The filter element LY-38/25W-5 is a dedicated filtration component designed for the lubrication oil system of steam turbines-generator units, playing a vital role in ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and extending the lifespan of the equipment.

The lubrication oil system is a critical part of the steam turbine-generator unit, providing clean lubricating oil to key equipment such as bearings. The main function of the filter element LY-38/25W-5 is to filter out solid particles and colloidal substances in the lubricating oil, effectively controlling the pollution level of the oil fluid, thereby protecting the bearings and other moving parts of the steam turbine from wear.

Technical Features

1. Efficient filtration performance: The filter element LY-38/25W-5 uses 304 stainless steel as the filter material, with a filtration accuracy of 25um, effectively removing solid particles from the lubricating oil.

2. High-pressure design: The filter element is designed with a pressure tolerance of 1.6Mpa, suitable for high-pressure lubrication oil systems.

3. Double or triple filter design: The filter element LY-38/25W-5 can be used as part of a double or triple filter oil system, consisting of three filters with different filtration accuracies connected in parallel, providing more comprehensive filtration effects.

4. Compact volume and large filtration area: Despite its small size, the filter element offers a large filtration area, improving filtration efficiency and service life.

Maintenance and Replacement

1. Regular inspection: Regular checks should be made on the degree of contamination and integrity of the filter element to determine whether it needs to be replaced or cleaned.

2. Timely replacement: To ensure filtration effectiveness, the filter element should be replaced promptly when it reaches a certain level of contamination.

3. Proper cleaning: When cleaning the filter element, appropriate methods should be used to avoid damaging the filter material.

The filter element LY-38/25W-5 is an indispensable component in the steam turbine lubrication oil system, providing efficient and reliable filtration to protect the steam turbine bearings and other critical components from contamination and wear. Correct selection, use, and maintenance of the filter element are crucial for ensuring the stable operation of the steam turbine and extending the equipment’s lifespan.
