Applications
•Lubrication of steam- and gas turbines
Shell REOLUBE OMTI can be used as
lubrication oil for main bearings in steam- and gas
turbines, generators and cooling pumps.
• Hydraulic fluid
It can be used as hydraulic fluid in
electrohydraulic governor control systems in
steam- and gas turbines.
Advice on applications not covered in this leaflet may
be obtained from your Shell Representative.
Performance Features and Advantages
• Excellent fire resistant
REOLUBE OMTI is inherently fire-resistant,
offering high flash point, high fire point and high
auto ignition temperature. It eliminates the risk of
fire, potentially caused by mineral oil products.
• Excellent hydrolytic stability
REOLUBE OMTI is to a great extend able to
withstand rapid decomposition of the Ester base
fluid under the influence of moisture and water in
the oil system.
• Very good oxidation stability
To provide long service life under normal
operating conditions.
• Good demulsibility
To enable rapid separation from water for
improved service intervals.
• Good air release
Rapid air-release minimises air entrapment in
lubrication and governor control systems in order
to ensure safe operation of the whole equipment.
• Low foaming
Minimal tendency for foaming to provide
proper lubrication and heat transfer.
Specification and Approvals
REOLUBE OMTI is approved by relevant
original equipment manufacturers, e.g. GEC,
Siemens, LMZ.
Compatibility’s
Packing, seals and hoses
Following materials are recommended for use
with REOLUBE OMTI: Butyl rubbers, Nylon,
PTFE, VITON rubber (depending on operation
temperature range).
Paintings
Attention must be paid to painted surfaces. Epoxy
paints can be seen as resistant.
Fluid conditioning
In order to ensure a long fluid life it is essential to
keep the fluid clean and dry and to maintain a low
level of acidity. Special advice for the treatment of
the product in service can be requested from your
supplier.
Health and Safety
Guidance on Health and Safety are available on
the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet which
can be obtained from your Shell representative.
Protect the environment
Take used oil to an authorised collection point.
Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.
