Manufacturer's description

Advanced synthetic, zinc-based hydraulic oil using Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) technology. Shell Tellus S4 VE hydraulic fluids are based on Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) technology and are designed for a wide range of stationary and mobile applications, with a very long oil life, a wide operating temperature window, impactful energy efficiency and robust equipment protection. Shell Tellus S4 VE allows customers to achieve potential cost savings through longer equipment life and lower maintenance costs.

Applications

• Mobile hydraulic systemsShell Tellus S4 VE, with its wide operating window, long oil drain intervals, superior system operating characteristics and many OEM approvals, is designed to be particularly suitable for mobile hydraulic systems, such as construction and mining machinery.
• Industrial hydraulic systemsShell Tellus S4 VE, with its energy efficiency benefits and long oil life, is designed to be particularly suitable for stationary industrial hydraulic systems with a high intensity of hydraulic power usage, such as injection moulding and high-pressure metal pressing operations.
• Wind turbinesWind turbine systems are exposed to harsh conditions, such as extremely cold climates and humid regions, including offshore locations. Shell Tellus S4 VE, with its high-performance additives in a GTL base oil, ensures a long service life, while its high viscosity index delivers responsive performance even under cold start conditions.
• Marine hydraulic systemsShell Tellus S4 VE is recommended for marine applications where ISO HV category hydraulic fluids are recommended. Specifications, approvals and recommendations
• GB 11118.1-2011 L-HS Ultra LowFor the full list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell Technical Helpdesk representative. Compatibility and miscibility
• CompatibilityShell Tellus S4 VE fluids are suitable for use with most hydraulic pumps.
• Fluid compatibilityShell Tellus S4 VE fluids are compatible with most other mineral and synthetic hydraulic fluids. However, mineral and synthetic hydraulic fluids must not be mixed with other fluid types (for example environmentally acceptable or fire-resistant fluids).
• Compatible with seal materialsShell Tellus S4 VE fluids are compatible with the seal materials specified for use with mineral and synthetic oils.

Performance & benefits

• Made with GTL base oil and high-performance additive technology, it targets maximum hydraulic efficiency, which can reduce energy consumption by 1-5% in both industrial and mobile equipment.
• Allows extended maintenance schedules through longer oil life, exceptional wear protection for hydraulic equipment and strong protection against sludge and varnish formation.
• An advanced-performance, shear-stable hydraulic oil based on GTL base oil technology with a high viscosity index and strong thermal and oxidative stability; can reach a life of up to 10,000 hours, as measured by the Turbine Oil Stability Test (TOST).
• Rapid air release makes it ideal for modern hydraulic systems with small reservoirs, reducing noise and pump wear by minimising air contamination on the high-pressure side.
• Excellent filtration and water-separation performance keeps equipment clean, and optimised stick-slip performance allows precise operation and control; meets and exceeds the strict ISO 4406 cleanliness requirements.
• Demonstrates remarkable performance even in the strictest pump tests, such as Bosch Rexroth RDE 90245, Denison T6H20C (dry and wet versions) and Eaton Vickers 35VQ25, with proven performance over thousands of hours of field testing, from excavators to plastics moulding and injection machines.
• Special high-viscosity-index base oils (GTL technology) and viscosity modifiers minimise viscosity variation with temperature; good sub-zero fluidity allows pumping at low temperatures, prevents cavitation, saves energy and shortens warm-up time.
• Provides durable equipment performance at high temperatures; the wide operating temperature window allows this hydraulic oil to be used across most seasons.
