Steam Turbine Lube Oil Conditioning

TURBO-TOC® Lube Oil Conditioning Systems

Model KT100AH TURBO-TOC® Turbine Oil Conditioner

The flagship of the Kaydon Power Generation Product Line, this unit has become the turbine oil conditioning standard by which all others are judged. It combines particulate and water removal in one skid-mounted, completely automatic system with a 100 gpm process rate. Thanks to the patented (patent #4,892,667) water removal technique and high quality particulate filters, guarantees of 150 ppm of total water and an ISO 16/13 particulate level are realistic. Each unit comes with a standard three year warranty and one free day of start-up training.

Models KL60H, KL30H, KL10H & KL5H TURBO-TOC® Turbine Oil Conditioners

These units are designed similarly to the KT100AH with the same superior performance, but with lower flow rates - 60, 30, 10 and 5. The KL series are ideal for medium and small steam turbines, boiler feed pump turbines, and forced of induced draft fan turbines.

Turbine Oil Reservoir

Longer Turbine Life
Reduced Bearing Failures
Accurate Hydraulic Valve Operation
Fewer Forced Outages
Faster Oil Flush Cycles and Transfer
Less Costly Turbine Rebuilds

*1/2" Vacuum vent valve is normally open, closed only for draining tank. Vent line inlet must be at critical oil level inside tank.

**Model 825 Over Flow Sight (top of inlet pipe/bottom of glass) must be installed slightly higher than critical oil level. (About 6” above C.O.L. is best)

Guaranteed Performance

1. Contaminant Removal
The key to excellent oil cleanliness levels starts with getting all of the contaminant to the turbine lube oil conditioner.

2. Process Rate
Process rates of 50% of reservoir per hour is recommended. This 50% process rate per hour sets us apart from competitor technologies that utilize a lower process rate of approximately 10%. The faster the oil can be processed, the greater the opportunity to remove contaminants.

3. Filter Media Performance
Patented and market tested media guarantees performance to particulate contaminant levels of ISO 16/13 (SAE Class 4) or better in the total contents of the reservoir. Water content less than 150 ppm total water or better based on an influent of 5000 ppm water. Filter elements are available to ISO 15/12 (SAE Class 4).

H2O Water Can Exist in Lube Oil Reservoirs in Three Forms

1. Dissolved Water
Dissolved water contamination is the least harmful of the three types of water. Dissolved water is a function of the environment; Relative humidity, temperature, and oil type will normally determine what dissolved water content will be. Dissolved water does not affect lubricity.

2. Emulsified Water
Emulsified water is water that has been mixed, homogenized and/or mechanically emulsified in the lube oil to form extremely strong emulsions. Strong in the sense that gravity or other devices will not work in separating the two phases. Emulsified water is capable of reducing lubricity.

3. Free Water
Free water is free to separate and settle to the base of the reservoir. Free water is the most damaging, because it can displace Lube oil and allow metal to metal contact of rotating equipment.

Kaydon's elements and systems can dramatically reduce water contamination levels to give higher quality oil lubricity that will extend the life of all critical mechanical parts being lubricated by your oil.
