Influence of Solvents, Oil Temperature, and Incubation Period on Membrane Patch Color

In recent years, the varnish caused by turbine oil oxidation products has become a serious problem in thermal power generation plants. In our laboratory, we have developed a varnish diagnosis method that uses membrane patch colorimetry for evaluating varnish potential. Membrane patch color is influe...

Influence of Solvents, Oil Temperature, and Incubation Period on Membrane Patch Color
description In recent years, the varnish caused by turbine oil oxidation products has become a serious problem in thermal power generation plants. In our laboratory, we have developed a varnish diagnosis method that uses membrane patch colorimetry for evaluating varnish potential. Membrane patch color is influenced by filtering conditions such as mixing solvent, oil temperature, and incubation period. It is important to understand the influence of these conditions on the patch color and oxidation products to properly evaluate oxidation products using membrane patch colorimetry. Hence, this study aims to investigate these conditions by using two experiments. First, we conducted a filtration test on sample oils that were filtered under different conditions, in which we altered the mixing solvent, oil temperature, and incubation period to investigate their influence on membrane patch color. Then, we investigated the behavior of oxidation products versus heating time, incubation period, and oil temperature using an in-situ analysis of a microscopic fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). In the filtration test, the membrane patch color became darker with increasing incubation period. Additionally, the results also indicated that the membrane patch color became brighter when the sample oil and solvent were mixed and/or the oil temperature was high.
