Jet Turbine Oil Temperature
Jet Turbine Oil Temperature
(OP)
I'm visiting from the automotive engine and fuel engineering section with a few simple questions.
First, what is the typical lubricating oil temperature for a jet turbine?
Second, do jet turbines use oil coolers?
Third, what type of oil is used in turbines?
Fourth, how often is the oil changed?
Just wondering, so thanks in advance!!!

RE: Jet Turbine Oil Temperature
A typical engine installed in a business jet would change its oil every 400-500 hours or 6 months.
Most use coolers of either an air type (air cools the oil) or a fuel type (fuel is heated by the oil) or a combination of the two. A typical oil inlet temperature would be 185-210 ºF. This is after it has been cooled so the temp. is much higher inside the engine.
