Zero Leakage and Zero Frictional Drag

Industry Application

Turbine Lube Oil Systems

Transfer valves in turbine lube oil systems must provide absolute zero leakage — any bypass reduces oil flow to bearings and seals, risking catastrophic equipment failure. The HYCOA JR-33 is the industry standard for this critical application.

The Risk of Internal Leakage

A transfer valve with internal leakage allows oil to bypass the active filter element. Contaminated oil reaches turbine bearings and seals, accelerating wear and increasing the risk of unplanned outages on critical rotating equipment.

Why HYCOA JR-33 for Turbine Lube Oil?

Engineered Zero Leakage

Patented resilient Shoe Seal provides zero internal leakage — not just low leakage. Protects bearings and seals from contaminated oil bypass.

API 614 Rated

Designed and tested per API Standards 598 and 614 for special-purpose rotating equipment lubrication systems.

Zero Frictional Drag

The Shoe Seal lifts completely during transfer — no drag, no pressure spike, no flow interruption during filter switching.

No Lubrication Required

No grease fittings, no packing adjustments. Reduces maintenance requirements on critical turbine lube oil skids.
