Turbine systems provide mechanical, thermal or electrical power. The turbine oil has to lubricate mainly the bearings of the turbine and the gearbox, if present. Gas, steam or water turbines put different thermal stress on the oil. In some systems the lubricating system and the hydraulic control system are separated, in others not. To meet the different system designs, operational and environmental conditions and maintenance requirements the selection of the right turbine oil type is crucial. The use of ISO or DIN standards is the first step, followed by OEM specifications. To achieve a reliable operation the professional monitoring of the oil condition, varnish monitoring included, and special oil cleaning techniques are important.
