gas turbines exposed to the most severe operating environment In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. in non-aviation applications such as industrial power generation and marine propulsion. "As modified aviation-type gas turbines gain in prevalence, a more sophisticated and application specific lubricant is needed," said Katherine Johnson, Industrial Specialist, ChevronTexaco Global Lubricants. "Our new synthetic turbine oil is specifically designed to meet the needs of this market, delivering the greatest level of system reliability and uptime. We believe no other lubricants designed for this market can meet the performance characteristics and benefits of our Chevron and Texaco branded SGT products." Chevron Synthetic Turbine Oil SGT and Texaco Regal SGT 22 Benefits: -- Superior viscosity-temperature characteristics of the synthetic polyolester provide outstanding low temperature fluidity to facilitate starting at low temperatures, while ensuring that an effective lubricant film is available under the most severe, high temperature conditions to protect critical components against wear -- Outstanding oxidation and thermal stability of the synthetic polyolester base fluid and special additive system resists oil breakdown under severe, high temperature, high load conditions -- Reduced coking tendency of the synthetic polyolester base fluid and additive system minimizes deposit formation on bearings and other areas exposed to the heat of the hot gases -- Compatibility with normal engine and accessory metallic construction materials and elastomeric sealing compounds -- High load carrying capacity carrying capacity the number of animal units that a farm or area will carry on a year round basis, including that needed for conservation of winter feed. Usually stated as dry cows or dry sheep equivalents per hectare. ensures maximum protection against wear -- The low volatility of the synthetic polyolester minimizes evaporative evaporative pertaining to evaporation. evaporative loss loss of body water by evaporation of water from the body to the air; a heat control mechanism and a factor in water balance studies. losses Availability Both synthetic turbine oils will be available in drums through ChevronTexaco marketers in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. by March 2004. Chevron Synthetic Turbine Oil SGT and Texaco Regal SGT 22 meet the following standards: -- U.S. Military Specification MIL-PRF-23699F Approval -- Solar Turbines Specification ES 9-224 for gas turbine engines The following manufacturers approve Chevron Synthetic Turbine Oil SGT and Texaco Regal SGT 22 for non-aviation use: -- Allison Gas Turbine Division of General Motors -- Airsearch -- Avco-Lycoming -- General Electric -- Microturbo -- Power Systems Division of United Technologies -- Pratt & Whitney -- Sundstrand -- Turbomeca Chevron Synthetic Turbine Oil SGT and Texaco Regal SGT 22 are not designed for use in aircraft service.
