Lubricating oil high-level tank
Thread Content
For the high-level oil sump of the pyrolysis gas compressor lubricant, why is the pipeline that carries the lubricant to the turbine located at the bottom, while the pipeline that carries it to the compressor is located in the middle? Could colleagues come and discuss this?
It is estimated that the turbine should be protected first. The reason is unknown. \ud83d\ude2d
This is a setup commonly used in low-viscosity oil stations, with an additional accumulator in place. It is recommended to understand the working principle of the lubrication system. The principle of this high-level fuel tank is that it begins to supply oil to the system as soon as the pump starts, while also filling the high-level fuel tank with oil. Once it is filled, the main pipe pressure of the entire system can reach the required value. Then, if oil return can be observed through the oil return sight glass, it proves that the tank is full. When the oil pump stops supplying oil due to a power outage, and the main engine is idling, the high-level oil tank loses its supply pressure; the oil then flows back to the main lubrication system pipeline thanks to the difference in height, reaching various lubrication points. The key point is that when the oil pump is unable to generate pressure, the oil from the high-level tank flows back to the check valve at the oil pump’s outlet, which then closes, allowing the oil to be delivered to various lubrication points. It may seem that the pipeline leads downward, but based on the principle of a \"U\"-shaped tube, this tank of oil flows directly to various lubrication points. It can ensure the lubricating oil required when the engine is idling. No drawings available; the description is verbose for reference only.
It’s off-topic; it’s not an analysis of the function of the high-level oil tank. It is to analyze the reasons for the different heights of the lubricating oil outlet positions for the turbines and compressors.

Those who are trying to figure something out by guessing shouldn’t give their opinions; sorry about that :) After careful consideration of the question, I’m not sure what the relationship between turbines and compressors is; please clarify. At the same time, I’m also waiting for someone more knowledgeable to interpret what you mean :)
One is the lubricating oil pressure, and the other is to give priority to protecting the prime mover, or in other words, the turbine
Senior: \"Turbine\" is a loanword, just like \"sofa\"; it originates from Greek and originally meant \"power.\" Over time, as the concept evolved, it came to refer to power generation units. There are also many types; a steam turbine is what we refer to as a turbine. A compressor is a machine that compresses gases, and a turbine serves as its power system. Just as we commonly refer to it as a pump in daily life, it actually includes a motor component as well.
If it’s convenient, it’s recommended that the original poster take photos – it will be more straightforward and will also help others assist you in resolving your doubts!
Hehe, I have been interested in the term “turbine” since I started working. I found out later. What I don’t understand is this: if you use foreign terms, then you should use the same terms in those languages. In each sentence related to a particular issue, you should first refer to it as a compressor and then as a turbine; it doesn’t seem right to do it otherwise, and that’s why I have doubts.
In the city, people are called Mike and Mary, but back in the village they’re called Er Gou and San Ya Tu… The key thing is *habit; you just have to adapt to local customs.
