Purpose of Lubrication System

•Lubricate
Reduces Friction by creating a thin film(Clearance)
between moving parts (Bearings and journals)
Purpose of Lubrication System

•Absorbs shock
When heavy loads are imposed on the bearings, the
oil helps to cushion the load.

•Absorbs heat from bearings

This heat may be generated due to friction within the
bearings.
 VISCOSITY
Viscosity is a measure of oil’s resistance to flow.
•A low viscosity oil is thin and flows easily.

•A high viscosity oil is thick and flows slowly.

•As oil heats up it becomes less viscous .

•If the oil very low thin ,It will be forced out, resulting in
rapid wear.

•If the oil is too thick, it will flow very slowly, especially
when oil is cold ,resulting in rapid wear.
 VISCOSITY
Viscosity Index is the measure of how much the
viscosity of an oil changes with temperature.

Viscosity number is set by SAE (Society of Automotive

Engineers)

 LUBE OIL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
•Two coolers are used to cool the lube oil.

•To increase temp - bypass coolers

•To decrease temp - pass through cooler

VAPOUR EXTRACTION SYSTEM
• Two VAPOUR
Extractor fans

• Maintains NEGATIVE
pressure inside MOT

• Removes oil fumes

from the MOT
 MAIN OIL CENTRIFUSE
• Required for removing moisture from the
turbine oil.

• A portion of oil is continuously circulated

through the centrifuge to remove the moisture
from the oil.
