Krytox™ Technology Improves Steam Turbine Governor Control and Reliability
The Problem
Turbine cam shaft or valve lift bar anti-friction bearings, bushings, and gears using conventional lubricants wear, fail, or lock up over time. This causes excessive clearance, rough response, and potential seizing of the governor control, resulting in:
Operational Issues
- Turbine downtime
- Loss of steam feed control
Maintenance Issues
- Increased maintenance effort and cost
- Frequent re-lubrication
- Employee exposure to extreme component temperatures
- Failed bearings
- Oxidation of the conventional lubricant
- Increased turnaround time to clean, break down, and replace components
The Solution: Lubricants for Steam Turbine.
Krytox™ lubrication technology for turbine governors has been demonstrated to provide the best available equipment performance and lowest available life cycle cost. Krytox™ grease will not oxidize or break down. The benefits include:
Operational Benefits
- Improved turbine uptime
- Improved turbine control
- Reduced operating expense
Maintenance Benefits
- Extended component life
- Extended re-lubrication interval
- Safer work environment
- Reduced effort and cost
Chemours Benefits
- Demonstrated in field use for over 7 years
- Ongoing support to deliver performance and savings
- Krytox™ grease is formulated to lubricate and protect turbine governor cams, anti-friction bearings, bushings, linkages, and gears
- Krytox™ grease takes the heat without breaking down
- Krytox™ grease protects components from vibration and fretting wear
