What is the function of the lubrication oil system?
1 Answers
The function of the lubrication oil system is to provide lubrication for the support bearings, thrust bearings, and turning gear of the turbine generator, supply backup oil for the hydrogen sealing system, and deliver pressure oil for the mechanical overspeed trip device. It consists of a lubrication oil tank, main oil pump, auxiliary oil pump, oil cooler, oil filter, overhead oil tank, valves, and piping components. The lubrication oil tank serves as the equipment for oil supply, recovery, sedimentation, and storage, and it contains a cooler. The cooler is used to cool the lubrication oil from the oil pump to control the oil temperature entering the bearings. The side wall of the oil tank is equipped with a liquid level indicator to monitor changes in the lubrication oil level within the tank.
