An overhead oil tank provides lubrication in a steam turbine by gravity feeding oil to the various lubrication points within the turbine system. The oil is stored in the tank at a higher elevation than the lubrication points, allowing it to flow down through a network of pipes and feed lines to reach the components requiring lubrication. This ensures a constant and reliable supply of oil to reduce friction and wear between moving parts, thereby optimizing the turbine's efficiency and longevity.

How do boilers get energy from turbine?

Usually boilers provide steam to power a steam turbine. The turbine could provide electricity to run any pumps in the boiler. But boilers get their energy from a heat source.


What is warm rolling of steam turbine?

You don't start a large turbine cold. Typically, the lubrication system is started, the turning gear is engaged and warming steam (a small amount of steam, not enough to turn the turbine) is admitted to the turbine to warm and initially expand the shaft and casing. If this isn't done, thermal shock from the admission of high pressure superheated steam into the cold turbine could damage it.
