Turbine Lubrication Unit Maintenance in Power Generation Plants

A hydraulic lubrication unit is needed for regular lubrication of the turbine system, which is critical in power generation plants. Periodic maintenance of this lubrication unit is also very important.

The Turbine Lubrication Unit Maintenance and Control of the Following Parts are carried out by Hidroman.

1. Control of hydraulic system pump pressure values

2. Hydraulic Lubrication Unit Oil analysis

3. On-site Hydraulic Oil particle counting

4. Pressure and flow measurements of hydraulic valve groups

5. Hydraulic valve groups maintenance

6. Desiccant controls on hydraulic unit

7. Hydraulic Oil Leakage Check

The operation and maintenance of the turbine plant must be done properly in accordance with the established rules and maintenance instructions. The equipment used in the turbine plant should be maintained periodically. It should be ensured that no external factors occur that would make it difficult to take the water going to the turbine from the forebay with a penstock. Daily checks can be made for this, but if the water that will feed the turbine does not carry much foreign matter (leaves, branches, etc.), weekly or monthly maintenance may be sufficient. In order to protect the turbine and generator system from sudden mechanical stresses, sudden large load start and drop should be avoided. (For example, when a large number of heaters, lamps, engines, etc. are running, not all of them are the same, they should be started with an interval of about 10 seconds.) In addition, lubricating the mechanical parts and bearings in general, adjusting the amplitudes of the belts if there is a belt system, and monthly water level in the battery if a battery system is used. should be checked as
