Challenges in Turbine Operation
Extreme operating conditions require exceptional oils
Steam, gas, and water turbines are the heart of many power plants and industrial facilities. They operate under extreme conditions of high temperatures, pressures, and rotational speeds. Standard oils do not meet the demands of modern gas and steam turbines, where reliability is crucial for the continuous production of energy.
Five Critical Issues in Turbine Systems
Thermal oil degradation
High temperatures in gas and steam turbines lead to oil breakdown. Deposits, varnishes, and sludge form, blocking filters and oil channels, disrupting the operation of precision control components.
Oxidation and acid formation
Prolonged operation at high temperatures accelerates oil oxidation. Rising acid numbers lead to corrosion of non-ferrous metals and degradation of lubricating properties, shortening turbine lifespan.
Water contamination in steam turbines
Steam condensation and water ingress into turbine oil cause corrosion, lubrication deterioration, and emulsion formation. Insufficient demulsification leads to bearing failures.
Foaming and air retention
Air release issues cause cavitation in circulation pumps. Oil foaming disrupts the stability of the lubricating film, leading to accelerated turbine bearing wear.
Bearing and gearbox wear
Inadequate wear protection under high load conditions leads to bearing and gearbox damage. Especially in geared turbines, high oil load capacity is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between turbine oils ISO 32, 46, and 68?
The numbers indicate viscosity class - ISO 32 is light turbine oil for smaller loads, ISO 46 is a universal viscosity for most turbines, and ISO 68 is used in applications requiring higher viscosity. The choice depends on the turbine manufacturer's recommendations.
Can turbine oils be used as circulating oils?
Yes, high-quality turbine oils are often used as circulating oils in other demanding industrial applications. Their excellent stability and lubricating properties perform well in various circulating systems.
How often should turbine oil be analyzed?
Regular analysis every 3-6 months helps track key parameters such as viscosity, acid number, water content, and oxidative stability. The RPVOT/TOST test determines the remaining oil life and helps plan replacement.
Why is demulsification so important in steam turbine oils?
In steam turbines, there is a risk of condensation and water entering the oil. Quick water separation prevents corrosion, emulsion formation, and lubrication deterioration, which is crucial for bearing protection.
What makes gear turbine oils different?
Gear turbines require oils with anti-wear additives providing high load capacity. Zinc or zinc-free additive packages are used to protect both turbine bearings and gear teeth from wear.
What are the main causes of turbine oil degradation?
The main factors are high temperatures causing oxidation, water contamination, the presence of metallic particles from wear, and long operation time. Monitoring allows detecting degradation and taking preventive actions.
