Embodiment Construction

[0071] As indicated above, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to lubricating oils in turbomachinery. More specifically, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to methods for analyzing lubricating oils using test data extracted from the oil, the test data excluding measured particle count data.

[0072] As mentioned herein, it can be difficult to effectively monitor the quality of lubricating oil in a turbine system, which can lead to undesired degradation of the oil and ultimately damage to turbines that rely on such oil for lubrication.

[0073] Various embodiments of the present application include systems, computer program products, and related methods to analyze lubricating oil using test data extracted from the oil that does not include measured particle count data, as compared to conventional methods. That is, methods according to various embodiments of the present application are configured to analyze lubricating oil without particle count data measured fr...

Abstract

Various embodiments of the invention include a system having: at least one computing device, the at least one computing device configured to monitor a lubrication oil by performing actions including:determining an initial ideal remaining life for the lubrication oil; determining a temperature-based remaining life for the lubrication oil based upon a temperature measurement of the lubrication oil;calculating a contamination factor of the lubrication oil based upon a non-particle count sample of the lubrication oil; determining an updated ideal life remaining for the lubrication oil based uponthe contamination factor, the initial ideal remaining life, and the temperature-based remaining life; and determining an actual life remaining for the lubrication oil based upon the updated ideal life remaining and an actual life lost for the lubrication oil.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to turbomachine systems. More specifically, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to the analysis of lubricating oil in turbine systems, such as gas turbines or steam turbines. Background technique [0002] Turbomachines, such as gas turbines and / or steam turbines, use lubricating oils to reduce the coefficient of friction between machine parts. While many turbines are delivered and installed by the manufacturing and / or selling entity, these turbines are frequently managed (during their useful life) by the customer purchasing the turbine. In order to ensure that the lubricating oil in the turbine maintains a sufficient level of quality to provide lubrication, customers typically aspirate a sample of the oil and send it to a laboratory for testing. However, some customers aspirate oil samples inappropriately, potentially compromising the accuracy of the test. Other customers do not draw samples freque...
