Long term trial of a purpose built WTG gear oil

摘要

Using the most appropriate lubricant in WTG gearboxes can significantly improve wind turbine availability. Consequently lubricant manufacturers are developing advanced synthetic gear oils that are tailored to this specific task. The MobilExxon offering is designated Mobilgear SHC XMP 320. This study evaluates its performance using data that came from 38 000 samples collected over a 12 year period.
