Signs that Turbine Oil Filtration is Required

If any of the following conditions occur, the oil has severely deteriorated and requires immediate shutdown and attention:

1. Abnormal Appearance

Color: Rapidly darkens to dark brown or black (normal is light yellow and translucent).

Transparency: Becomes turbid or opaque.

The timing of turbine oil filtration should be based on the principle of "regular monitoring and treatment as needed." Never wait until the oil has severely deteriorated and affects the safe operation of the equipment before treatment. Through scientific early warning and timely filtration, the service life of the oil and equipment can be significantly extended.
