What are the effects of too low or too high lubricant temperature in an expander on the equipment?

What is the impact of the lubricating oil temperature in methane expansion-recompression machines on the operation of the equipment? Could you provide a **detailed explanation?**
When the temperature is too low, the viscosity increases and the lubrication effect deteriorates. Too high a value will lead to high shaft temperature and increased vibration. It’s the same whether it’s a expander or other devices such as turbines.
