Introduction to Oil Mist Lubrication Systems—8 Maintenance of Oil Mist Lubrication Systems

Thread Content

It is recommended that a dedicated person be responsible for operating the oil mist lubrication system. The maintenance of the oil mist lubrication system mainly includes the following aspects: 1. Main unit maintenance. Oil mist lubricated machines should have their lubricating oil refilled regularly, with an interval of around 3 months. Electrical components such as level gauges, level sensors, thermocouples, pressure sensors, and solenoid valves should have their operating conditions checked regularly, and their corresponding seals should be replaced periodically; the typical replacement cycle is three years ； The filter elements of the water division and pressure regulation filters should be replaced regularly, with a typical replacement cycle of one year. Since oil mist is generated from lubricating oil through mechanical mechanisms, damage to electrical components generally does not have a direct impact on lubrication; simply replacing the damaged components is sufficient. In the design of oil mist lubrication systems, electrical components can usually be replaced while the system is still in operation. 2 Pipeline maintenance. Regularly check whether the main and branch pipes of the oil mist lubrication system are unobstructed, and clean the pipes periodically (using steam cleaning); the typical cleaning cycle is every three years ； The mist distributor and the oil mist distribution pipes below it should have their operating conditions checked regularly, and the corresponding seals should be replaced periodically, with a typical replacement cycle of three years. 3. Routine maintenance. During routine inspections, it is necessary to check whether the various parameters of the host are within normal ranges, such as mist pressure, air pressure, liquid level, temperature, etc., and to verify that the oil mist flow in each pump is smooth ； The misting device and the oil accumulated in the oil collection box should be drained regularly; generally, the oil drainage interval is 2 to 4 weeks. 4 When using an oil mist lubrication system, spare parts should be stored appropriately.
