WHY SYNTHETIC OIL? XXXX


low as -30°C and can be applied by means of a central lubricating systems. Another benefit of Klübersynth AG 14-61 is its good adhesion and light colour. “The black lubricants used so far for yaw and pitch bearings often contain graphite, thus causing contamination inside and outside the wind turbine… used lubricating grease leaking from the tower and the blades pollutes the environment…and is a safety hazard for staff operating the plant”, explained Dr. Victor Camargos, Head of Business Unit Wind Energy at Klüber Lubrication. Klüber Summit Varnasolv HV is a high viscosity synthetic cleaning concentrate, which matches the gear oil to deliver the efficient cleaning of enclosed gearboxes. The used oil is subsequently drained to flush out any unwanted residues, and fresh, clean oil can be applied – for example the synthetic gear oil Klübersynth GEM 4-320 N, which has proven highly


effective in numerous wind power plants worldwide. With its high scuffing and micro-pitting strength, its high degree of wear protection, as well as its resistance to ageing and oxidation, The product is particularly suited to the specific requirements of the wind power sector.


BELLOW CARTRIDGES FOR AIR-FREE GREASE REFILL IN WIND TURBINES


In the wind market there is an increasing need for efficient refilling solutions of permanently installed automatic lubrication systems. All newer turbines are equipped with these systems and many older turbines are being retrofitted with them, however regardless of turbine age and the size of the grease reservoir, all systems will need to be refilled during scheduled maintenance intervals, typically every six months.


In order to avoid any malfunctions of the automatic lubrication systems during refilling it is important that no air gets into the system, which is why Klüber Lubrication have created and launched an improved bellow cartridge. The new air free bellow cartridge meets the increasing demand for efficient refilling solutions, is compatible with existing service re- lubrication pump units and is available in 3kg and 5kg sizes for use with Klüberplex BEM greases.
