Enhancing wind energy efficiency through specialized lubricants
The selection of lubricant is crucial since wind turbines work in harsh environments where their components are subjected to high pressures, temperatures, and speeds. For wind turbine systems, the proper lubricant guarantees both maximum performance and less downtime.
To continue operating well, wind turbines in particular need to be free of oxidation leftovers. Varnish can build up on rotors, bearings, shafts, housings, and separators at the high temperatures encountered during turbine operation, which could result in expensive downtime and repairs.
The synthetic lubricants from Klüber Lubrication are made with specially chosen base oils and additives to satisfy the demanding specifications of wind turbine compressors. These lubricants greatly increase the dependability and lifespan of wind turbines by keeping the entire system free of oxidation residue and sludge.
