Turbine Oil Analysis Services
In today’s world, companies rely on turbines and compressors to provide power and gas transportation for core processes. Turbines and compressors already have demanding lubrication requirements and those demands are increasing. More demands are being put on these fluids as reservoir size and working clearances decrease and system power outputs, pressures, temperatures and oil service life increase. Lubricants must be highly oxidative and thermally stable to be able to handle these higher operating temperatures. Additionally, the lubricant must remain contaminant-free to properly lubricate bearings and gears, and to act as a favourable hydraulic medium for governors and valving control systems.
WearCheck’s turbine oil analysis kit determines the levels of remaining antioxidants in the oil, detects unwanted oil contamination and will accurately determine the suitability of the lubricant for continued use. A comprehensive diagnosis warns you of any potential for damaging varnish build-up and includes recommendations for any necessary maintenance actions to remove contamination and restore the lubricant to optimum operating condition.
Typical Applications: gas turbines, steam turbines, hydro-electric turbines, rotary compressors.
