On site checks of turbine oil

Onsite turbine oil checks Turbine oil is a specialized type of lubricating oil specifically designed for use in turbine systems. Turbines are devices that convert fluid energy into mechanical energy, and they are commonly used in power generation, aviation, and industrial processes. Turbine oil plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and reliable operation of these turbines. We will discuss about details about turbine oil testing procedure but right now we will discuss about instant onsite checks are quick and quality checks are as follows a) Color: Unusual and rapid darkening can indicate contamination of foreign particles or excessive degradation. b) Odor: Sour smelling oil can be indication of highly foreign particles convert into their oxides and excessive degradation take place. c) Air entrainment: Air bubbles in the body of lube oil sample should be clear within fifteen minutes. d) Foam: After vigorous shake, foam from the surface should be clear within ten minutes. e) Water: Turbine oil sample should be so transparent that you can read printing through a clear sample container. If not clear that indicates water might 300 ppm present in oil f) Solids: g) Oil kept for settling bout 20 minutes and can detect at bottom of container founds solids it indicates external or internal contamination. This is also testing procedure of turbine oil. According to Testing procedure there are 1) physical testing 2) chemical testing. For instant and quick judgement this test can be perform onsite. And then Sample sent for chemical testing details (Since chemical testing acquires prolong for testing all parameters ).
