CASTROL ANVOL PE 46 B
FIRE RESISTANT HYDRAULIC OIL
Product Description
Anvol PE 46 XC is a high-performance fire-resistant hydraulic fluid which is primarily intended for use in steam turbine governor and boiler control systems. It is based on triaryl phosphate esters selected for their excellent hydrolytic stability and contains carefully selected corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.
It has excellent hydraulic performance and provides good fire risk protection. Anvol PE 46 XC is suitable for use in hydraulic systems where, in the event of leakage or pipe fracture, there is risk of fire and where water containing fluids are unsuitable due to temperature limitations or other reasons.
It is specifically designed for use in the electro-hydraulic governor control systems of steam turbines, including systems using fine tolerance servo valves..
BENEFITS OF CASTROL ANVOL PE 46 B
Offers good fire risk protection in systems where fire resistance is vital and where water containing fluids are unsuitable due to temperature limitations or the need to maintain a high hydraulic system pressure.
High flash point, fire point and auto-ignition temperature provides excellent fire resistance.
High resistivity eliminates spool valve corrosion/erosion due to electro kinetic effects.
Low chlorine level minimizes valve erosion.
High level of fluid cleanliness – minor amounts of particulate contamination can cause abrasive wear, filter blockage and valve sticking.
Long record of trouble-free service in highly demanding hydraulic control systems on turbines.
Anvol PE 46 XC is compatible with all metals commonly found in electro-hydraulic control systems. Aluminum components should be hard anodized and the use of copper and copper alloy components kept to a minimum. In common with all phosphate ester fluids, special seals are required and the following materials are suitable: Fluropolymers (Viton), Butyl Rubber, PTFE, Ethylene Propylene Rubber – under certain operating conditions. Where paint materials are used, they should be epoxy resin based.
