The viscosity of gas turbine oil is usually
between 2.5 - 30 cSt @ 40C .
Gas turbines operate on a family of
lubricating oils known as R&O oils
(Rust & Oxidation inhibited oil).
Gas turbine sump capacities can range in
size from 1,000 to 20,000 gallons, which
drives the economic incentive for a longlife lubricating oil.
Low turbine oil makeup rates
(approximately five percent per year) also
contribute to the need for high-quality,
long-life lubricants.
Without significant oil contamination
issues, turbine oil life is primarily dictated
by oxidation stability. Oxidation stability is
adversely affected by heat, water aeration
and particulate contamination.
Antioxidants, rust inhibitors and
demulsibility additives are blended with
premium quality base stock oil to extend
oil life.
Lube oil coolers, water removal systems
and filters are installed in turbine
lubrication systems for the same purpose .
Unlike most gasoline and diesel engine oil
applications, turbine oil is formulated to
shed water and allow solid particles to
settle where they can be removed through
sump drains or kidney loop filtration
systems during operation.
ASTM D2272 (Rotation Pressure Vessel
Oxidation Test) and TOST - ASTM D943
(Turbine Oil Oxidation Stability)
performance to meet these higher
operating temperatures .
To aid in contaminant separation, most
turbine oils are not additized with high
levels of detergents or dispersants that
clean and carry away contaminants.
Turbine oils are not exposed to fuel or soot
and therefore do not need to be drained
and replaced on a frequent basis .
labyrinth seals
Compressor Lubricants
Premium-grade ISO VG 32 turbine oils are
used more often than the heavier viscosity
grades.
The typical viscosity index is 97, with a
pour point around -37C (-35F).
Oxidation stability (per ASTM D943)
should exceed 5,000 hours and the flash
point (per ASTM D92, COC) should be
206C, or 403F.
Compressor Lubricants
lubricants must provide the following:
1. Long life without need for change out
2. Prevention of acidity, sludge, deposit formation
3. Excellent protection against rust and corrosion,
even during shutdown
4. Good demulsibility to shed water that enters
the lubrication system
5. Easy filterability without additive depletion
6. Good foam control
Reciprocating Compressors
Proper lubrication includes
Selection of a high quality lubricant suited
for the particular service conditions
Cleanliness in storage.
Application of correct quantities in a
manner that permits effective
performance.
Reciprocating Compressors
Proper lubrication will lead to:
Reduced wear rates of sensitive and
critical parts
Avoidance of failure and malfunction
Reduced cost of system downtime, spare
parts, new oil, and labor for repair
Minimum power consumption
Reciprocating Compressors
A lubricant is expected to
Separate rubbing parts
Dissipate frictional heat through cooling and heat
transfer
Flush away entering dirt as well as debris
Minimize wear
Reduce friction loss and power required
Reduce gas leakage
Protect parts from corrosion
Minimize deposits

BEARING
Reciprocating Compressors
CYLINDER AND PACKING LUBRICATION
The lubrication system for compressor
cylinders and packing must be able to reliably
deliver relatively small amounts of oil at
higher pressures in order to lubricate the
wearing surfaces of cylinders and piston rods.
Excessive oil volumes can cause fouling of
valves, gumming of the packing, and
accumulation in the downstream piping
system.
Reciprocating Compressors
To effectively troubleshoot poorly performing
compressors , follow these steps:
1- Clearly define the problem based on observations and accumulated
information.
2- Review available historical system operation.
3- Identify and obtain any additional information and analysis that may
be required.
4- Identify and list potential root causes and consider each.
5- Deduce the root cause based on the accumulated information.
6- Execute corrective action.

Excessive Carbon on Valves
1- Excessive lube oil
2- Improper lube oil (too light)
3- Oil carryover from inlet system or previous
stage.

1. Low oil level
2. Dirty filter strainer
3. Defective pump or relief valve
4. Relief valve on header faulty
5. Worn bearings or excessive clearance
6. Low oil viscosity

Grease Characteristics
Bleeding, migration, syneresis
Bleeding is a condition when the liquid lubricant
separates from the thickener.
Migration is a form of bleeding that occurs when
oil in a grease migrates out of the thickener
network under certain circumstances.
Syneresis is a special form of bleeding caused
by shrinking or rearrangement of the structure
due to physical or chemical changes in the
thickener

Two major types of synthetic gear oils have been used successfully in
challenging conditions with worm gears: polyalphaolefins and polyalkelene
glycols.
Polyalphaolefins (PAOs) are the most common type of synthetic lubricant.
They have good high and low temperature properties and are compatible
with most mineral oils. Unlike some synthetics, PAOs dont attack paints or
seals.
Most formulations contain a small amount of organic ester or antiwear
mineral that improves boundary lubrication conditions.
Products that contain EP additives are also available. There are no major
disadvantages, other than cost, when using PAOs as worm gear lubricants.
Typical commercial oils: Chevron Tegra, Texaco Pinnacle, Exxon Teresstic
SHP, Mobil SHC, Shell Hyperia and Royal Purple Synergy.
