MOBIL MOBILGARD L540 - lose Ware im Tankwagen

Applications

Mobilgard L540 has been developed for marine crosshead engines with increased power and fuel efficiency. Such engines exhibit higher temperatures and pressures in the cylinder, which reduce the lubricant's viscosity and increase the loads which it must withstand. Longer piston strokes have greatly increased the amount of surface to be protected and the amount of time the lubricant must withstand the severe cylinder temperatures and corrosive sulphur acids. Mobilgard L540 has also demonstrated superior performance in earlier engine designs.

To ensure achieving the maximum equipment life possible, particular attention should be paid to the manufacturer's special recommendations regarding the running-in of new rings and liners.

Mobilgard L540 was specially formulated for use in applications with fuel sulphur levels ranging from less than 0.3% up to 1.5%. Applications where the sulphur level is above 1.5% require special consideration and should be discussed with your ExxonMobil representative.

Appropriate feed rates should be verified in all cases by through-the-ports inspection of liners to ensure adequate oil film.
