Correct cooling of lubricating oil plays a key role in turbine generator applications intended for power generation. Efficiency and reliability, crucial requirements of these systems, largely depend on the thermal management of the lubricating oil. To ensure efficient cooling of lubricating oil in turbines used in power generation, Tempco provides advanced solutions with particular focus on double standby heat exchangers with interconnection valves.

The temperature of the lubricating oil is a fundamental parameter to ensure the correct functioning of turbines in power generation. High temperatures can compromise the viscosity of the oil, reducing its lubrication capacity and increasing component wear. On the other hand, temperatures that are too low can cause condensation and thus accelerate corrosion. Precise temperature control is therefore essential to ensure the life and efficiency of the system.

Tempco offers a wide range of coolers and custom cooling skid systems designed to meet the specific needs of turbines in the power generation sector. The double standby heat exchangers represent an innovative solution in this area: these systems allow the continuous passage of oil through the master exchanger, with a second exchanger if necessary, ensuring constant cooling and avoiding interruptions in power supply .

Interconnect valves are a key element in these Tempco dual systems. These valves regulate the oil flow between the exchangers, ensuring that the passage through the second exchanger occurs when necessary, quickly and effectively.

Operational Benefits:

• Improved reliability: advanced temperature management ensures stable and reliable operation of the turbines.
• Customization: Tempco solutions are custom designed, adapting to the specific needs of the customer.
• Minimal interruption: dual standby exchangers ensure continuous cooling, minimizing the risk of interruptions in energy production.

Solutions with dual standby exchangers for oil cooling in turbines in power generation represent a further advanced solution that demonstrates Tempco’s commitment to innovation and optimization of energy efficiency. Investing in these technologies not only improves operational performances, but also contributes to environmental sustainability in the power generation landscape.
