Enhancing wind energy efficiency through specialized lubricants – Wind turbines operate under demanding conditions, with components exposed to high speeds, temperatures, and pressures, making the choice of lubrication critical. The right lubricant ensures not only optimal performance but also minimal downtime for wind turbine systems.

In particular wind turbines must remain free from oxidation residues to maintain seamless operation. At the elevated temperatures experienced during turbine operation, varnish can accumulate on rotors, bearings, shafts, and housings, as well as in separators, potentially leading to costly downtime and repairs. Klüber Lubrication’s synthetic lubricants, designed with carefully selected base oils and specialized additives, meet the stringent requirements of wind turbine compressors. These lubricants keep the entire system clear of oxidation residue and sludge, significantly enhancing the reliability and longevity of wind turbines.
