Monitoring in-service turbine oil condition for deterioration and degradation can significantly extend the life of both the lubricant and the turbine.

The biggest threats to turbines and turbine oil health are wear and contamination. Testing and analysis can identify the types, sources and levels of wear and contamination present and determine the lubricant’s remaining useful life.
Close operating tolerances demand clean oil to prevent bearing wear. Water ingression causes the corrosion of metal surfaces and alters viscosity, which can affect load-carrying capacity. Water also accelerates microbial growth in the oil.
Oxidation – caused by high operating temperatures, air and water – results in the formation of degradation acids and other oxidation products, such as varnish, that adhere to metal surfaces changing component clearances as well as heat transfer properties.
