High-performance lubricants for hydroelectric power stations from ADDINOL

Depending on the application, various lubricants are used in hydroelectric power stations, including turbine oils, hydraulic oils, gear oils and greases. These are used to lubricate and protect turbines, bearings, generators and hydraulic control systems.

Lubricants used in hydroelectric power plants must withstand high loads whilst providing reliable protection against wear, corrosion and ageing. Key properties include:

• High oxidation stability
• Excellent water separation properties
• Corrosion protection in the presence of moisture
• High pressure-carrying capacity
• Long oil service life
• Optional environmental compatibility in sensitive areas

Turbine oils must operate continuously under high loads whilst simultaneously dissipating heat, separating air and preventing deposits. Specially developed turbine oils from ADDINOL support reliable and efficient plant operation.

As hydroelectric power stations are often operated in ecologically sensitive areas, environmentally friendly lubricants are becoming increasingly important. Biodegradable or particularly environmentally friendly lubricants can help to meet environmental regulations and minimise risks.

Yes, high-quality lubricants reduce friction, protect components and can prevent unplanned downtime. This helps to improve efficiency, enhance plant availability and reduce maintenance costs.

ADDINOL is a full-range supplier offering lubricant solutions for turbines, hydraulic systems, gearboxes and bearing applications. Depending on requirements, mineral oil-based, synthetic and environmentally friendly solutions are available.

The choice depends on the type of system, the manufacturer’s specifications, operating conditions and environmental requirements. A technical consultation can help you identify the best lubricant solution for your application. Please feel free to contact us.
