Understanding Varnish Build-up in Industrial Turbine Systems | Texaco Lubricants

Varnish build-up is a result of oil degradation over time and affects the internal surfaces of turbine systems. Varnish can cause component failure and can bring down your operations.
The best way to prevent varnish is to get ahead of the problem, but to defeat varnish you first must understand it.
Oil degradation products precipitate out of the oil and are known as ‘precursors’ to varnish. These precursors can attach themselves to equipment surfaces such as valves, bearings, coolers, and piping. Because these deposits are tacky, they attract more deposits and build up a coating layer by layer. Varnish is then formed and can damage components.
As varnish builds up over time, you could face expensive unscheduled shutdowns.

ABOUT TEXACO LUBRICANTS
Texaco was founded in Beaumont, Texas in 1902. Back then we called ourselves The Texas Company, but that got shortened when a salesperson saw the abbreviation ‘Texaco’ in a telegram, and within a year, the name had stuck in the US.
In 1905, an operation was established in Antwerp, Belgium, under the Continental Petroleum Company name. With its ever growing and sophisticated product range, it soon became well established, and the Texaco brand was born in Europe.
2001 saw the merger of Texaco with the Chevron Corporation and the emergence of ChevronTexaco, soon to become the Texaco brand in Europe, now backed by the global strength, reach and technological expertise of Chevron, world-wide.
Today in Europe, Texaco markets a range of premium performance brands including Havoline passenger car engine oils and coolants, Delo heavy duty engine oils and coolants with a complete range of workshop products along with advanced Techron fuel system cleaners, alongside Texaco-brand fuels.
These high performance automotive products keep the wheels of industry turning all day, every day, and with a complete spectrum of industrial and power generation lubricants such as HDAX gas engine oils, GST turbine oils, and VARTECH turbine cleaning technologies, we keep the lights on as well.
