Common issues with water pump lubricants
Thread Content
Our company has a stock of used 46# turbine oil, which is still of good quality. Can it be used on ordinary water pumps?
Can turbine oil that has been taken out of service be regenerated and reused? Used for ordinary water pumps that cannot be used due to insufficient viscosity. It’s best not to use it. Use only in very small amounts; find ways to regenerate it, or contact other units to use it.
46# is fine. The oil stations from our large-scale units that have been removed are now used with ordinary pump systems. However, it is necessary to ensure that the viscosity, acid value, moisture content, and impurities remain within acceptable limits. :Lol, anyway, it won’t save that much money either; it’s better to use new oil.
It’s best not to use it; short-term use is fine as long as all the relevant indicators are met.
Why change? It must be due to unsatisfactory cleanliness or oil analysis. If cost savings are needed, use grease. Previously, grease was made from animal oil and rapeseed oil
It’s fine; just use it however you like. This oil was used by my former employer for many years
