Shell Melina S 30
Multifunctional Lubricant for low speed marine diesel engines

Shell Melina S is a high performance multifunctional low speed diesel engine lubricant based on a blend of highly
refined high viscosity index mineral oils and a balanced selection of additives. It is designed to provide the highest
levels of machinery protection in highly rated low speed marine engines, but being multifunctional, can also be used in
many different items of marine equipment and used to rationalise the number of grades of lubricant carried on board
ship. Please note that Shell Melina S is NOT recommended for trunk-piston engines and in these cases Shell Melina

Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 • Reliable Performance

High Performance Heat Transfer Fluid

Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 is based on carefully selected, highly refined mineral oils chosen for their ability to provide
superior performance in indirect closed fluid heat transfer systems.

Performance, Features & Benefits Main Applications

· Extended maintenance intervals

Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 is based on carefully selected highly
refined mineral oils and resists oil cracking, oxidation and
thickening. This provides extended oil life, provided efficient
fluid heating and good pump circulation is ensured, such that

· System efficiency
Low viscosity enables excellent fluidity and heat transfer over a
wide temperature range. Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 also has
a low vapour pressure so resists cracking. This minimises the
formation of volatile decomposition products; these would
require recovery via expansion chamber and condensate
collector.
· Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 can be used in high temperature
continuous heat transfer equipment with the following
application limits:
· Max. film temperature : 320ºC
· Max. bulk temperature : 300ºC

Additional Information

· Advice
The life of Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 depends on the design and usage of the system. If the system is well designed and not
subjected to abnormal workloads, the life can be for many years.

It is important to monitor oil condition regularly as rates of change in physical characteristics are more significant than actual
values. The properties that should be monitored are viscosity, acidity, flash point (open and closed) and insolubles content.
