What are the main uses of Turbine Oil No. 46?
2 Answers
Here are the main uses of Turbine Oil No. 46: 1. No. 46 turbine oil has excellent rust and corrosion prevention properties, protecting equipment and avoiding rust. 2. It has good oxidation stability, good air release properties, anti-foaming performance, and demulsibility, resulting in a long service life for the oil. 3. It is suitable for lubrication and sealing in power generation, large and medium-sized ships, and other industrial steam turbine units, gas turbine units, and hydro turbine units. Additional information: Here is an introduction to turbine oil: 1. The meaning of turbine oil: Turbine oil, also known as turbine lubricating oil, typically includes steam turbine oil, gas turbine oil, hydro turbine oil, and oxidation-resistant turbine oil. 2. The function of turbine oil: It is mainly used for lubricating the sliding bearings, reduction gears, governors, and hydraulic control systems of turbine oil and related motive units. The main functions of turbine oil are lubrication, cooling, and speed regulation.
I used to work with this oil frequently when maintaining equipment at the factory. Turbine Oil No. 46 is primarily used for lubricating and cooling the bearing systems of steam turbines, gas turbines, and hydro turbines. It's particularly suitable for high-temperature, high-speed operation scenarios due to its moderate viscosity, strong oxidation resistance, and excellent anti-foaming properties, which help protect bearings and reduce wear. Our factory's power generator units use it—it not only dissipates frictional heat but also isolates air to prevent oxidation. It's also very compatible with hydraulic control systems and gearboxes. Just remember, viscosity requirements vary by equipment manufacturer, so always check the technical manual before changing the oil.
