Wind Power
Most Wind Turbine Gearbox failures are preventable & many are the result of poor lubrication. L.E. is helping to rescue damaged wind turbines worldwide resulting in big savings for their owners. The profits generated from preventative maintenance in healthier wind turbines is even greater.
Lubrication Engineers 'The Lubrication Reliability Source' is working with increasing numbers of wind turbine operators globally to help them solve their maintenance problems. L.E. is now working with OEM's, service companies & individual customers from the wind power industry.
Satisfied L.E. wind power customers are successfully currently using the following cross-section of L.E. lubricants in their turbines:
Gearboxes: 
Bearings:
Open / Yaw Gears:
L.E. has a detailed strategy for protecting wind turbines - and it does not just include prescribing the use of our specialist gear oils & greases for wind turbine lubrication.
Other important 'RELIABILITY' elements include:
- Automatic Lube Systems
- Installation of DES-CASE dessicant breathers for gearboxes - preventing dust & water contamination.
- Periodic LEAP (L.E. Analysis Programme) - oil analysis
- Installation of magnetic filters
- Calibrating parameters for oil cooling systems & oil pumps
- Possible change of mechanical valves
This 'Reliability' approach is ultimately helping to reduce the operating & maintenance costs of wind turbine operators, whilst also increasing the productivity of their turbines & subsequently their profits.
The Wind Power Flyer (available in German, Spanish, Swedish & English) provides more detailed information on our verified results & the key reasons behind the exceptional performance of L.E. products for wind turbine lubrication.
