2. Regular inspections:
(1) Monthly inspections
Measure the insulation resistance. The value should be more than 1 mega ohm. If resistance starts to fall
rapidly even with an initial indication of over 1 mega ohm, this may be an indication of trouble and repair
work is required.
(2) Every 6 months
Check the mechanical seal every six months. If you
notice water mixed with the oil or cloudy texture of
the oil, these may be indications of a defective
mechanical seal requiring replacement. The
service life of the mechanical seal can be
prolonged by replacing the oil in the mechanical
seal chamber once a year.
When replacing oil, inject turbine oil No. 32 (ISO VG-32) until it overflows (Fig. 5). Be certain to dispose of oil
residue properly.
Above replacement schedule is based on normal operating conditions.
