OILING SYSTEM FOR TURBINE

1. OIL SUPPLY:-

A single oil supply line lubricates and cools the bearing, governs the m/c and operates the hydraulic actuators and safety and protective devices.

During start-up & shut-down, aux oil pump supplies the control oil. Once the turbine speed is more than 2850 rpm, the main oil pump (M.O.P) takes over.It draws oil from main tank .The lubricating oil passes through oil cooler, before can be s upplied to the bearing (Under emergency, lube oil can be supplied by a DC oil pump).Before the turbine is turned or barred,

LUBE OIL COOLER FOR TURBINE

Lubricating oil reduces friction between moving mechanical parts and also removes heat from the components. As a result, the oil becomes hot. This heat is removed from the lube oil by a cooler to prevent both breakdown of the oil and damage to the mechanical components it serves. The lube oil temperature must be maintained within a specific operating band to ensure optimum equipment performance.
