Improved Thermo-Oxidative-Deposition Screening Tests for Turbine Lubricants

Abstract

This research applied combined Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) techniques to establish a potential new laboratory screening method for simulating and differentiating the high temperature lubricant degradation phenomena of oils in operational turbine engines.
