Product Description Shell Varnish Removal Fluid
Shell Varnish Removal Fluid is a synthetic based solvency enhancer, that improves the solubility of used oil. When added to in-service oil, at the recommended treat rate, Shell Varnish Removal Fluid improves the solubility of used oil and solubilizes oil varnish precursors, which may subsequently be removed by varnish removal filtration technology. This leads to longer oil life and mitigate against the risks associated with varnish formation in rotating equipment. Shell Varnish Removal Fluid is recommended to be used in oil systems in rotating equipment such as steam, gas and combined cycle turbines in power generation or marine service. The product can also be used in air turbocompressors in the fertilizer, petrochemicals and oil & gas industries. Furthermore, Shell Varnish Removal Fluid can be used in hydraulic systems and other gear, bearing and circulating applications. However, care must be taken if Shell Varnish Removal Fluid is added to systems where the operating oil viscosity is over 150 cSt at 400C. In these system, the effect oil dilution must be taken into consideration, please consult your local Shell Representative. This product can be used in any oil application where varnish contamination accelerates the formation of deposit and leads to valve sticking or the accumulation of system deposits. Note: this product should not be used with water based or grease systems.
Performance, Features & Benefits of Shell Varnish Removal Fluid are:
- High Varnish Dissolution Capacity Shell Varnish Removal Fluid is designed with a low aniline point to impart improved capacity of varnish dissolution which allows the oil cleaning device removing the varnish from used oils thus effectively extend the oil life and the maintenance intervals of the operating system..
- Excellent Compatibility When added at the recommended treat rates of 3 to 10% in the in-service oil, Shell Varnish Removal Fluid demonstrates excellent compatibility without negatively impacting the performance of the oil in areas such as flash point reduction or degrading surface properties including foaming tendency, air release or water separation. When used at the recommended treat rates, mixtures are fully compatible with filter media and elastomers as commonly applied in rotating equipment. As noted above, care must be taken if Shell Varnish Removal Fluid is added to systems where the operating oil viscosity is over 150 cSt at 400C. In these systems, the effect oil dilution must be taken into consideration.
