Types of turbine oil include:
Mineral Turbine Oils: Derived from refined petroleum, suitable for general-purpose turbines operating under standard conditions.
Synthetic Turbine Oils: Made from synthetic base stocks, offering superior performance in extreme temperatures and high-load conditions.
Hydraulic Turbine Oils: Formulated for turbines that use oil as a hydraulic fluid in control systems.
Fire-Resistant Turbine Oils: Contain additives to reduce flammability, used in environments where fire risk is high.
Applications vary based on turbine type (steam, gas, hydroelectric) and operating conditions. Selecting the appropriate oil ensures optimal performance and equipment protection.
