What is the effect of using dry air as the sealing gas for a booster turbine expander on N32 turbine oil?
Thread Content
Our factory uses nitrogen as the sealing gas for the booster turbine expander. Due to a shortage of nitrogen, we are now switching to dried air (with a dew point of less than minus 65 degrees Celsius) as the sealing gas. I’m not sure whether this will cause severe oxidation of the lubricating oil; I would appreciate advice from those with experience in this area.
No, our factory uses dry air to create a sealed atmosphere.
It won’t happen; there won’t be much contact between air and oil, or maybe no contact at all. Please advise, I’m a beginner~~
Our factory uses expanders from ACD, and dry air has always been used as the sealing gas
No, the dew point is very low and the moisture content is low, so it has no impact on the oil. If the dew point does not meet the requirements, then it’s not certain
