5.5.7 Lubricate the bearings with pressurized lubrication
Pressurized lubrication requires a separate lubrication oil skid to provide cool, clean oil to the bearing
housings. The lubrication oil skid shall be in operation to ensure oil flow into the bearings prior to pump
operation. The pump may have been supplied with orifices or valves to control inlet flow to each bearing.
Refer to the General Arrangement drawing for additional detail.
1.
Prepare the lubrication oil skid according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2.
Connect the lubrication oil skid supply lines to the bearing housing connections as shown in
