Assembly

(pressure,

temperature,

Normal lube system pressure is maintained between 35-55 psig.

Temperature set bypass the oil cooler at 125 oF and through the cooler at
140oF.
System relief valve set for 150 psig to protect the system piping from
rupture.

Oil Cooler Assembly

Filters
Filter arrangement is duplex and installed on downstream of the regulator
assembly.

System Monitoring
During normal operation, the system pressure is monitored with an alarm
initiated if it falls below 28 psig and a shutdown initiated at approximately 25
psig.
A lube system pressure exceeding a typical value of 65 psig will initiate high
pressure alarm.
Temperature alarm set at 155oF and temperature shutdown set at 165oF.

PRE/POST LUBE SYSTEM

Pre/Post Lube Pump
The pre/post lube pump is normally a screw type and powered by AC motor.
The pumps function is to provide lubrication to the engine and driven
equipment bearing and gearing before the engine is allowed to rotate.
Maximum allowable pressure is 25 psig and it generated alarm if the pressure
exceed the set point more than 30 s.

Pressure Switch
Pre lube minimum pressure set at 8 psig.

Pre/Post System Relief Valve

System relief valve control the pumps discharge pressure and set between
10-20 psig.

BACK UP POST LUBE SYSTEM

Back Up Post Lube Pump
DC motor drives the back up pump. Back up pump ensure post lube is
accomplished even if the pre/post lube pump inoperable. Maximum allowable
pressure between 13-25 psig with an alarm generated if the pressure exceeds
this setpoint for more than 30 s.

Pressure Switch
Pressure switch set for 12 psig increasing and 9 psig decreasing.

Back Up System Relief Valve

Pumps discharge is limited to normally 13-25 psig by an external system
relief valve.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
In-line Filter
Filter to protect the downstream Bleed Valve and VGV actuators.

VGV Actuator
Using lube oil as its hydraulic source.

DRAIN SYSTEM
Oil returned to the oil tank by a series of gravity assisted
drain lines. These drain lines usually have a temperature
sensor at each engine and driven equipment drain location
to monitor the returning oil temperature.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Pump check sequence, first turning on the Back up Postlube Pump. The
Back up Pump must achieve a 4 psig within 30 psig.
Once the pressure is sensed, the Back up Pump is turned off and Pre/Post
Lube Pump is switched on.
Pre/Post Lube Pump must achieve minimum 8 psig within 30 s.
Pre/Post Lube Pump shut down at starter drop out speed (60-65% NGP) and
system pressure as above 25-28 psig.
If the lubrication handled by main lube pump and system pressure drop
below at preset level, an alarm will sound.
If the system pressure continues to drop below the typical shutdown set
point of 25 psig, the Pre/Post Lube Pump is turned on and a 5 s delay timer
will begin timing.
If the pressure still below the set point after time delay, fast stop package
shut down will be initiated and Pre/Post Lube Pump will complete its normal
postlube duties.
