Manufacturer's description

Shell Omala S3 Wind is a mineral oil based industrial gear lubricant offering high performance in wind turbine gearbox applications. It has been specifically designed to efficiently operate in low temperatures, assures excellent wear protection under high loads and shock load conditions, guards against micropitting and offers a high level of cleanliness. Please consider that use in systems with fine filtration is not recommended/supported by Shell because sustained foam control performance is not assured.

Applications

• Wind turbinesShell Omala S3 Wind has been developed to lubricate the main gearbox of wind turbines. Shell Omala S3 Wind is particularly recommended where a wind turbine gear oil is required to be supplied to high cleanliness levels. Shell Omala S3 Wind is also suitable for use in yaw and pitch drive gearboxes where a mineral oil based product is requested. Shell do not recommend/support use in systems with fine filtration (<10 microns) because sustained foam control performance is not assured. Please consult your Shell Local Technical Advisor and Product Application Specialist.

Performance & benefits

• Long oil lifeShell Omala S3 Wind is formulated to resist thermal and chemical breakdown throughout the maintenance interval. It will defend against sludge formation to provide extended oil life capability.
• Wear & corrosion protectionShell Omala S3 Wind provides high levels of load carrying capacity and micro-pitting performance providing long component life even under shock loading conditions. These features provide benefits in terms of gear and bearing component life. Shell Omala S3 Wind also provides excellent rust and corrosion protection, even in the presence of contamination by water.
• Enhanced system efficiencyShell Omala S3 Wind can help maintain or enhance the efficiency of wind turbine gearboxes through improved low temperature performance, improved wear protection, excellent resistance to foam formation and has excellent water separation properties.
• CleanlinessShell Omala S3 Wind is filtered to high cleanliness levels during manufacture, meeting the rating of 17/15/12 or better at filling point, according to ISO 4406.

Standards & approvals

• ISO 12925-1 CKD
