Notes:
(a) A pressure control valve regulates main lube oil supply pressure to 345-414 kPag (50-60
psig) when unit is at normal operating temperature.
(b) Prevailing winds must be considered to prevent the lube oil cooler from exhausting into the engine
air inlet system or to take air in from the engine exhaust system. No airflow backpressure is
allowed at the lube oil cooler face.
(c) The maximum total design pressure drop of the off skid oil cooler loop including supply and return
lines shall not exceed 276 Kpad (40 psid) at the design flow rate and an oil viscosity of 60 ssu
(10.5 centistokes). No check valves are allowed in the oil cooler loop. This is recommended for all
applications (but mandatory for units in cold climates), oil cooler supply, return and optional vent
lines must slope from the oil cooler to the turbine package to facilitate draining when the unit is not
operating.
(d) The heater is mandatory if unit ambient temperature is less than 10°C (50°F).
(e) The lube oil tank immersion heater ensures the lube oil tank temperature remains above 10°C
(50°F) for starting in cold temperatures.
(f) The flame arrestor must be installed vertically at the end of the lube tank vent piping.
(g) Start-up strainers must be inspected after 100 hours of operation.
(h) An additional 246 L (65 gal) is required for package filters and piping. Additional oil will also be
required to fill any offskid oil piping and vessels (if applicable).
