ENERGY SAVING HIGH-PERFORMANCE BIO-LUBRICANTS

EXAMPLE 1: BIOTECH CHAIN LUBE ENERGY-SAVER vs. Degreased Chain

Source: Danico GmbH

Test Results:

The dark grey gradient shows the energy consumption of a degreased chain drive. The arithmetic average is 222 Watt. This gradient is also ascending. In direct comparison to the degreased chain our BIOTECH CHAIN LUBE ENERGY-SAVER shows lower energy consumption with an arithmetic average of 211Watt.

The aim is to demonstrate how important it is to lubricate the chain of a chain drive with a High Performance BIOTECH-Lubricant. Without lubrication you have higher wear and at least five percent higher energy consumption. In the near future we will show you a test cycle which will show if the degreased chain uses much more energy under long-term test conditions.

Test configuration:

The test rig consists of a power ergometer which is connected to race bike (Cyclus 2, RBM electronik-automation GmbH). The test modus is watt-controlled training with 200 Watt adjustment. The data-sampling rate is one data point/sec and the displayed gradients are 30 data point moving averages. The individual data points are not shown. Datas of pedalstrokes are obtained with a power sensor equiped treadle (STAGES powermeter XTR).



EXAMPLE 1b: BIOTECH CHAIN LUBE ENERGY-SAVER VS. MINERAL OIL

Source: Danico GmbH

Test Results:

The dark grey gradient shows the energy consumption of a chain drive which is lubricated with F105 mineral oil. The arithmetic average is 216 Watt. In direct comparison to this mineral oil product our BIOTECH CHAIN LUBE ENERGY-SAVER shows lower energy consumption with an arithmetic average of 211Watt. This demonstrates how you can save energy when you are using High-Performance BIOTECH Lubricants instead of a mineral oil product. In the near future we will run further performance tests with a longer test cycle in order to show you the positive long-term capability of our BIOTECH lubricants.

Test configuration:

The test rig consists of a power ergometer which is connected to race bike (Cyclus 2, RBM electronik-automation GmbH). The test modus is watt-controlled training with 200 Watt adjustment. The data-sampling rate is one data point/sec and the displayed gradients are 30 data point moving averages. The individual data points are not shown.

EXAMPLE 2: BIO-Hydraulic Fluid vs. Mineral Oil based Hydraulic Fluid

Source: Continental AG, NATOIL AG

Test Results:

The standard mineral oil product exhibits higher energy consumption at every stage of this performance test. At the lowest power stage you can save 5,3% energy with Bio Hydraulic Oil. At the highest stage at 2000kN you can save impressive 15,5% energy. A second important result ist he faster cyclus oft he Bio Hydraulic Oil. The cyclus was finished after only 176,5 seconds which means a significant higher productivity.

Test configuration:

Test loads: 150kN* (15sec), 750kN (15 sec), 1500kN (15 sec), 2000kN (15 sec) and 2000kN (45 sec)

*) kN: kiloNewton
