The oil should not be circulated in the system if its temperature is below 10℃ at the
oil reservoir. Also, if the temperature of the bearing oil supply cannot be regulated to
produce a bearing oil temperature of less than 82℃ at the discharge of the hottest
bearing, the unit should be tripped until the oil temperature can be reduced and
maintained in the proper temperature range.
The unit recommend ISO VG 32 turbine oil for used, the table as follow shown the
physical and chemistry character of ISO VG 32 turbine oil.

is stored. The reservoir is usually located below the centerline of the turbine-generator
unit. One manhole covers- Safety bars traverse the covers and are secured to mounting
blocks welded to the reservoir shell. The bottom of the reservoir contains a Hanged
drain hole which is plugged during shipment but which may be connected to the
purchaser’s piping system at his discretion. From the reservoir, the oil pumps furnish
the required amounts of oil to satisfy the various oil requirements, and since the
lubrication system is a closed system, all oil is returned to the reservoir. Mounted on
the top of the reservoir are the auxiliary pump (AC motor driven) , emergency
pump( DC motor driven) and HP startup pump(AC motor driven, sometime it will also
named hydrogen seal oil backup pump), vapor extraction system, level gauge, level
alarms(high level & low level), temperature switch, etc. Inside the reservoir, the piping
connects the discharges of the various pumps to the appropriate oil header supply
piping. Check valves prevent backflows from the system. An oil ejector mounted
below the oil level in the main oil pump discharge piping, utilizes high pressure oil to
pick up oil from the reservoir when the unit is operating at or near rated speed.
Strainers on the oil ejector intake, the bearing oil pump suction, and in the return
piping help to keep contaminants out of the system. The reservoir is provided with
access openings in the top and with a drain in the bottom.
