摘要 |
The invention is embodied in a closed-cycle lubrication oil system used during turbine start-up to provide both lift oil and hydraulic oil from one system using a single variable volume pump that supplies fluid at a high pressure for lift oil requirements. The pump discharge pressure is reduced, through a pressure regulating/reducing valve, down to hydraulic system demands. During steady-state gas turbine operation, the system provides only a flow of hydraulic oil to position the inlet guide vanes and gas valves as required by the gas turbine controls logic. During gas turbine shut-down, the system again meets both lift oil and hydraulic oil requirements. A second pump is advantageously incorporated in the preferred embodiments of the system to provide 100% redundancy in providing either lift or hydraulic oil.
