POSSIBLE REASONS FOE INSTABILITY IN THE PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES OF Tr-22s MINERAL TURBINE OIL WHEN USED IN GAS COMPRESSOR UNITS

摘要

It has been experimentally established that the instability in the performance properties of Tp-22s mineral turbine oil is due to the different catalytic activities of the original base stocks used to produce the commercial oil. The catalytic activity factor shows by how many times iron (the catalyst) increases the oxidation rate of the oil. A higher catalytic activity factor for the original base stock means poorer performance properties for the commercial oil obtained from it. Introducing additives into the composition of the mineral base stock that block the catalytic effect of iron makes it possible to reduce the catalytic activity factor.
