Turbine Oil Conditioning and filtration has seen dramatic changes over the past 20 years. The old centrifuges and gravity type technologies no longer provide acceptable performance with respect to turbine oil cleanliness. The environmental risks associated with gravity systems and centrifuges are also a major concern. Furthermore, as power plant maintenance and operations personnel are reduced, the labor is not available to maintain and operate centrifuges. As a result, pressure coalescence is now the technology of choice for optimum turbine oil cleanliness. Gulfgate Equipment, with over 40 years in purification design and manufacturing experience, has perfected this technology with the T.O.R.E. Series Turbine Oil Reclaiming Equipment. We offer standard systems along with the ability to offer custom designed systems to fit the customer's needs. The TORE Oil Conditioner is designed to interface with the turbine generator oil system. Oil is drawn into the turbine oil conditioner via an inlet pump from the bottom of the turbine reservoir through an overflow sight glass where particulate and water are removed. After the oil is conditioned, it is returned to the turbine lube oil system to a point most opposite of the suction in order to assure a complete and efficient turnover of the lube oil reservoir. By processing 50% of the reservoir's capacity per hour, particulate levels are maintained at ISO 16/13 or better and water concentrations are maintained at 150 ppm (total water). This technology removes water faster than any other technology available. If drier oil is required, our TOPS system provides the ability to remove water quickly and condition it to 25 PPM |

Principle of OperationThe Inlet Pump draws oil into the System through the suction strainer. The oil then passes through the 6µm@ß=200 absolute microglass filter element. The oil then enters the Two-Stage Filter Separator Vessel, where water is quickly removed by way of a coalescer and separator. The solid contaminants are retained by the Filter Medium and the water settles to the bottom of the Filter above the Deck Plate. The oil then passes through the Separator Element where any remaining water is removed. The water is automatically purged from the system. The dry oil exits the filter separator. After exiting the filter separator, the oil enters the 3 µm@ß=200 absolute microglass polishing filter for final filtration. |
Features & Benefits
|
|
|
|
| Inlet Pump Hand-Off-Auto |
Auto Position - AMBER LIGHT ON In the Auto Position, the Loss of Flow and Loss of Suction Alarms control the Inlet Pump. If either alarm condition should occur, the Inlet Pump will shut down. |
|
Hand Position - AMBER LIGHT ON In the HAND position, the Inlet Pump will run regardless of the above mentioned alarm conditions. The Hand Position should only be used for Initial Start-up. I.e. until flow is established and inlet pressure is obtained, or for trouble shooting. |
|
| Alarm Lights |
Filter/Separator HIGH DELTA P RED LIGHT ON Pressure drop across Filter/Separator Elements has exceeded recommended change out pressure differential of 20 PSI.
|
|
Post Filter HIGH DELTA P RED LIGHT ON Pressure drop across Post-Filter Elements has exceeded recommended change out pressure differential of 20 PSI. |
|
|
Loss of Suction RED LIGHT ON The Loss of Suction Alarm indicates a problem condition with the Inlet Pump obtaining enough oil to its Suction Port to sustain ample discharge pressure. This could be caused by a clogged Inlet Strainer, Inlet Valve being shut off, leaking Inlet Line or Hose, etc. |
|
|
Loss of Flow RED LIGHT ON The Loss of Flow Alarm indicates a substantial drop in rate of flow through the System. System automatically shuts down. |
|
|
Auto Water Drain Open LIGHT ON Indicates water in Filter Separator is dumping when a predetermined level has been reached. When the water level drops to the low point, the Drain Solenoid will close and the Amber Pilot Light will be de-energized. |
