Filtration removes contaminants like dirt, metal particles, and moisture from the oil. Contaminants can cause abrasive wear, corrosion, and blockage of lubrication pathways, leading to reduced efficiency or catastrophic failure. Regular filtration ensures the oil remains clean, preserving its lubricating properties and protecting turbine components from damage, thereby enhancing reliability and extending equipment life.
