Turbine Analysis

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

The key to efficient turbine maintenance is routine monitoring of the oil, which ensures that decisions involving the turbine, including scheduling of oil changes and other maintenance are based on what is actually happening inside the unit. Routine and in-depth monitoring can provide warning signs early enough to take corrective action. Oxidation, thermal degradation, and the formation of Varnish are a few of the biggest threats that should be routinely monitored.
