Chevron Announces New Premium Hydraulic Oils That Deliver Fuel Costs Savings and Enhanced Productivity
Proven to Reduce Fuel Consumption by Improving Overall Pump
Efficiency by up to 8 Percent While Delivering Productivity Gains of up
to 25 Percent Compared to Conventional Monogrades
Chevron Lubricants, maker of technologically advanced engine oils,
lubricants and coolants, today introduced three new premium hydraulic
oils at MINExpo in Las Vegas, NV. Clarity ? Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW,
Rando ? HDZ and Rando ? HD Premium Oil MV offer multi viscosity or high
viscosity index (VI) formulations that deliver fuel cost savings and
increases in productivity when compared to conventional monogrades. The
new premium hydraulic oils feature improved oxidation and shear
stability?versus conventional monogrades?which deliver robust protection
to hydraulic pumps.
Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW: Up to 25 percent increased
productivity compared to monogrades
Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW (ISO 32, 46, 68), which provides
excellent performance in low temperature climate, is designed to give
maximum protection to both mobile and stationary vane-, piston-, and
gear-type hydraulic pumps in high-performance applications as well as in
environmentally sensitive areas. The oil has a high viscosity index to
improve hydraulic response time and increase operating temperature
range. In field trials, Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW has proven to
reduce fuel consumption by improving overall hydraulic pump efficiency
by up to 8 percent. By improving pump efficiency, it also showed a
potential gain of 5-25 percent increased productivity depending on usage
environment.

'Deadliest Catch? ? has to say about Chevron′s Clarity Synthetic
Hydraulic Oil AW.

Rando HDZ and MV: Up to 5 percent improvement in hydraulic pump
efficiency compared to monogrades
Rando HDZ oils (ISO 15, 22, 32, 46, 68, 100) are antiwear hydraulic oils
formulated with premium base oil technology to protect hydraulic pumps
against wear, rust and corrosion. They are recommended for hydraulic or
circulating oil systems, including marine on-deck machinery, hydraulic
actuated loading bins, or equipment that require a wider operating
temperature as compared to a single viscosity grade oil. In laboratory
efficiency testing, Rando HDZ oils provided up to 5 percent improvement
in overall hydraulic pump efficiency when compared to a typical
monograde hydraulic oil like Hydraulic Oil AW (a lower VI product with
VI<105). The multiviscosity feature of Rando HD Premium Oil MV promotes
even and continuous power transmission over a wide temperature range
with a minimum of shudder.
'In today′s highly competitive markets, companies are looking at all
opportunities to improve efficiency, and therefore the bottom line,?
said Jeff Snyder, Industrial Brand Specialist, Chevron Lubricants.
'Hydraulic performance is often overlooked in this quest, but the right
hydraulic fluid can deliver impressive fuel economy and hydraulic system
performance improvements. The improved efficiencies, reduced fuel
consumption and lowered lubricant purchase volumes of Chevron′s premium
products provide additional benefits to our customers compared to
conventional hydraulic fuels. ?
Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW (ISO 32, 46, 68) Benefits:
- Premium performance ? Ashless formulation provides excellent
wear protection, rust and corrosion protection, hydrolytic stability,
water separability, foam inhibition and filterability
- Long life ? Outstanding ability of the synthetic base stock to
withstand oxidation at high operating temperatures results in maximum
service life for the oil
- Wear protection at startup ? Minimum change in viscosity over
wide operating temperatures due to high viscosity index
- Hydraulic system efficiency ? Very high VI fluid improves
hydraulic response time, increases operating temperature range and
provides up to 8 percent improvement in overall hydraulic pump
efficiency
- Low temperature pumpability ? Specifically developed to ensure
good fluidity in temperatures as low as -40 ?C(-40 ?F) for ISO 32 grade,
and -30 ?C(-22 ?F) for ISO 46 and 68 grades
- Meets Key Industry Requirements ? Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic
Oil AW (ISO 32, 46, 68) meets the requirements for Eaton Vickers
35VQ25A, M-2950-S, I-286 S and other key OEM specifications
Rando HDZ (ISO 15, 22, 32, 46, 68, 100)and Rando HD Premium
Oil MV Benefits:

service (ISO 32, 46, 68).
- Protection against rust and corrosion ? Gives excellent
protection against corrosion of both copper and steel. Passes the ASTM
D665A distilled water rust test and ASTM D665B salt water rust test
- High viscosity index ? Minimum change in viscosity over a wide
range of operating temperatures
- Foam inhibition ? Contains special foam suppressant
- Excellent antiwear properties ? Provides excellent wear
protection
- Good stability ? In the presence of water in the ASTM D2619
Hydrolytic Stability Test
