Power Plant Applications
Water ingress and sludge/varnish build-up are the main threats to lube oil in thermal, hydro and gas power plants.
In thermal, hydro and gas power plants, the main threat to lubricating oil is water ingress (from steam or condensation) and sludge/varnish build-up caused by high heat. Water drastically thins the oil film, accelerating bearing wear and oxidation.
- Main Turbines & Generators: Maintain the oil cleanliness levels with RTES Depth Filtration machines.
- Boiler Feed Pumps & Hydraulic Governors: RTES filtration machines remove sub-micron varnish deposits to prevent servo-valves from sticking.
- Coal Pulverisers & Crushers: Dedicated bypass gear oil filters clear out heavy ash particles and mill scale from mill gearboxes.
