Measurable:

Volatility of base oil and formulation
This thermal stability test assesses the oils short term deposit resistance when
exposed to very high temperatures.
The test result indicates the oils resistance against sludge formation and is key to
obtaining MAN Turbo approval.
The lower the sludge levels in the oil at the end of test the better the performance.

EFFICIENCY BENEFITS OF GTL BASED TURBINE
OILS AIR RELEASE AND FOAMING
Turbine oil reservoirs are circulating oil system and entrainment of air
and foaming is possible
Important to consider residence time of oil in tank to help settle
contaminants (including air, water)
Turbine oils formulated with GTL base oils can significantly improve air
release times and reduce foaming potential
