Allowable Water Quantity in Lube Oil

sshaukatMember

Using an aqua sensor we have found that it takes around 540 ppm of water to saturate Teresso 46 oil to 100% at 42 degree C. The recommmendation for maximmum allowable amount of water from our steam turbine OEM is 1000 ppm. This means that if we follow their recommmendation, we will be running our turbine with free or emulsified water in its lube oil.

Can somebody comment on our finding and the OEM recommmendation?
