在许多行业中，涡轮机被严重依赖，以产生动力和运输气体以进行重要工艺。在涡轮机（和压缩机）系统中使用的润滑剂通常需要需求，目前需求逐年增加。
在涡轮系统中维护和分析润滑油的能力是一个重要的过程，因为它允许更长的寿命并有助于降低长期成本。
在储层水平上对润滑液的需求正在增加，这使系统功率输出，工作压力，内部温度和石油使用寿命增加了压力（即增加）。较高的需求也等同于长期保持清洁性能的提高以及工作间隙的减少。
要在涡轮机中使用，润滑剂本身必须具有高度氧化和热稳定性，以便能够承受涡轮系统的高工作温度。此外，润滑剂必须干净，即没有污染，以确保寿命和效率。
如果将涡轮机中的润滑剂污染，则将阻碍其润滑轴承和齿轮的主要功能，并充当调速器和阀门控制系统的液压介质。这可能导致涡轮系统效率低下。
The key issue with turbine oils is their affinity for forming a ‘sludge’ during the oxidative processes. Antioxidants are present in turbine oils, but the oxidization of the oil can cause the antioxidants within the oil to form a sludge. This is particularly true for amine-type antioxidants and these are commonly found in turbine oils.
The formation of the sludge within the turbine system can have disastrous effects on the whole system. The main example of the damage the sludge can cause is in the sticking of the servo valves. This means that the control valves will not open on demand.
In addition, general contamination of the oil can cause other issues. The main examples include accelerated wear, causing the governors and valves to operate erratically, plugging of the filters within the system and unplanned outages (which is very costly!).
通过涡轮系统实现高运行效率的关键是定期维护油和定期测试，以确保油中不存在高水平的氧化（与其他污染物一起）。
So how do companies analyze turbine oils and maintain their efficiency?
Many companies provide different testing options and kits that can be utilized in-house to determine the level of oxidation in the turbine oil, analyze the particles in the oil and even detect the moisture content within the oil, the separation affinity with other mediums and how long the oil has left in terms of its usability.
用于分析涡轮机油的一些常见技术是：测量不同温度下的粘度，元素分析，测量油中的水含量，计算油的整体酸度，确定油中的磁性颗粒数量，计算计算欧洲杯猜球平台与新的/新鲜的油相比，油中颗粒欧洲杯猜球平台和粒度分布的数量，比较了存在的抗氧化剂浓度，从而测量了油中的不溶性颗粒的数量，以测量油产生A油的能力稳定的泡沫，分析油如何释放夹带的空气，测量油与水分离的能力并使用旋转压力容器测量油的氧化稳定性。
In all, the various kits and techniques can be used with different forms of quality control that help to maintain high efficiencies within the turbine system. Many tests can decide whether an oil is still fit for use or a replacement is required. Alongside regular testing and maintenance, the key to long-life turbine oil is through choosing an oil which is highly oxidative and resistant to antioxidant aggregation.
