Palm Springs - Cogeneration

« Return to List of Projects

Lubrication Engineers saved the City of Palm Springs nearly US$ 1 million over a 20 year period by using LE 8940 MONOLEC Natural Gas Engine Oil in their three Caterpillar G399 930 HP natural gas fired engines. These engines are linked to 650 KW generators and run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Downtime, high oil consumption & the emissions of these Caterpillar engines were all of great concern to the City and therefore 20 years ago they converted them to Lubrication Engineers engine oil. Oil consumption was reduced by 50%, head life was doubled and main bearings currently have over 50,000 hours or 8 years of service on them.
