Hi All,
How does the motion on FPSO affect turbine, pumps, lube oil system?.
Are there considerations we should take into account when selecting the rotating machinery?.

RE: Motion on FPSO. How Does it affect the rotating machinary.
Jet Engines are a form of turbine.
Jet Engines are classified as a piece of rotating machinery
Jet Planes have lots of pumps and lube oil systems
Jet planes are subject to lots of motion
Fighter jets are subjected to very complex twists and turns
So? Does the motion of high performance aircraft have a serious negative effect on the Turbines , pumps or lube oil systems?
The considerations you should take in to effect for a FPSO pump would be the same considerations you would have for an onshore pump.
What considerations do you use for an onshore pump?
prognosis: Lead or Lag

But remember, an FPSO has at least one big piece (or many smaller pieces) of rotating equipment on it- to drive the screws. So it is possible. People who build rotating equipment for offshore use know how to deal with it.

Greetings for the day
Finally,Motion of FPSO will be effecting Rotating machines and Piping or not ?Anybody can explain me in details ?
I want to know what is average or ideal speed of FPSO when floating based on turret?

It shouldn't have any real affect on the speed of the rotating shaft as normally this is far higher than the movement of the FPSO
My motto: Learn something new every day
Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way
