Item Lubrication And Seal Oil Systems.(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984) Salisbury, Roy J.; Stack, Ricardo; Sassos, Marc; Turbomachinery Symposium (13th : 1984)Within the last decade, user requirements for higher process pressures and improved efficiencies have led the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to provide rotating equipment that operates in speed and pressure ranges beyond those previously encountered. The attendant requirements for greater oil flows and higher seal oil pressures, plus demands for sophisticated control and monitoring instrumentation, minimum commissioning time, and a high degree of reliability have made it vital that the lube and seal system be viewed not as a "necessary evil," but as an integral part of the process equipment. Coordination and cooperation between the end user, contractor, and OEM is the key to successful execution of a lube and seal oil system to meet these demands. This means not only a mutual understanding of basic design, installation, and operating requirements, but detailed discussions of a myriad of important topics such as startup, normal shutdown, emergency shutdown, off-design operation, process upsets, installation, testing, shipment, commissioning, maintenance and construction features as well as various design and construction options.
