Characteristics of the Turbine Oil
Physical &chemical stability
To provide adequate lubrication to the turbine bearings, to

avoid friction, to cool the heat generated in the bearing
High oxidation stability in the face of moisture, air and

impurities
Air release property
Demulsifying property
Anti-rusting
Stable viscosity over the operating temp range

Turbine oils
For small turbine operating at high speeds very much above
3000 rpm, the viscosity grade 46 base-oils are used. In
Morupule-B power station, this grade of oil is used for Electro-
hydraulic Governing.
While large turbines operating at 3000 rpm, viscosity grade 32

base-oils are used. In Morupule-B power station, this grade of
oil is used for turbine lubrication.
Oil companies use additives for imparting and strengthening

the required characteristics of the oil
As such, the oils of different companies may differ in their

micro constituents and should not be mixed
LP Protection System
Lube oil enters the piston chamber of emergency trip device

through reset & test group valve (1YV) to accept reset and test
signals. Turbine pressure oil goes into the cavity chamber via
oil guide ring through reset & test group valve (2YV), to accept
2YV control signals. Manual trip mechanism, mechanical trip
solenoid, and trip & isolated group valve are connected with
emergency trip device through mechanical trip mechanism, and
HP trip oil is linked to non-pressurized oil drainpipe of hydraulic
power unit through trip & isolated group valve.

Health of The Turbine Oil
 As the turbine is put into operation, the turbine oil
receives its loading.
Each & every molecule gets heated on cooling

the bearings and must receive heat from the
bearing.
Similarly, debris from the bearings as well as

water vapour from the turbine glands will enter
with every cycle of operation
Also, the air entrapped with each circulation has

to be removed
Air in Turbine Oil
Agitation of lubricating oil with air in equipment,

such as bearings, couplings, gears, pumps, and oil
return lines, may produce a dispersion of finely
divided air bubbles in the oil.
If the residence time in the reservoir is too short to

allow the air bubbles to rise to the oil surface, a
mixture of air and oil will circulate through the
lubricating oil system. This may result in an inability
to maintain oil pressure (particularly with centrifugal
pumps), incomplete oil films in bearings and gears,
and poor hydraulic system performance or failure.
Demulsification of turbine oil
The ability of lubricating oil to separate water

and resist emulsion is an important
performance characteristic for application
involving water contamination and turbulence
Emulsion acts as a catalyst for oxidation and
causes foaming in oil and hydraulic controls
start malfunctioning.
Poor water separability of lube oil can lead to
: Rusting & Corrosion, Cavitation, and
premature mechanical failure of bearing.
High moisture content in turbine oil, (300ppm)
is not acceptable
Thick film Lubrication
For Steam Turbine Main Bearings,

Bearing pressure, p= 0,5 – 2 Mpa
Co-Eff. Of friction, µ= 0,002-0,016 and,
Bearing Modulus,µ.n/D= 25,0 x 10-8
Nb : For thick film lubrication, minͫ value of modulus is = 10-9
Hydrodynamic Lub. –journal bearing
Water Separability Test
40 ml of test oil is heated to test temperature of 130°F (or

180°F) as 40 ml of distilled water is gradually added to a
graduated cylinder containing the mixture. Once the contents
reach test temperature, a stir rod is lowered into the cylinder to
stir the mixture at 1,500 rpm for 5 minutes. At constant
temperature, the contents are left undisturbed, the separation
of the oil and water is recorded at one minute intervals for the
first ten minutes, then at 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 minutes.
This test method provides a guide for determining the water
separation characteristics for oils. This test was developed
specifically for steam turbine oils having viscosities of 32 to
150 cSt at 40°C. This is the method recommended for use
with synthetic oils.

HP and LP Bypass
 High Pressure bypass (HPBP) and Low Pressure bypass (LPBP) are
primarily meant to enable boiler operation independent of the turbine.
 Opening of these bypass will ensure minimum steam flow through the
super heater and reheater tubes during unit start-up, low load operation
and sudden unloading of the unit.
 These can also be utilized for building up of steam parameters quickly
before starting of the turbine rolling.
 After boiler lit up till the opening of turbine steam stop and control valves,
there will not be any steam demand from the turbine and therefore virtually
no steam flow through the boiler steam tubes.
 This condition will lead to starvation and there by overheating of super
heater and reheater tubes, a highly dangerous situation responsible for the
premature failure of tubes.
 Similar situations may also arise when the turbine trips from loaded
condition, with the boiler remains in service.
HP and LP Bypass
HP and LP Bypass
 By providing HP and LP bypass, and alternative steam path is ensured

so that boiler operation can be continued without stressing or
damaging the steam tubes, during startup, low load periods or even
during turbine trip.
 HPBP bypass the HP turbine and dumps steam into the Cold Reheat
(CRH) line, inlet of the re heater.
 LPBP bypasses IP and LP turbine and dumps steam into the
condenser. The capacity of HP/LP bypass (MBPS) is 60% of BMCR
steam flow.
 Timely operation of HP during sudden unloading or tripping of the
turbine reduces the chances of opening of boiler safety valves at raised
steam pressures.
 It also helps to maintain sufficient steam pressure in the CRH line for
the auxiliary steam supply purpose during low load operation (if
auxiliary steam is taken from CRH)

Controls in HP BP
Steam Pressure Control
This control is used for maintaining the steam pressure

ahead of HPBP at any desired value and can be operated in
MANUAL or AUTO modes. MS pressure at HPT inlet is the
set reference value.
If the controller is in AUTO, HPBP steam pressure should be

adjusted in such a way that under no condition HPBP should
close below 20 – 25%. This minimum HPBP opening along
with proper opening in LPBP will ensure minimum steam
flow through the boiler steam tubes.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• Temperature controller governs the operation of spray valves. Spray
system valves can be operated in MANUAL or AUTO modes. HP BP
down stream steam temperature (CRH line) is the set reference value
for Auto operation.
• Spray water for HPBP is taken from BFP discharge. Spray block valve
is used for maintaining required water pressure in the spray header and
this pressure can be set using a separate controller.
• In the event of fast opening of HPBP steam valves, the Electro

Hydraulic actuators of the spray water system make it possible to open
the spray valves in the shortest minimum period. To offset the time gap
between the temperature measurement and the spray controller
response, a minimum amount of water is in injected immediately after
opening of the HPBP.
HP BP INTERLOCKS
LP BYPASS
LP BYPASS
• As the condenser is associated with LP bypass system,

which is part of the main turbine, the control circuit and
hydraulic section for the LPBP is linked with the Turbine
Governing System, unlike the HP bypass.
• The LP bypass is designed as a combination of electronic

circuit and hydraulic system. An Electro Hydraulic Converter
(EHC) converts the electronic signals into proportional
hydraulic impulse for the operation of steam bypass valves
and spray water valves.
LP BYPASS
• LP Bypass can be operated either in Manual mode or in Auto mode. In
Manual mode, using the increase/decrease push buttons provided on the
console, command can be given to the LPBP Electro Hydraulic Converter
(EHC). In Auto mode, signal for the operation of EHC is electronically
generated by using the HRH pressure as the reference value.
• Changes in the position of the LPBP EHC change the draining rate of two
Follow-up pistons and thereby the downstream pressure of the Follow-up
Pistons varies.
• One set of Signal Oil is used for the operation of Spray Water valves and
the second one is used for the operation of Steam Stop and Control
Valves.
