  • What is a good lubricant for a wind turbine gearbox?
  • For most wind turbine gearbox oils, the critical concentration of water is less than 500 ppm. When water content exceeds this limit, the lubricant degrades with additive sedimentation. Water also causes film breakdown, oil oxidation, and corrosion. Recommended purity of wind turbine gearbox oil is at least 16/14/11, according to ISO 4406.
  • Why is gearbox oil important in a wind turbine?
  • The cost of gearbox maintenance and replacement, along with the costs associated with the inevitable downtime, are a significant part of wind turbine operation losses. The condition of gearbox oil in the wind turbine is an important factor in saving on these costs. The main purpose of gearbox oil is to reduce friction.
  • How often should wind turbine gearbox oil be changed?
  • No less important is the issue of frequency of wind-turbine gearbox oil change. There are two approaches: One takes into account the recommendations of the manufacturer regarding lubrication material lifetime, and the change is performed strictly in cycles (usually once every two or three years).
  • Why do wind-turbine gearbox filters & breathers work?
  • Filters and breathers on wind-turbine gearboxes must work under conditions found in no other industrial setting. Gearbox oil, for instance, undergoes large viscosity changes due to a wide temperature span and operating conditions. And then there is potential for a high water content in the oil from humidity and condensation.
