What is turbine lube oil conditioner?

It is oil used to lubricate the bearings on the turbine. Typically designated AW32 oil, it is a high purity clear amber 300 ssu viscosity mineral oil with anti-wear additives. It is also used to operate the turbine's controls, such as the governor, trip mechanisms and admission valves.


Is jacking oil required when stopping steam turbines?

jacking oil is not required when stopping the steam turbine


What relationship exsists between turbine and generator?

A turbine is powered by such things as steam, burning gas or oil, water, or wind. The turbine is a type of engine, which might be thought of as a more efficient choice than a gas engine or reciprocating steam engine for doing the same job. The turbine could do many things ranging from powering a vehicle such as a helicopter, a ship, a locomotive, or a piece of equipment such as a centrifuge, a pump, or a generator. When a turbine powers a generator, the generator makes electricity.


How is a windmill better than oil or gas?

The reason that wind energy is better than oil or gas is because it is a renewable resource. While there is a limited amount of oil on this planet, there is an unlimited supply of wind. In addition, the damage to the environment is much smaller with wind power, due to the fact that there are no emissions from, say, burning materials.


How is energy produce from crude oil?

Energy is produced from oil (or any other fossil fuel) by a simple process. First, they burn the oil to heat a tub of water. The water turns into steam, which travels through pipes to reach a turbine. The turbine is hooked up to a generator. When the steam reaches the turbine, it turns the blades, which sends an electric current to the generator. This generates electricity.

Why does wind produce electricity?

We have an unlimited amount of wind so it is an ingenious way of harvesting power so that we dont use up all the earth's natural resources such as oil. We can use the wind to turn a turbine which produces kinetic energy.


What are the advantages of generating electricity by wind turbines compared with generating it at an oil-fired power station?

wind turbines have blades like the propellors on the first aeroplanes wind turbines with blades convert 20-30% of wind energy into electricity but this new turbine can convert 70%.
