This publication, Turbine Lubrication in the 21st Century, contains papers presented at the symposium of the same name held in June, 2000. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee D-2 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants and its Subcommittee D02.C0 on Turbine Oils.
The papers in this collection cover topics such as:
- fire-resistant turbine lubricants, turbine fires
- phosphate esters
- steam turbines
- gas turbines
- fluid conditioning
- life-cycle costs
- high-temperature requirements
- Air Force Turbine Engine Oil Program
- evolution of turbine oil formulation technology
- antioxidants
- basestocks
- high temperature
- hydrocracked
- iso-dewaxed
- cycloparaffins
- Group II finished products
- oxidation stability
- monitoring remaining useful life
The symposium presented current and future directions for some fluids used in turbine lubrication at the time. Emphasis on European actions to improve the safety of turbine operation was covered by one of the papers.
This STP provides useful background information to engineers and researchers specifying, using, and developing products for use in turbine lubrication applications from aircraft engines to power generation.
