Turbine oil emulsification refers to the phenomenon that water is mixed into the oil and forms an emulsion, which will seriously affect the lubrication performance of the oil and the operation of the equipment. The following are the main causes of turbine oil emulsification:
- Cause: Cooling water leakage, steam condensation or external water entering the oil system.
- Impact: Water mixes with oil to form an emulsion.
- Cause: After long-term use of oil, antioxidants are consumed, and oil oxidation generates acidic substances and colloids.
- Impact: Oxidation products promote the mixing of water and oil, leading to emulsification.
- Cause: Metal particles, dust and other impurities generated by equipment wear enter the oil.
- Impact: Impurities act as emulsifiers to promote oil-water mixing.
- Cause: Oil temperature fluctuates greatly, especially in low temperature environments, water is more likely to condense.
- Impact: Temperature changes intensify the mixing of oil and water, forming emulsions.
- Cause: The oil itself has poor anti-emulsification performance, or unqualified oil is used.
- Impact: Oil with poor anti-emulsification performance is more likely to mix with water to form an emulsion.
- Cause: Unreasonable oil system design, such as poor oil tank ventilation, improper oil circuit design, etc.
- Impact: Design defects make it difficult to discharge water and accumulate in the oil.
- Cause: Untimely equipment maintenance, such as failure to regularly ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ oil products and clean the oil system, etc.
- Impact: Improper maintenance leads to oil pollution and aging, promoting emulsification.
- Cause: Other chemicals are mixed into the oil, such as cleaning agents, rust inhibitors, etc.
- Impact: Chemicals act as emulsifiers to promote oil-water mixing.
- Cause: Microorganisms grow in the oil and produce metabolites.
- Impact: Microbial metabolites act as emulsifiers to promote oil-water mixing.
- Cause: Vibration and stirring during equipment operation.
- Impact: Mechanical action promotes oil-water mixing and forms emulsion.
1. Prevent moisture intrusion: Check the cooling system regularly to ensure good sealing and prevent moisture from entering the oil system.
2. Regularly ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ oil products: Regularly ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ oil products according to equipment usage to prevent oil aging.
3. Strengthen filtration: Use high-efficiency filters to remove mechanical impurities and moisture in the oil.
4. Control oil temperature: Keep the oil temperature stable to avoid excessive temperature fluctuations.
5. Use high-quality oil products: Choose oil products with good anti-emulsification properties to ensure oil quality.
6. Improve system design: Optimize the oil system design to ensure good ventilation and reasonable oil circuits.
7. Strengthen maintenance: Regularly maintain equipment, clean the oil system, and ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ aging oil products in time.
8. Monitor oil status: Regularly test the cleanliness, moisture content and chemical properties of oil products to detect and deal with problems in time.
Through the above measures, the problem of turbine oil emulsification can be effectively prevented and dealt with, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and extending the service life of the oil.
