Shell Tegula V 32 • 209L

Performance, Features & Benefits

• Based on a blend of highly refined mineral oils and optimized additive system for superior thermal and oxidative stability
   
• Meets increased thermal requirements of railway hydrodynamic transmissions for extended drain intervals
   
• Provides excellent and constant air release properties over long period
   
• Excellent extreme-pressure and micro-pitting resistance properties permit excellent load carrying capacity with reduced component wear 
   
• Compatibility with all seal materials and paints normally specified for use with mineral oil
   
• Enhanced compatibility with yellow metals even at higher temperatures
   
• Not recommended for use in industrial couplings if excessive water entrainment cannot be avoided

Main Applications

• Railway hydrodynamic transmission systems
  Transmission systems for railway diesel engines consist of various combinations of fluid couplings, torque converters and transmission gears. This type of transmission is used in combination with a hydrodynamic brake which is operated to reduce brake shoe wear during periods of prolonged braking down long slopes. At times, the brake oil temperature may reach up to 140 C.
   
• Gears and PIV variator lubrication
