How does contamination affect turbine oil and how can it be prevented?

Contamination introduces harmful substances that:

Increase Wear: Particles cause abrasive damage.
Promote Corrosion: Water and acids corrode metal surfaces.
Reduce Lubrication Efficiency: Contaminants alter oil properties.
Prevention strategies:

Seal Integrity: Ensuring seals prevent ingress.
Filtration Systems: Using high-efficiency filters.
Proper Handling: Avoiding contamination during oil transfer.
Regular Monitoring: Detecting contamination early through oil analysis.
