Texas Refinery Corp.'s
TURBINE OILS
are of the highest quality - - formulated to satisfy
completely the lubrication needs of steam and gas
turbines. These units can be found in utility and
industrial power plants, railroad gas turbines, and
marine vessels. It meets the military requirements
MIL-L-17331H. |
Contains
Quality Base Oil
The
service life of any turbine oil depends upon two factors - -
base oil quality and performance additives.
TURBINE OIL
starts out with high viscosity index paraffin base stocks. The
base stocks are put through several refining processes to remove
impurities. Solvent extraction remove many undesirable
characteristics from the oil. However, the oils are also put
through hydro-treating, which further improves the oil's
resistance to oxidation, and improves the oil's response to the
superior quality additives used by Texas Refinery Corp.
Helps
Prevent Rust, Oxidation, And Foam
Excellent rust and oxidation inhibitors, as well as anti-foam
chemistry is added to TURBINE OIL.
Should water become present, it contains rust inhibitors to
protect the metal surfaces from rust and corrosion. The
anti-oxidation additives give this quality base oil extremely
long life and prevent breakdowns of the oil. Long life is
necessary because of the cost involved in shutting down most
turbines, and the relatively large volume of oil contained in
large turbine systems. Naturally the anti-foam protection is
there to reduce air entrapment in the oil.
Contains
Anti-Wear Additives
Outstanding anti-wear additives contribute to
TURBINE OIL.
It takes special additives with the possibility of water
contamination. Today's turbines place tremendous stress on the
metal moving parts. Good anti-wear and EP properties are much
more necessary today than those that met the turbine
requirements years ago.
Sheds
Water
Water
separation is extremely important.
TURBINE OIL has excellent
demulsibility properties to shed entrapped water. Common sources
of water contamination are:
|
*Steam from leaking shaft
joints or the shaft seals of turbine driven pumps.
*Condensation from humid
air in the oil reservoir or bearing pedestals.
*Water leaks in oil coolers. |
Acts As A
Coolant
TURBINE
OIL has excellent properties to
maintain the coolant requirements of the system. A turbine's
bearings have oversized passages and grooves to permit the flow
of considerably more oil than is required for lubrication alone.
The
additional oil flow has been engineered to remove heat caused by
friction, as well as the heat conducted to the bearings along
the shaft from the hot parts of the turbine. In some turbines
the temperature of the oil leaving the bearings is as high as
180°F. The flow of oil must be considerable to cool the
bearings, provide lubrication, and maintain proper operating
temperatures.
Versatile
TURBINE
OIL is extremely versatile. In
addition to the marine, railroad, and power plant uses for this
product, it has been used for many other applications such as a
hydraulic oil, spindle oil, chain and cable lubricant, general
plant lubricant, as well as lubrication for non-EP type gear
reducers. The product has been applied through the mist systems,
sight feed oilers, and circulating systems. |
