Because contaminants will remain from theseprocesses, it is necessary to flush and purify the system to remove them prio

6、r to startup. Ongoingpurification is required to maintain pure oil during operation. In new systems, the emphasis is on theremoval of contaminants introduced during manufacture, storage, field fabrication, and installation. Inoperational systems, the emphasis is on the removal of contaminants that a

Scope*1.1 This guide covers types of contaminants, oil purificationdevices, contamination monitoring, contamination control dur-ing building or re

8、furbishing of turbine systems, lubricationsystem flushing, and maintenance of pure lubrication oil.1.2 To obtain maximum operating life and reliability, orlubricants and system, it is vital that the turbine lubricationsystem has pure oil. This guide is intended to aid the equipmentmanufacturer, inst

9、aller, and turbine operator in coordinatingtheir efforts to obtain and maintain clean lubrication andcontrol systems. These systems may be on land or marineturbine generators and propulsion and mechanical drive equip-ment. This guide is generalized due to variations in the type ofequipment, builders

10、 practices, and operating conditions.1.3 This guide primarily addresses petroleum based lubri-cating oil. For systems using nonpetroleum based fluids, thisguide may not be appropriate. For nonpetroleum products,consult the equipment and fluid manufacturers.1.4 This guide is applicable to both large

11、and small lubri-cation systems. Some equipment specified herein, however,may not be appropriate for all systems. Moreover, in situationswhere specific guidelines and procedures are provided by theequipment manufacturer, such procedures should take prece-dence over the recommendations of this guide.1

Significance and Use4.1 This guide is intended to aid the equipment

29、manufac-turer, installer, and turbine operator in coordinating their effortsto obtain and maintain clean lubrication and control systems.4.2 The flushing and cleaning philosophies stated in thisguide are applicable to both large and small lubricationsystems.4.3 Clean lubrication systems result from

30、proper systemdesign and good planning, execution, and communication byall involved during commissioning. No phase of these proce-dures should be undertaken without a thorough understandingof the possible effects of improper system preparation. Theinstallation, cleaning, and flushing of the equipment

31、 should notbe entrusted to persons lacking in experience.4.4 Because of the knowledge and specialized equipmentthat is required, the operator may wish to employ an outsidespecialist contractor for the system flushing.

32、ors.5. Contamination Control Overview5.1 Lubrication systems can become contaminated from avariety of sources. The main focus of this guide is on theminimization, monitoring, and control of contaminants: waterand both soluble and insoluble (stationary and suspended)contaminants. A more detailed disc

33、ussion of these types ofcontaminants is given in Appendix X1.5.2 Contamination control is the complete program ofobtaining and maintaining a clean lubricant and lubrication3Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036.4Available from Ameri

This includes proper construction and maintenancepractices, appropriate purification equipment, and regularmonitoring of contaminants. The contamination control pro-gram must be capable of identifying and measuring cont

35、ami-nants and controlling them at, or preferably below, componenttolerances. In particular, the sensitivity of bearings, gears,seals, and proportional and servo valves should be reviewed.As described in X2.7.1, cleanliness levels for various systemcomponents are generally established by their manufa

36、cturersspecifications. These and recommendations of the fluid manu-facturer must be considered when employing contaminationcontrol systems. In addition, there are insoluble contaminants(oxidation precursors) that are below machine tolerances, butas their volume amasses they create a potential for sl

37、udge andvarnish creation as a normal consequence of oxidation reac-tions.5.3 Contamination control considerations must begin withsystem design and continue through the manufacture, installa-tion, flushing, operation, and maintenance of the system.5.4 Design of the system must consider component con-

38、taminant sensitivity and provide points for sampling oil andmethods for controlling contaminants. Contamination monitor-ing is discussed in Appendix X2 and contamination controlmethods in Appendix X3. Inclusion of filtration in steam andgas turbine lubrication systems is discussed in PracticesD 4248

39、 and D 4241 respectively.5.5 The manufacturer must minimize the amount of built-incontaminant by minimizing ingression and by flushing com-ponents to achieve target cleanliness levels in the finishedcomponent.5.6 Contamination control during installation and majormaintenance of turbine systems is di

40、scussed in Section 6.5.7 Proper heating is critical during flushing and routineoperation to minimize oil degradation. Heating is discussed inAppendix X4.5.8 Removal of contamination by flushing is discussed inSection 7.5.9 Contamination control in operational systems and dur-ing routine maintenance

41、is discussed in Section 8. Properlydesigned systems can normally control water and insolublecontaminants in operational systems. If, however, it is neces-sary to remove soluble contaminants other than water, an oilchange and also possibly a flush may be required.6. Contamination Control When Install

42、ing andRefurbishing Turbine Systems6.1 General:6.1.1 Exclusion or removal of contaminant, or both, inmanufacturing or refurbishing, or both, are necessary for asubsequent successful flush and can be achieved only by thecooperation and diligence of many parties.6.1.2 Examples of Essential Precautions

43、 to Exclude orRemove Contaminant, or Both:6.1.2.1 The system should be designed to allow successfulcleaning.6.1.2.2 The pipe and other equipment must be properlycleaned and preserved.6.1.2.3 All possible locations for the entrance of dirt (pipeends) must be durably covered and secured for storage pr

44、ior toshipment and loading. Shipment and unloading must take placewithout damage to these covers.6.1.2.4 Inspection of pipe at the turbine site must bethorough to discover any damage or open covers and to havethem repaired.6.1.2.5 Storage prior to installation must be in a shelteredlocation, especia

45、lly if the storage is to be for a long duration.6.1.2.6 Inspection immediately prior to installation must bethorough, and the pipe must be cleaned if excessive rust or dirtis discovered.6.1.2.7 Continuous monitoring of conditions during thecomplete turbine installation must take place to ensure that

46、cleanliness related tasks are being accomplished. Dirt shouldnot be introduced into the pipes and equipment.6.1.2.8 Great care must be taken to prevent contaminantentry during any modifications.6.1.2.9 The work area must be kept clean.6.1.2.10 This list is not complete, but it does illustrate thatth

47、e manufacturer, the shipper, the operator, and the installationcontractor are all responsible for ensuring that no contaminantsenter the lubrication system. These efforts to prevent theentrance of dirt will make the flushing procedure easier, safer,and shorter, and thus less costly.6.2 On-Site Conta

48、mination Control:6.2.1 General:6.2.1.1 All components that are fabricated and assembled ata manufacturers facility and received as a unit for installationin the system are defined as preassembled components.6.2.1.2 The preassembled components should be inspectedupon receipt to determine condition an

49、d degree of protection.All seals and caps intended to exclude moisture and dirt shouldbe checked for integrity and replaced as required. If the initialor a subsequent inspection discloses dirt or rusting, the itemshould be immediately cleaned, represerved, and sealed, asrequired. Because of the variety of equipment and materials,details for each case cannot be given here. For painted (coated)components, the coating should be inspected for integrity andrenewed as necessary. All components should be checked toensure that all tape and temporary supports or restraints
