3、ndustry as being necessary to ensure long trouble-free operation of turbines.The two main types of stationary turbines used for power generation are steam and gas turbines; theturbines can be used as individual turbines, or can be configured as combine cycle turbines. Combinedcycle turbines are of t

4、wo types; the first type connects a gas turbine with a steam turbine, with separatelubricant circuits, and the second type mounts a steam and a gas turbine on the same shaft and has acommon lubricant circuit. The lubrication requirements are quite similar but there are importantdifferences in that g

5、as 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, bycomparison, have a sho

6、rter service life from 2 to 5 years depending on severity of the operatingconditions. One of the benefits of the gas turbine is the ability to respond quickly to electrical powergeneration dispatching requirements. Consequently, a growing percentage of modern gas turbines arebeing used for peaking o

This practiceis performed in order to collect data and monitor trends which suggest any signs of lubricantdeterioration and to ensure a safe, reliable, and cost-effective operation of the monitored plantequipment.1. Scope*1.

9、1 This practice covers the requirements for the effective monitoring of mineral turbine oils in service in steam and gasturbines, as individual or combined cycle turbines, used for power generation. This practice includes sampling and testingschedules to validate the condition of the lubricant throu

This practice is not intended for condition monitoring of lubricantsfor auxiliary equipment; it is recommended that the appropriate practice be consulted (see Practic

29、ficance and Use3.1 This practice is intended to assist the user, in particular the power-plant operator, to maintain effective lubrication of all partsof the turbine and guard against the onset of problems associated with oil degradation and contamination. The values of the varioustest parameters me

30、ntioned in this practice are purely indicative. In fact, for proper interpretation of the results, many factors, suchas type of equipment, operation workload, design of the lubricating oil circuit, and top-up level, should be taken into account.4. Properties of Turbine Oils4.1 Most turbine oils cons

Dependingupon the performance level desired, small amounts of other additives such as metal deactivators, pour depressants, extreme3 Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd S

32、t., 4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ansi.org.D4378 132pressure additives, and foam suppressants can also be present. The turbine oils primary function is to provide lubrication andcooling of bearings and gears. In some equipment designs, they also can function as a governor hydraulic fluid.

33、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 cannot be expected to remain unchangedduring their use in the lubrication systems of turbin

34、es, 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 betolerated without harming the safety or efficiency of the system. Good monitoring procedures are nec

35、essary to determine when theoil properties have changed sufficiently to justify scheduling corrective actions which can be performed with little or no detrimentto production schedules.5. Operational Factors Affecting Service Life5.1 The factors that affect the service life of turbine lubricating oil

36、s are as follows: (1) type and design of system, (2) conditionof system on startup, (3) original oil quality, (4) system operating conditions, (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 des

37、ign, especially for the larger units.For lubrication, the usual practice is to pressure-feed oil directly from the main oil pump. The rest of the system consists of areservoir, oil cooler, strainer, piping and additional purification or filtration equipment, or a combination thereof. Miscellaneousco

38、ntrol and indicating equipment completes the system.5.1.2 Condition of System on Start-up:5.1.2.1 The individual components of a lubrication system are usually delivered on-site before the system is installed. Thelength of on-site storage and means taken to preserve the integrity of the intended oil

39、 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. Guidance on cleaning, flushing, and purification of steam, gas, and hydroelectric turbinelu

40、brication systems is provided in Guide D6439 or may be sought from the equipment/lubricant supplier or other industry experts.5.1.2.2 Turbine oil system contamination prior to startup usually consists of preservatives, paint, rust particles, and the varioussolids encountered during construction, whi

41、ch 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 an acceptable particle cleanliness level and watercontent level in the case of steam turbines for reliable lubrica

42、tion 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 operationand by malfunctions that occur during operation or contaminants that are introduced during overhaul, or both.5.1.

43、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 at least meets the requirements of the turbine manufacturer shall be used. Careful oil storage,including labeling an

44、d 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 dispensing.5.1.3.2 It is advisable to obtain typical test data from the oil supplier. Upon receipt of the first oil

45、 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 of the lubricant, and for future comparisons with used oil information. This is most important! Recommendedtests for

46、 new oil are given in the schedules of this practice (see Tables 1 and 2).5.1.3.3 When new turbine oil is to be mixed with a charge of a different composition prior checks should be made to ensureno loss of expected properties due to incompatibility (see lubricant suppliers specifications). These sh

47、ould include functional testsand checks for formation of insolubles. Guidance for such compatibility testing can be referenced in Practice D7155 for evaluatingcompatibility of mixtures of turbine lubricating oils.5.1.4 System Operating Conditions:5.1.4.1 The most important factors affecting the anti

48、cipated 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 c

49、onsequently be recorded.5.1.4.2 Most turbine oil systems are provided with oil coolers to control temperature. In many cases, bulk oil temperatures aremaintained so low, below 60C (140F), that moisture condensation can occur. Even with low bulk oil temperatures, however, therecan be localized hot spots such as in bearings, at gas seals, and in throttle control mechanisms that can cause oil degradation andeventually cause system oil to show signs of deterioration.5.1.4.3 Under the higher temperature conditions which are present in gas and steam turbines, oxidation
