How to deal with water in the oil tank of a gas-turbine unit caused by steam leaking into the lubricating oil due to a leak in the turbine steam seal?
It is said that condensate and water can be drained from the bottom of the fuel tank, but I have only read about it or heard about it in books

If an external vacuum oil filter is installed, it can help reduce emulsification and improve the quality of the oil output~~that would be great~~ In the worst case, one has to change the oil and clean the fuel tank~~
If it can’t be drained completely, some water can be removed
When sampling, clear water can be seen at the bottom of the bottle
The effect isn’t very good; we use a oil filtration machine
We’ve been using it here for ten years, and it works great! Dehydrate only once after a long time!
Where do you take the samples from – from the fuel tank, or behind the filter, or at the oil filling points for the bearings?
We took samples all at the points before the bearing bush oil injection sites; it’s not clear whether they are representative
It seems that taking samples at the oil return point allows problems to be detected earlier~~
