Mobil oil can help improve hydraulic efficiency

Exxonmobil has introduced its Mobil DTE 10 Excel Series in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, the latest product from the company's Mobil DTE range of premium hydraulic oils.

Formulated with extensive laboratory and in-service field testing, the Mobil DTE 10 Excel series may help provide quantifiable increases in hydraulic efficiency compared to Exxonmobil's standard hydraulic oils.

This can translate to reduced power consumption or increased machine output.

In controlled laboratory efficiency testing, Mobil DTE 10 Excel was measured to provide up to a six per cent improvement in hydraulic pump efficiency compared to Mobil DTE 20 when operating in standard hydraulic applications.

In additional laboratory and in-service field demonstrations conducted on a wide range of modern hydraulic systems, the Mobil DTE 10 Excel series demonstrated, compared to Exxonmobil's standard hydraulic fluids, exceptional oil life, outlasting these fluids by up to three times, while maintaining hydraulic system cleanliness and component protection.

The company said that Mobil DTE 10 Excel also demonstrated the value of its high viscosity index and outstanding shear stability by operating successfully in temperatures as low as -34C and by maintaining ISO VG class.

Mobil DTE 10 Excel has also been tested in standard vane pumps under controlled conditions directly against competitive products.

At the end of the 30 minute test, Mobil DTE 10 Excel resulted in less system heat generation and the system temperatures were measured to be 6C-7C less than certain products under identical conditions.

Designed to handle the lubrication requirements of both industrial and mobile high-pressure hydraulic systems, the Mobil DTE 10 Excel series is suitable for numerous industrial and off-highway sectors, including construction, energy/power, mining, general manufacturing, machine shops, plastics and pulp/paper.

Due to its low-temperature performance capabilities, Mobil DTE 10 Excel can be used in a range of cold applications including on board ships.
