also directly or indirectly caused by improper lubrication or a high level of misalignment. Couplings of the gear type should have a continuous lubrica-tion system rather than be grease-packed. Grease tends to separate at highspeeds; however， new greases being developed may change the whole coup-ling picture. In manycases， gear couplings are being replaced by disc-type couplings. This type of coupling is more forgiving of angular alignment problems and also does not require any type of lubrication. Misalignment problems in the system can often be aggravated by the piping to the system.Pipe stresses can run very high， and the unit willmove， thus causing high misalignments in the system.
Seal problems can give rise to high leakages and thrust problems. The high leakages reduce the efficiency of the unit and can also lead to contamination of the lubricant. Thrust problems arecreated by air leakage pastseals， causing an unbalance of the thrust forces on the system.
The previous problems are some of the more common types encountered on a gas turbine train. Regular and preventive maintenance is the key to asuccessful operation. Problems will arise， but by proper monitoring of theaerothermal and mechanical problems， preventive maintenance can often avert major or catastrophic failures.
