ANNUAL

ANALYSIS

Turbine oils are expected to last 10 to 20 years. During this lifespan, careful monitoring of both lube oil physical and chemical properties, together with common contaminants such as water and solid particles, is required and should be performed annually.

VARNISH

POTENTIAL

The measure of a lubricant's tendency to form varnish deposits, cannot accurately be measured by routine oil analysis. For this reason, specific tests have been developed which can assess the likelihood of varnish formation in a lube oil system.

EHC FLUID

ANALYSIS

Power plants that expect to achieve low forced outage rates and high availability should pay close attention to the fluid quality in the EHC systems. Proper fluid analysis, system upgrades, and flushing during outages are a good start to a healthy EHC system.

ROUTINE

OIL ANALYSIS

Oil testing performed on a regular basis establishes a baseline of normal wear and can help indicate when abnormal wear or contamination is occurring. A detailed analysis of an oil sample is a valuable preventive maintenance tool and can identify potential problems.
