4、 cycle turbines are of two types; the first type connects a gas turbine with a steam turbine,with separate lubricant circuits, and the second type mounts a steam and a gas turbine on the sameshaft and has a common lubricant circuit. The lubrication requirements are quite similar but there areimporta

5、nt differences in that gas turbine oils are subjected to significantly higher localized “hot spot”temperatures and water contamination is less likely. Steam turbine oils are normally expected to lastfor many years. In some turbines up to 20 years of service life has been obtained. Gas turbine oils,

Many of the monitoring tests used for steam turbine oils areapplicable to gas turbine oils.life from 2 to 5 years depending on severity of the operating conditions.One of the benefits of the gas turbine is the ability to respond quickly to electrical power

Consequently, a growing percentage of modern gas turbines are being usedfor peaking or cyclic duty (frequent unit stops and starts) that subjects the lubricant to variableconditions (very high down to ambient temperatures), which put additional stresses on the lub

Properties of Turbine Oils4.1 Most turbine oils consist of a highly refined paraffinic mineral oil compounded with oxidation and rust inhibitors. Dependingupon the performance level desired, small am

The turbine oils primary function is to provide lubrication andcooling of bearings

33、 and gears. In some equipment designs, they also can function as a governor hydraulic fluid.4.2 New turbine oils should exhibit good resistance to oxidation, inhibit sludge and varnish deposit formation, and provideadequate antirust, water separability, and nonfoaming properties. However, these oils

34、 cannot be expected to remain unchangedduring their use in the lubrication systems of turbines, as lubricating oils experience thermal and oxidative stresses which degradethe chemical composition of the oils basestock and gradually deplete the oils additive package. Some deterioration can betolerate

35、d without prejudice to harming the safety or efficiency of the system. Reinhibition may improve some properties of the oil.Good monitoring procedures are necessary to determine when the oil properties have changed sufficiently to justify schedulingcorrective actions which can be performed with littl

36、e or no detriment to production schedules.5. Operational Factors Affecting Service Life5.1 The factors that affect the service life of turbine lubricating oils are as follows: (1) type and design of system, (2) conditionof system on startup, (3) original oil quality, (4) system operating conditions,

37、 (5) contamination, (6) oil makeup rate, and (7)handling and storage.5.1.1 Type and Design of SystemMost modern turbine lubricating systems are similar in design, especially for the larger units.For lubrication, the usual practice is to pressure-feed oil directly from the main oil pump. The rest of

38、the system consists of areservoir, oil cooler, strainer, piping and additional purification or filtration equipment, or a combination thereof. Miscellaneouscontrol and indicating equipment completes the system. If there is an opportunity to participate in system design, it isrecommended that appropr

39、iate practices be consulted (see Practice D4241 and Practice D4248), as well OEM guidelines and oilmonitoring specifications.5.1.2 Condition of System on Start-up : Start-up:5.1.2.1 The individual components of a lubrication system are usually delivered on-site before the system is installed. Thelen

40、gth of on-site storage and means taken to preserve the integrity of the intended oil wetted surfaces will determine the totalamount of contamination introduced during this period, the magnitude of the task of cleaning and flushing prior to use, and thedetrimental effects of the contaminants. Guidanc

41、e on contamination control, cleaning, flushing, and purification of steam, gas, andhydroelectric turbine lubrication systems is provided in Guide D6439 or may be sought from the equipmentequipment/lubricantsupplier or other industry experts.5.1.2.2 Turbine oil system contamination prior to startup u

42、sually consists of preservatives, paint, rust particles, and the varioussolids encountered during construction, which can range from dust and dirt to rags, bottles, and cans. Their effect on turbine oilsystems is obvious.5.1.2.3 Ongoing purification may be required to maintain the in-service oils at

43、 an acceptable particle cleanliness level and watercontent level in the case of steam turbines for reliable lubrication and control systems operation. In operational systems, theemphasis is on the removal of contaminants that may be generated due to normal oil degradation or ingressed during operati

44、onand by malfunctions that occur during operation or contaminants that are introduced during overhaul, or both.5.1.3 Original Oil Quality:5.1.3.1 Use of a high-quality oil is the best assurance of potentially long service life. Oils meeting recognized standards aregenerally available, and one that a

45、t least meets the requirements of the turbine manufacturer shall be used. Careful oil storage,including labeling and rotation of lubricant containers, is vital to ensure proper use and prevent degradation of the physical,chemical, and cleanliness requirements of the lubricant throughout storage and

46、dispensing.5.1.3.2 It is advisable to obtain typical test data from the oil supplier. Upon receipt of the first oil charge, a sample of oil shouldbe taken to confirm the typical test data and to use as a baseline. This baseline should act as a starting point for the physical andchemical properties o

47、f the lubricant, and for future comparisons with used oil information. This is most important! Recommendedtests for new oil are given in the schedules of this practice (see Table 1Tables 1 and 2 and Table 2).5.1.3.3 When new turbine oil is to be mixed with a charge of a different composition prior c

48、hecks should be made to ensureno loss of expected properties due to incompatibility (see lubricant suppliers specifications). These should include functional testsand checks for formation of insolubles. Guidance for such compatibility testing can be referenced in Practice D7155 for evaluatingcompati

49、bility of mixtures of turbine lubricating oils.5.1.4 System Operating Conditions : Conditions:5.1.4.1 The most important factors affecting the anticipated service life of a given lubricating oil in a given turbine system arethe operating conditions within the system.Air (oxygen), elevated operating temperatures, metals, and water (moisture) are alwayspresent to some extent in these oil systems. These elements promote oil degradation and must consequently be recorded.5.1.4.2 Most turbine oil systems are provided with oil coolers to control temperature. In many cases, bulk
