Higher temperatures in advanced gas and steam turbines require a circulating system oil with exceptional high temperature stability. Chevron GST Oils have outstanding thermal and oxidation stability.

Nonvolatile oxidation inhibition minimizes the evaporative loss of the inhibitors, a common problem with turbine oils where bearing temperatures are high and system capacities are limited. With retained oxidation resistance for long periods under high temperature conditions, Chevron GST Oils have proven they will provide longer oil service life and reduced turbine down time.

Corrosion inhibition protects costly turbine shafts and gears from corrosion and rusting. Chevron GST Oils have excellent demulsibility characteristics which allow these oils to maintain a high film strength coating on critical wear points of bearings and gear reducers and assure fast removal of water contamination.

Foam inhibition prevents sump overflow and erratic governor operation.
