Abstract
Abstract This paper describes the lubrication and cooling systems of modern electricity generating plant, particularly those of the generator. The paper discusses the development of the power plant manufacturing industry and shows how critical the selection of lubricants and coolants is on the efficiency of the plant. The operation and layout of plant of up to 1,200 MW power rating are described and the various lubrication and cooling systems which are incorporated are identified. The cooling media discussed include non‐synthetic, semi‐synthetic, and synthetic fluids, and in each case the reasons for its selection are examined. Basic design calculations relating to lubrication and cooling systems are included. The paper concludes by examining trends in plant design and how they may affect future selection of lubricants and coolants.
