From the moment a turbine lubricant is put into service, it begins to chemically breakdown – the result of oxidation. The demands of routine turbine operation and growing dissolved oxidation material wears on the partnership.

When measuring and analyzing wear debris, the first step is to understand what the elements are and the likelihood of their source. Turbine oils often return a blank slate in terms of elements, so when you begin to find wear debris in the oil, it can be easily deduced that it is from either contamination or machine wear.

Lube Tip
|
|
|
|
Oxidation drastically affects the quality of a fluid. The following conditions promote the oxidation process:
* Presence of oxygen (aeration)
* Mechanical agitation
* High pressure
* High temperature
* Catalysts (water and metal particles)
Metals and various mechanical impurities act as catalysts in accelerating oxidation. The smaller the particle, the greater the surface area represented in the population and the more effective the catalyst.
