Lubrication for heat, rotating equipment and auxiliary systems

Thermal power plants use motors, fans, pumps, conveyors, coal-handling equipment and other rotating machinery to support generation and plant operations. Bearings and moving components may encounter elevated temperatures, heavy loads, vibration and dusty environments depending on their location and duty. Grease must be selected for the actual operating temperature, speed, load and equipment requirements rather than simply choosing a product labelled for high temperatures. Unsuitable grease can oxidise, soften, harden or lose its lubricating effectiveness under the wrong conditions, potentially increasing wear and maintenance needs. Correct grease selection and relubrication practices help support equipment availability and reduce the risk of lubrication-related interruptions.
