Shell Tellus S4 VX is an advanced hydraulic fluid technology designed for use in applications subjected to extremely low ambient temperatures such as arctic or exposed areas.
Applications
Low temperature exterior hydraulic applicationsShell Tellus S4 VX has been designed for use in all types of hydraulic systems where the operating temperature does not continuously exceed 75 0 C. Shell Tellus S4 VX has been specifically designed for systems that must be started-up at extremely low temperatures, with a subsequent temperature increase during operation. Note: Operators are recommended to check with the equipment manufacturer to determine whether the viscosity characteristics of Shell Tellus S4 VX are suitable for use in their application.
Performance & benefits
Low temperature system operation and efficiencyThe very high viscosity index (VI) of Shell Tellus S4 VX ensures that the hydraulic fluid flows at temperatures where conventional hydraulic fluids would become too thick to allow equipment operation. This allows safe equipment start-up at very low temperatures, with no or minimum heating of the system being required. This delivers increased equipment availability and more efficient operation of the hydraulic system, which in turn, helps users obtain higher productivity from their machines.
Extremely wide operating temperature rangeThe very high viscosity index of the fresh fluid, coupled with mechanical shear stability, allows operation over a very wide temperature range. All-year round operation with Shell Tellus S4 VX is therefore possible (subject to a maximum operating temperature of 75 0 C).
Equipment protectionShell Tellus S4 VX contains carefully designed ashless (zinc-free) anti-wear additives to help protect critical components of the hydraulic system from wear.
