power plant filtersModel KP30
30gpm Lubrication Oil Conditioner for Gas Turbines

The lube oil system for a gas turbine is one of the most important systems in the turbine operation. The oil quality is critical to the life and functionality of the bearings and auxiliary drives. Gas turbine lube oil serves two functions: lubrication and removal of heat from the bearings. The primary contaminants that are found in mineral base oils used with gas turbines are fine particulate and trace amounts of water. Typically, water in the oil is an uncommon problem, except for the effect of condensation. Kaydon designed the KP30 system to meet the cleanliness requirements of today's gas turbine lube oil. If the oil is not properly maintained, an untimely failure due to contaminated oil may possibly result in a forced plant outage. In fact, a 10-year study conducted by the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) recognized turbine bearing and lube system component failures as the leading cause of forced outages for gas turbines.

Description
The KP30, at 30 gpm removes solid contamination via a 2.8 micron absolute (BETA=75) dual phase particulate filter cartridge per ANSI(NFPA) T3.10.8.8RI Multipass test, and removes water with the new Kaydon "Quick-Dry" Element.

Features

  • Removal of particulate smaller than bearing and valve clearances with ANSI(NFPA) 3 micron absolute rated filter elements (KM6036-05)
  • Kaydon "Quick-Dry" water removal filter (KQD6036-5)
  • Optional heater
  • Ideal for phosphate ester oils - no brass or copper
  • Viton Seals
  • Optional portability kit that includes casters, hoses and extension cord

Benefits

  • Longer Oil Life
  • Reduced Oil-Related Equipment Failures
  • Fewer Shutdowns
  • Reduced Sludge and Pipe Scale Formation
  • Reduction of Total Acid Number (TAN)
  • Less Costly Rebuilds

Hydroelectric Turbine Lube Oil Conditioning
 
power plant filtersModel KP10-2
Governor Lube Oil Conditioner

All hydroelectric turbine/generator sets turn at a constant speed. The speed changes depending upon the type of hydroelectric turbine/generator. In order for the generator to produce a 60-cycle alternating current, the optimum speed for each type of hydroelectric turbine must be determined. A device called a governor, a mechanical-hydraulic device, keeps each unit operating at its optimum speed by operating flow-control gates in the waterpassage. Speed control is necessary for the turbine to operate properly, so condition of the oil used with governors is critical. The Kaydon Model KP10-2 Governor Lube Oil Filtration System is designed to keep governor lube oil clean and dry to ensure the proper operation of the governor controls and to eliminate potential failures due to contaminated oil.

Ion Charge Bonding EHC Purification System

Vacuum Distillation & Ion Charge Bonding Technology Purifies & Removes Contamination from all Phosphate Ester Fluids Used with Electrohydraulic Control Systems in Power Plants

Kaydon's FilterDyne Vacuum Distillation and Ion Charge Bonding Technology controls acid number (AN), entrained gas buildup, fluid resistivity, water, and particulate in phosphate ester fluids used in electrohydraulic control systems (EHC systems). Elevated acid levels of greater than .1mg KOH are considered to be excessive for phosphate ester fluid and can lead to short fluid life. AN is the most important parameter to use when evaluating the condition of phosphate ester oil. High AN drastically decreases the fluid resistivity value and this can contribute to electro-kinetic wear of servo valves. In addition, chlorine content in excess of 20ppm, caused by chlorinated solvents, add to the electro-kinetic problem. The fluid resistivity value should be kept at a minimum of 5 x 109 ohm-cm @ 20¾C. Fuller's Earth, activated alumina, and Selexsorb® are conventional methods used in the past to control and neutralize acid number, and for maintaining a high fluid resistivity. These methods are effective in reducing your acid number and maintaining a high fluid resistivity, but each one produces its own negative effects. Fuller's Earth, over time, tends to leach out free metals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron. These free metals become dissolved by the acids in the phosphate ester fluid and can create even higher acid levels. Activated Alumina contains oxidized aluminum sodium. This produces harmful salts that can degrade the fluid and create deposits on metal surfaces. Selexsorb® GT is a patented filter media specifically designed to filter phosphate ester Fyrquel® fluids. The disadvantage of Selexsorb® GT is that it cannot be used with old phosphate ester fluid. This causes a "jelling" of the Selexsorb® GT resulting in clogged filters and the requirement to add new oil.

