I am going to add additives to my steam turbine oils,
but i need to make sure it is compatible with my current oil,
The oil i'm currently using is:
SHELL TURBO OILS T32
Anyone knows what are the most common ingredients inside it?

Contact your technical support of your oil supplier before you do so.

Why would you input additional additives? If the oil is at the end of its RUL, why not sweeten with additional T32 until you can do a full flush?
How will you verify proper distribution of only additives?

Turbine Oils are base oil specific . The choice of Base oil is dependent on the oil's inherent demulsifying properties, and often called as TOBs. Or Turbine Oil Base Stock.
Turbine Oils have a very small/tiny dosage of additives of the R&O Type, i.e. Rust inhibitor and Oxidation inhibitors.
Due to nature of steam turbine application, varnish build up or contamination are two main cause of its deterioration.
Rather than introduce additives, you may well take up multiple rounds of filtration and reach a state of NAS 4 or similar cleanliness levels. Finally, a top up with fresh oil should largely suffice for meeting the existing operating conditions.

I have the same question.
Looks very nice but it is more suitable for the upcoming winter, I will refer to it gradually, thanks @quordle
very insightful, thank you.
There are many good ideas and points of view. I think you've found a very important fact, so I signed up for your RSS feed to stay in the know @age of war
Steam turbine oils are essential for the efficient and reliable operation of steam turbines, ensuring lubrication, cooling, and protection of the machinery. The most common ingredients in steam turbine oils include base oils, which provide the primary lubrication; antioxidants, which prevent oil degradation; rust and corrosion inhibitors, which protect metal surfaces; anti-foaming agents, which reduce foam formation; and demulsifiers, which separate water from oil. Understanding these components is crucial for maintaining turbine performance and longevity. For more detailed information on steam turbine oils and their components, seek assignment help from experts to enhance your knowledge and academic success.
Common ingredients in steam turbine oils often include antioxidants and anti-corrosion agents. Similar to the FNAF games, attention to detail and proper maintenance are important to ensure performance and durability.
When looking for common components in steam turbine oil, especially Shell Turbo T32, it's essential to consider the base oil and any additives. Typically, these oils are mineral-based and may contain additives for oxidation stability, corrosion protection, and foam control. For compatibility with your current oil, reviewing the manufacturer's specifications or contacting Shell directly would be advisable. Retro bowl
