Hello all. I am new to this forum and have been performing searches for alternative EHC fluids such as EcoSafe and Quintolubric. While I have had several hits, I have see no one speak on their experiences with these products. If you have any experience with the above products (good or bad) or know someone who does, I would like to know. Please post a response. Thanks.

New@lubes:

I know of plenty of people who have used Fyrquel, Quintolubric and Ecosafe all at one site in his EHC units. He is highly respected in the power generation and has no problem speeking with anyone who wants information about these products. If you would like his contact info or anyone elses please call me @ 704-902-5192. I also know a lot about these products if you need anything.

Hi

I have very good experience of Quintolubric fire resistant Hydraulic Fluids.

These are Synthetic Water Free ,hence you can get Longer pump Life, Also due to High Viscosty Index ( 215) You can get excellent performance at High temp area.

This can perform well in diecasting Maching, Hot Rolling Mills, Laddle cars ............etc

Quintolubric is used in Toshiba EHC systems. There are many Toshiba steam turbine units in existence and it should be easy to get operating experience.

Be sure that whatever fluid chemistry you select, it is approved by your OEM.

Also, if properly maintained, Fyrquel will provide optimum performance for the life of the EHC system. It is inexpensive to do so. If you do not properly maintain the fluid, it can create significant problems. Please feel free to contact me for information on maintaining PE/EHC systems. If you understand the modes of degradation and how to correct them, this fluid really can be trouble-free.
Frank, this an old post and thanks for the limits on particles and water. Do you have limits on acid number or any other parameters that you monitor. The TAN for new fluid is reportedly 2.0 mgKOH/g so limits used for mineral oils or phosphate esters are not suitable. Also any fires yet? Polyol esters are generally not as fire resistant as water glycols or phosphate esters.