A Breakthrough - Ion Charge Bonding Technology! Resin beads bond to harmful acid ions to effectively remove them from all phosphate ester fluids. Water content in phosphate ester fluids must be kept to 300ppm or less, to avoid the effect of hydrolysis. The FilterDyne Vacuum Distillation System is capable of maintaining the oil below 300ppm. In addition, solid contamination, especially catalytic metal particles like copper, iron and lead increase the rate at which oxidation occurs. A 3-micron filter element, with a filtration rating of ß3=200, keeps the contamination level controlled. Kaydon's FilterDyne Vacuum Distillation System employs this level of filtration.

The advantages of ion charge bonding are that it has longer life than conventional methods of Fuller's Earth, activated alumina, and Selexsorb®. Ion charge bonding does not release unwanted minerals into the system, and does not remove any additive properties in the phosphate ester fluid. It has the highest adsorption capacity of any adsorptive filter and it can remove dissolved metals that were introduced by other adsorbent media. The ion charge bonding filter allows for more contact time with the phosphate ester fluid, compared to conventional media, which reduces the contact time with the oil.

power plant filtersTeleflo Dial Indicator 816BC
Simple Operation • “Flow - No Flow” Switch
Use for both oil flow and water flow indication

Description
The TELEFLO is a rugged flow switch designed for a wide range of oil and water flow applications. For over 50 years, the TELEFLO flow indicator and switch has provided equipment protection against the loss of flow, protecting thousands of installations against costly equipment damage due to inadequate liquid flow.

Applications:

  • Bearing Lube Oil
  • Gear Box Lube Oil
  • Machine Tool Coolants
  • Cooling Water Lines
  • Seal Water

Features

  • Spring loaded vane actuated by liquid flow is connected to a red dial pointer that indicates a liquid flow reading on a graduated scale.
  • Switch is set by the factory, causing switch operation when the red dial pointer advances 1 1/2 + 1/2 graduations from the rest or no-flow condition.
  • The TELEFLO is a low flow switch. No adjustments are needed if the application requires a low flow switch.
  • After the TELEFLO is in operation, the switch cam may be accessed and adjusted for a different switch setting (most applications do not require any adjustments).
  • Complete liquid flow control is obtained by installing two TELEFLO flow switches in a series. The first in the series is set as a low flow switch, and the second in the series is set as a high flow switch.

Operation
The red dial pointer and switch are located in the head casting. The spring loaded vane is set in motion by liquid flow in the body casting. The vane rotates the red dial pointer and switch cam as liquid flow moves against the vane. The vane shaft connected between the head casting and body casting are sealed with a Viton “O” ring. The removal of the four cover screws permits easy access for connecting to switch terminals or cam adjustments. The factory sets the switch causing switch operation when the red dial pointer advances 1 1/2 + 1/2 graduations from the rest or no-flow condition.

The fluid enters in at the inlet and moves against the spring-loaded vane. The vane shaft connected to the red dial pointer rotates according to the amount of fluid advancing against the vane. The movement of the red dial pointer indicates fluid flow. The vane shaft also operates a cam that activates a SPDT switch.

Specifications

  • Body and head casting: Bronze - 85-5-5-5
  • Finish: Bronze acid dip
  • Dial: Aluminum background with black graduations
  • Pointer: Brass painted red
  • Window: Clear acrylic plastic
  • Switch: S.P.D.T. - 15A-125V, 7A-250V
  • Head Gasket: Garlock 7022
  • Seal: Viton A “O” Ring Seal
  • Pressure: 125psi @ 200°F
