The descriptions within this Learning-Doc concentrate on
the lube oil system found on units with mechanical hydraulic controls.
Discussion will include the oil tank construction / major components, the motor
driven oil pumps, oil coolers, the main shaft driven oil pump, oil control
valves, operating sequences (on turning gear, during start up, on-line,
shutdowns), bearing header piping, periodic testing, and instrumentation.
For each typical alarm, discussions will include the alarm implications, probable
causes, and actions to be taken.
