Lubrication of GAS TURBINES
Abstract
MAKERS OF STATIONARY GAS TURBINES for industrial uses claim that the lubricating cost of medium‐size power units ranges between 1 and 2% of the fuel costs. Comparative figures for average Diesel engines are 5 to 10%. These savings have an effect on the total running cost economy. Detailed oil consumption figures from industrial gas turbine operators have not yet been disclosed and for similar reasons, it is not possible in this survey to discuss individual design features of all units which comprise the various lubricating systems.
