Specific requirements:
High Thermal Stability: Ability to withstand high operating temperatures without degrading.
Oxidation Resistance: Strong resistance to oxidation to prevent sludge and varnish formation.
Good Demulsibility: Efficient separation from water to prevent emulsions.
Foam Control: Effective anti-foam properties due to high-speed operations.
Corrosion Protection: Inhibitors to prevent rust and corrosion under high-temperature conditions.
Low Volatility: To minimize oil consumption and emissions.
These properties ensure reliable performance in the demanding environment of gas turbines.
