Chevron Marine Merchandise stated Tuesday that four-stroke engine operators may gain advantage from its new lubricating oil’s versatility.
HDAX 9700 was created to supply an answer for engines that run on a number of liquid and gaseous fuels and functions that require a low-sulfated ash lubricant, Chevron stated.
In line with the corporate, the HDAX 9700t can be appropriate for dual-fuel marine engines, as HDAX 9700 has efficiently accomplished greater than 20.000 hours of testing on a Wärtsilä dual-fuel energy plant.
“HDAX 9700 brings many advantages for operators of four-stroke engines. We labored to develop an optimized engine oil that might be used with a number of fuels with out the necessity to particularly match one oil to 1 gas, be it diesel, pure fuel, LNG, compressed pure fuel (CNG) or biofuel,” stated Luc Verbeeke, Senior Workers Engineer of Chevron Marine Merchandise.
Luc Verbeeke – Senior Workers Engineer of Chevron Marine MerchandiseIn its new white paper – HDAX 9700: Enabling the way forward for gas flexibility, Chevron outlines how HDAX 9700 is really useful for twin gas, medium-speed, four-stroke cycle, trunk piston engines which alternate between burning pure fuel, with diesel pilot gas ignition, and as much as 100% low-sulfur fuels (<1000ppm sulphur).
Per Chevron, the oil allows vessel operators to modify from fuel to low-sulfur diesel and biofuels, with out the necessity to change lubricant. With HDAX 9700, ship operators can profit from gas flexibility of their four-stroke, medium velocity engines, Chevron claims.
In line with Chevron, HDAX 9700 has change into the primary lubricant to achieve time-unrestricted approval to be used with MAN Power Options’ four-stroke engines operating on both LNG or distillate fuels (with a sulphur content material of as much as 0.10%).
It has subject service expertise and is really useful for engines in vessels working in a number of marine functions, equivalent to coastal and inland marine. It’s also well-suited for different business sectors equivalent to railroad and energy technology. These excessive output engines could also be turbocharged and outfitted with exhaust catalyst methods.
Verbeeke added: “HDAX 9700 presents benefits and choices for four-stroke engine operators utilizing a wide range of fuels.”
