Reply to "New Turbine Oil Foaming"

vsssarmaMember

Nice discussion going on here.

Turbine Oils are not Group 1 base oils. They are mostly Group 2 base oils. Important characteristics of turbine oils are: Demulsibility; Air release value; Viscosity Index and Oxidation Stability.

Best thing to do is to use the manufacturer's recommended grades. Another good thing is to see if they can be cleaned continuously. Removal of external dirt and moisture will reduce problems greatly.

Well formulated turbine oils do not contain the Silicone antifoam additive because that will upset the air release value. Lubrizol makes LZ 889D type of additive which is a polymer that while reducing foaming doesn't adversely affect the air release value.
