Many power plant engineers can attest to the importance of protecting a turbine’s lubrication system from the damaging effects of water, particulate and air/gas ingression. The most practical and effective way to do this is by using a turbine lube oil conditioner. To understand the benefits of using a turbine lube oil conditioner, first it…
Varnish is a thin, hard film that forms in oil lubrication systems that can lead to machinery failures if not properly prevented or removed. It is caused by the breakdown of oil due to heat, oxygen, and contaminants. When oil breaks down, it produces molecular by-products called varnish precursors that adhere to metal surfaces, creating…
