Lubrication System For Power Sector

Lubrication is a prime requirement for all machines, equipments or plants as it adds to the life and efficiency of the machine by reducing wear and tear of parts. The lubricating oil forms a film between moving parts, which results in lesser friction, and correspondingly lesser heat generation in the machine, thereby keeping the working temperature of machine parts safe operating limits. Wear and tear of parts is thus greatly reduced resulting in fewer breakdowns, greater machine utility, lower maintenance cost and longer machine life.
 
Oil lubrication systems may be classified into two major categories, viz., oil injection type and oil circulation type. In oil circulatory type lubrication systems, which is widely used in power plants ( Turbines)  the oil is continuously supplied to various moving parts and bearings. In such systems, oil acts both as lubricant and also as coolant by earning away heat generated in the bearings/moving parts. The oil after lubrication is returned to reservoir either directly or through filters. These systems are large, employing reservoirs of capacity ranging from few hundreds of liters to thousands of liters. The pumps are heavy-duty, intended for continuous running, with flow rate ranging from few tens of LPM to few thousands of LPM. These systems are used for plants like cement, sugar, paper, power generation, steel as well as heavy-duty machineries.
