While used oil analysis is already standard for gear oils, Klüber Lubrication's analysis service is now also available for lubricants in generators, blades and main bearings of wind turbines. The "Grease Condition Analysis (GCA)" service is now available as part of KlüberMonitor.
Bearing grease condition analyses by means of standardised methods on a regular basis provide information on the current condition of the grease. Based on analysis results, the failure risk of expensive components or systems can be reduced and useful life be increased. Grease condition analysis is not only recommended for standard condition monitoring, but also prior to changing over to another bearing grease. Grease condition analyses made in Klüber Lubrication laboratories provide information on several aspects of a grease's current condition, including general grease condition, behaviour of the additives, oxidation, wear particles, mixing with foreign matter and oxidation and the extent to which old and new lubricant are mixed after changeovers. Grease condition analysis is available for selected lubricating greases from Klüber Lubrication.
