SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE
This recommended practice is applicable to steam
turbine-generator units and provides recommended practices for the
design of the oil system.
The oil system is defined as that complex which utilizes and
circulates the turbinegenerator oil. The oil system generally
includes high pressure, bearing, control, generator seal and drain
systems. The system may also include the supply and return lines
for a boiler feed pump and hydraulic coupling.
The purpose of this recommended practice for turbine generator
oil systems is the attainment of the following objectives:
Lubrication, control and sealing will be performed
satisfactorily by the oil mutually acceptable to the parties
concerned.
Installation, cleaning and flushing will be facilitated.
Satisfactory system cleanliness can be maintained.
Safe practices are observed.
