Hydroelectric power plants are an inseparable part of sustainable energy generation. In terms of design, hydro turbines differ considerably from steam or gas turbines In terms of design, hydro turbines differ considerably from steam or gas turbines In addition, it must be taken into account that hydropower plants have a considerably longer service life compared to conventional power plants and must be conceptually oriented to the local conditions of the resource “water”. Depending on the turbine type, age and power class, the structural design is also highly variable.
The lubricants used, as well as the oil monitoring concept, must take into account the sometimes considerable technical differences. This seminar will show you how oil analyses – correctly applied – are a reliable tool for plant monitoring in hydropower plants. The rich number of practical examples from diverse application areas guarantees a high transferability of the imparted knowledge into your daily practice.
In this seminar you will learn …
- How lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids work in principle
- Which oil types are used in which types of power plants and why
- What advantages bio-oils deliver and where their use makes sense
- How professional oil monitoring works and helps them increase oil life, reliability and availability
- How professional lubricant handling avoids recurring practical problems (e.g., an increased tendency to deposit)
Target Group
- Skilled employees, managers and executives working in the field of service and maintenance
- Technical consultants and sales personnel from oil companies
- Technical specialists and managers from oil-related services, e.g. oil maintenance or oil change service
- Technical specialists and managers from turbine manufacturers
