Lofrix Windpower has all the features of Lofrix Original but has been specially formulated to cope with the extreme conditions encountered in wind turbines. The differences in operating speeds, temperatures and pressures within the single gearbox of a wind turbine are a particularly harsh environment for lubricating oils. Wind turbine gearboxes are subject to highly complex loads and throughout the gearbox, bearing performance criteria differs widely. In some operating conditions bearings carry medium-sized loads at low speeds, while elsewhere bearings need to carry much lower loads but at far higher speeds. Rapid changes in operating speeds can cause high shock loads, while the high-load/low-speed conditions that arise when winds are light can lead to the breakdown of essential lubricating film. Lofrix Windpower is extremely tolerant of shock loads and stresses and is able to withstand temporary absence of lubricant. These properties help to smooth out the environmental extremes, enabling the lubricating oil to operate effectively within its tolerances. Benefits: Improves productivity Increases plant life Reduces shock and stress Lowers operating temperatures Reduces vibrations Reduces noise levels Reduces corrosion Reduces maintenance costs Features: Effective in all oils Simplifies lubricant stocks Bonds to most metals Cleans and lubricates Waterproof Low hazard in use Non flammable Contains no solid particles Applications: Wind turbine gearboxes Application: The recommended amount of Lofrix Windpower, which is between 1% and 2% of the bulk amount, it can be added directly into the gearbox while it is working, or as a part of routine maintenance. Mixing will occur automatically.
