Shell Alexia LS - a special 40BN, SAE 50 cylinder lubricant, for improved piston running conditions in low speed crosshead diesel engines burning low sulphur fuels. Sudomech Supply LTD - Product catalogs - Marine lubricants - Shell Neft - Engines - Low Speed Engines - Alexia 50
Shell Alexia 140 - a two-stroke engine cylinder oil whose exceptionally high base number aims to deliver the ultimate protection for the most modern efficient engines against cold corrosion issues and the means of optimising oil feed rates when fuel grades change.
Shell Alexia 40 XC - A low-base number (BN), high-performance cylinder lubricant designed for modern low-speed, two-stroke marine engines using low Shell Marine Launches New Cylinder Oil for Engine Optimisation - Ship & Bunker sulphur fuels.
Key Performance Benefits:
- Outstanding acid neutralising properties which help to prolong the life of components
- Minimal deposits on pistons, piston rings, ring grooves, under piston spaces and in cylinder ports
- Low cylinder and piston ring wear with typical cylinder wear rates below 0.05 mm per 1000 hours due to enhanced boundary lubrication properties
- Superior protection against cold corrosion in modern efficient engines
- Optimized oil feed rates across varying fuel grades
Primary Applications:
- Low-speed crosshead diesel engines burning heavy fuel oil
- Low-speed marine diesel engines burning heavy fuel with a relatively high sulphur content of between 1.0 to 3.5% weight
- Cylinders of low-speed crosshead diesel engines burning fuels with sulphur content below 2%wt, where the designer recommends a lower Base Number (BN) oil to reduce the risk of "sudden severe wear" or scuffing
- Large marine vessels requiring cylinder lubrication
- Two-stroke marine propulsion engines
Advanced Technology Features:
- Shell Alexia 50 is blended from high viscosity index base oils and additive technology developed by Shell
- Alexia LS contains "hidden" detergency, not reflected in the BN of the product. This enables it to keep the ring belt and scavenge air ports clean in spite of the reduced BN Sudomech Supply LTD - Product catalogs - Marine lubricants - Shell Neft - Engines - Low Speed Engines - Alexia 50
- Formulated for new generation highly rated, fuel efficient engines operating with higher pressures and temperatures
