Pressurized Lubrication
Pressurized lubrication is a feature provided on Sleeve/Tilt bearing arrangement only. A separate lubrica-
tion oil skid is required to provide the pressurized lubrication to the inlet connections on the bearing
housings. The lubrication oil skid shall be turned on and providing positive oil flow to the bearing hous-
ings prior to pump operation.

Oil volume requirements for sleeve/tilt pad type bearings
The sleeve/tilt pad type bearing is a pressurized lubrication system where oil is flowed into the bearing.
The required system flow rate is dependent upon the bearing size and shaft speed.
5.5.2 Lubricating-oil requirements
Oil quality requirements
Use a high-quality turbine oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors with rated viscosity shown below at 38°C |
100°F.
