INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS TURBIN OIL FORMULATIONS ON THEIR COMPATIBILITY

Abstract

After the turbine oil life cycle has been completed, it is necessary to replace it. The new generation of turbine oils is formulated with Group II and/or III base oils and a package of ashless additives. Such oils are often incompatible with conventional types of turbine oil. The new oil in the system also has the ability to dissolve residual deposits and varnishes. Replacing turbine oil that has been in the system for a long time or adding new oil to the system therefore has some risks. This paper will present the results of testing/testing the compatibility of turbine oil (used oil) formulated with a classic base (Group I base oil and additive package) and a new turbine oil formulated with an ashless additive package and a mixture of Group II and III base oils (new generation oil).
