4 Monitoring during operation
4.1 Lubricating oil pressure
Assuring lubricating oil pressure
Serious damage to engine or property can result from missing or insufficient
lubricating oil supply.
The lubricating oil pressure must be monitored during operation and the
necessary pressure assured at the oil inlet.
For monitoring the lubricating oil pressure, ABB Turbo Systems recommends installing a ma-
nometer "M". If the pressure is controlled electronically, the appropriate signals are to be trig-
gered at the warning and alarm values.
Figure 10: Lubricating oil pressure measuring point
The measuring point M is at the oil supply channel of the high and low-pressure stage that is
not used for the oil supply. The oil pressure ranges at measuring point M are listed below.
Oil pressure at measuring point M
p
oil, in
[bar]
Engine start: Cold oil, admissible for max. 15 minutes 1.3 ... 5.0
Post-lubrication 1.3 ... 2.5
Warning signal: Temporarily admissible (<1 h ) 1.0 ... 1.3
Alarm signal: Not admissible. Stop the engine
immediately
Table 4: Oil pressure range
Metering orifices are installed in the oil inlet of the low-pressure stage and the high-pressure
stage in order to safeguard the oil pressures.
