Turbine Oils
Turbines are often the forgotten force in power generation. Yet, an efficient supply of energy is what enables industry to move forward in establishing new manufacturing chains and maintaining them.
Turbine oils have been specially developed to enable turbines to perform optimally and protect them from wear. This is especially important when a harsh operating environment, something that is common among industries that intensively require energy, makes it problematic to keep the power flowing.
For example, vital components could be subjected to anything from heavy loads to high temperatures. This is why it’s critical to pick a suitable turbine oil for your equipment, so it can perform precisely as it was intended to.
The extreme operating temperatures within circulation systems of large gas turbines is the most common cause of turbine oil failure occurring prematurely due to oxidation. Fortunately, leading lubrication manufacturers like Mobil, Petronas and Shell produce a range of products designed to answer the industry challenges faces by steam, hydro and gas turbines that offer exceptional oxidation stability and ensure reliable operation.

These premium-quality turbine oils are typically formulated from paraffinic base oils that are solvent-refined. Carefully selected additives are then selected and included with properties that offer antioxidant, anti-foam, and anti-corrosion capabilities by enhancing the oil’s inherent qualities and ensuring they can deliver maximum active service life. Circulating and turbine oils are designed to have a naturally high viscosity index and deliver outstanding performance in a wide range of applications, from gearboxes to industrial circulating systems.
Turbine oils are available suited to a wide range of different applications. Products designed for industrial steam, gas turbines, geared turbines, hydroelectric turbines, and specific systems like combined cycle operations and dedicated circulation systems where high-quality turbine oil is required. Oils are also available that are recommended for use with turbo compressors and axial and centrifugal pumps.
Premium-grade turbine and circulating oils can offer extended lubricant service life. The superior oxidative and thermal stability they offer can guarantee longer oil life, even when severe operating conditions are an everyday occurrence. Using the latest innovations, these expertly formulated oils can provide superior deposit and varnish control, keeping machinery clean of unwanted contaminants and operating efficiently.
The best brands producing turbine oil also engineer lubricants with advanced air release properties, excellent anti-foaming performance and outstanding rapid water separation. As a result, equipment using these oils can ensure problem-free active service, avoiding disruptive downtime and maintenance, increasing productivity, and lowering operational costs for operations.
Like with most other lubricants, turbine oil technology has advanced over time, and choosing an advanced turbine oil can bring a number of benefits.
Fire resistant performance at high temperatures
Elevated temperatures in turbines can cause problems and present a fire hazard for some oils, but an advanced turbine oil will not only withstand thermal stress, it will actually thrive among it.
Protection from heavy loads
Cyclic peak-loading and other severe peak-loading conditions are not a problem for advanced turbine oils from brands like Shell and Mobil, because their capacity to carry extreme loads will ensure reliable performance.
Enhanced protection against wear
Wear on components can cause turbines to fail, but a good turbine oil will protect against this, allowing turbines to run reliably.
Longer drain intervals
Even scheduled downtime comes at a cost. Fortunately, a good turbine oil can reduce the need for oil replacement by simply lasting longer, even when equipment is operated continuously.
Better system efficiency
To get the most from your equipment, a good turbine oil will have excellent filterability and rapid air release to enable it to perform optimally in various conditions.
Protection from corrosion and deposits
Corrosion and deposits can form on components like bearings and filters, potentially leading to problems down the road, but a good turbine oil will feature an additive package that seeks to minimise the chances of this occurring.
Finding the right turbine oil may seem a challenging prospect, but finding one that puts performance and protection foremost will mean that your modern turbine equipment continues to function just as it should.
