1. A Suncor Energy business ENERGY EFFICIENCIES Maximize The Opportunity – Select the Right Lubricant ALBERTA FOREST PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION SEPTEMBER 2012

2. 1 OBJECTIVE This presentation is to review the opportunities in reaching energy efficiencies and prolonging equipment and oil life in the forestry industry. –Traditional thinking Indoor: Mono-grade oils Outdoor: Multi-grade oils We will discuss advantages of moving to multi- grade lubricants indoors.

3. 2 FORESTRY - INDUSTRY TRENDS Overall reduction in costs (who isn’t) Energy consumption reflects a substantial operational cost for the Forestry industry Hydraulic systems are becoming smaller but more efficient resulting in higher temperatures and pressures A typical hydraulic pump converts approx 20% of its horsepower into heat, therefore most fluids run at elevated temperatures Gear design changes to improve efficiency require gear lubricants to work at higher temperatures. OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHANGE

4. 3 The trends and more severe requirements on today’s hydraulic and gear systems can and are met with existing high quality mono-grade (straight-grade, single-grade) oils. However, further improvements in performance, as well as an added bonus in energy efficiencies is possible through the use of non-traditional products multi-grade oils in indoor applications.

6. 5 Lubrication is key when sliding (area) contact is present. Lubricants are used to reduce friction and wear by preventing metal to metal contact. No Lubricant: High Friction Full Film (Hydrodynamic) Lubrication: Low Friction Thin Film (Boundary) Lubrication: Moderate Friction Steel Steel Steel Steel Steel Steel Air Oil Film WHY LUBRICATE?

9. 8 Viscosity is a measurement of resistance to flow at one temperature. Viscosity Index (VI) is a measurement of the rate of change of viscosity over a range of temperatures. In simple terms: it measures how fast the oil thickens up as it gets colder or how fast it thins out as it gets hotter. Generally the higher the VI the more all- season the product LUBRICANT PROPERTIES

10. 9 Viscosity Index is an inherent property of the base oil used to blend a lubricant. –Some oils have naturally higher VI than others (i.e. Group II or synthetics) VI can be improved significantly by blending soluble additives called VI Improvers (VII) into the oil. These additives are long polymer molecules which uncoil at high temperatures to increase viscosity, while at low temperatures they form tight “balls” which no longer contribute much to viscosity.

Viscosity increase at low temperatures is relatively small resulting in cold temperature viscosity near original base oil.

16. 15 HYDRAULIC PUMP EFFICIENCY Volumetric Efficiency: All pumps have internal leakage paths. Mechanical Efficiency: Energy is consumed to rotate pump and overcome fluid frictional losses. The amount of mechanical and volumetric loss in a pump is primarily a function of the fluid’s viscosity and lubricity properties.

Each product ran for 4 days (~6 hours / day) Results above are extrapolated to 4000 hrs using a Denison T6CM pump (B10 cartridge, 2000 rpm, 200 bar, 70 o C) to benchmark field trial products and internal multi-grade. Since the efficiency of the pump is based on viscometric properties of the fluid at certain temperatures and pressure conditions, data can be accurately extrapolated from the field trial and bench tests to other products.

26. 25 SUMMARY Significant opportunities are available to improve energy efficiencies by changing to multi-grade oils in applications otherwise suitable for mono-grade products. Multi-grade hydraulic and gear oils that are shear stable will maintain viscosity and allow operations to run under wider temperatures Improved shear stability results in improved energy efficiencies Although much of the test results shown in this presentation are related to mobile equipment, the opportunities of energy efficiencies are relevant to all equipment based on the lubricant technology. Selecting the right multi-grade oil saves money.
