39. What are the hazards of water in the lubricating oil of mechanical pumps?

Water content reduces the viscosity of lubricants, thereby diminishing their lubricating effect. Water freezes below 0°C, severely affecting the low-temperature fluidity of lubricating oils. Water increases the foaming tendency of lubricating oil, making it prone to forming foam. At the same time, moisture can cause metal parts to rust.

Moisture can reduce the viscosity of lubricating oil, weaken the strength of the oil film, and diminish the lubrication effect. Water freezes below 0°C, severely affecting the low-temperature fluidity of lubricating oil. Moisture can accelerate the oxidation of lubricating oil and promote the corrosion of metals by low-molecular-weight organic acids. Moisture increases the foaming tendency of lubricating oil, making it prone to forming foam. Moisture can cause metal parts to rust.
