Description / Abstract:
Scope and Objectives
The recommended practices contained in this document apply to
the flushing and cleaning of lubricating oil systems for gas
turbine driven generator units of 1000 KW and larger.
The lubricating oil system of the gas turbine provides
lubrication, surface protection, cooling, sealing and hydraulic
control. It is important that the oil system be clean for the
satisfactory performance of these functions.
The objective is to establish minimum recommendations for
flushing and cleaning gas turbine generator lubricating oil systems
during manufacture, erection and at overhaul, and this practice is
presented in this manner.
This practice is intended to aid the equipment manufacturer, the
erector, the operator, and the oil supplier in coordinating their
efforts toward obtaining a clean oil system.
These procedures are based upon current practices that have been
found satisfactory. Of necessity, they are generalized because of
variations in equipment, builder's practices, and operating
conditions.
