Stop Turbine Oil from Cooking In Outages |
|
If you have an outage in a turbine and your lube oil pumps are locked out, be sure to turn off the tank heaters. Most heaters and RTD temperature probes are located in two different places that heat and read flowing oil. This can result in over-cooking the oil in the non-flowing/heated area.

Oil Analysis for Early Fault Detection |
|
From "Facility Manager's Maintenance Handbook"
While vibration monitoring is certainly the most widely used tool for determining rotating machinery condition, oil analysis will, in many situations, provide an earlier indication that abnormal or premature wear is in progress. Oil monitoring and analysis is especially appropriate for slow-speed machines, reciprocating machines and gearboxes, as they usually show developing faults earlier using oil versus vibration analysis.
As internal machine components wear, they leave the wear particles in the lubricating oil. Identifying the existence, size, shape and elements of the wear particles leads to identifying the particular component experiencing the wear.
