Magnets are installed in the main propulsion turbine lube oil strainers to attract metal particles released through wearing of the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• main propulsion turbine lube oil system purpose and flow path • which components in a turbine/reduction gear set are lubricated by oil under pressure • which component surfaces typically shed small ferrous (magnetic) wear particles into the oil

💭 Think About

• Think about which of the listed parts actually run in an oil bath or pressurized lube system where strainers and magnets would be effective. • Consider which component has meshing or sliding metal-to-metal contact that would gradually release fine metal particles. • Ask yourself which part, if it started shedding a lot of metal, would most directly show up in the lube oil strainers instead of elsewhere in the system.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which listed components are directly lubricated by the main lube oil system (not just exposed to steam or sealing air). • Check which of these items involve metallic rubbing or meshing surfaces that create small magnetic wear particles. • Confirm which components are normally monitored for wear by checking strainers and magnetic plugs in the lube oil system.
