1
Fluid technologies for a better world ™ Durability and Retention of Performance In Hydraulic Fluids
2
Hydraulic Equipment Trends Systems are becoming smaller Reduced reservoir sizes Operating pressures are increasing Higher lubricant temperatures Drain intervals are increasing Increased focus on cleanliness/filterability Noise Legislation Less oil + More Work = Increased oil stress
3
Demands Continue to Increase Additives are consumed at a greater rate in providing protection in these harsher systems. With less oil in the system and expectations for longer lifetimes, a greater performance reserve is essential. Additive quality and careful formulating are more critical then ever before.
4
Questions “Will your product continue to protect my pumps?” “Will your product retain its demulsibility characteristics with service?” “What is the expected oxidation life of your fluid?”
5
Specifications Not very dynamic Little change in OEM specifications over past years.
6
Market Overview and Trends Pump Specifications Performance Change Time 1997 - Denison HF-2 (Wet/Dry Operation T6C Vane Pump Test Replaces T5C) 1978 - Vickers 35VQ25 (Vane Pump Wear) 1977 - Denison HF-0 (Vane/T5C and Piston Pump/P46 wear) 1974 - Cincinnati Milacron (Valve Sticking ) 1971 - Denison HF-2 (Vane Pump Wear) 1950 General Antiwear - Vickers V104C (Vane Pump Wear) 2004 - Denison HF-0 T6H20C hybrid pump (obsoleted T6C/P46 pumps)
7
Specifications “Why haven’t specifications kept up with demands?” “How do we measure demands if the specifications haven’t changed?”
8
Durability and Retention of Performance Study Mono-grade –Lubrizol 5178F + Group I Base Stock Multi-grade –Lubrizol 5178F + Lubrizol 7775 + Group I Base Stocks
9
Durability Study Use of industry standard pump tests –Extend length of test –Run at elevated temperatures

Pump Conditions Denison T-5D Vane Pump Fluid Volume50 US gallons Test temperature 160 ± 5°F for 60 hours 210 ± 5°F for 20 hours Test Duration100 Hours Pressure 2500 ± 25 psi Pump Speed 2400 ± 60 rpm Flow rate70 US gallons/min. Assessment/Requirements All components are assessed visually for signs of wear and discoloration at the EOT
11
Pump Conditions Vickers 35VQ25 Fluid Volume52 US gallons Test temperature200 ± 5°F Test Duration50 hrs x 3 cartridges (extended to 1000hours) Pressure 3000 psi Pump Speed 2400 ± 60 rpm Flow rate38 US gallons/min. Assessment/Requirements Cam and ring weight loss = 90 mg. max.
12
Pump Conditions Sundstrand Piston pump – Series 22 Fluid Volume12 US gallons Test temperature 180 °F (1% water added) Heat stressed 250°F Test Duration225 Hours, double length 450 hrs Pressure 5000 psi Pump Speed 3100 rpm Flow rate25 gallons/min. Assessment/Requirements All components are assessed visually for signs of wear and discoloration at the EOT

23
Summary: Performance can be evaluated beyond specification and requirements using existing pump tests Bench Testing of stressed fluids can demonstrate Retention of Performance
24
Conclusions: Hydraulic fluids formulated with a premium anti-wear package can provide the benefits of Durability and Retention of Performance Hydraulic fluids having these qualities are not commodities but are true Specialty Fluids for modern equipments
