Application scope of oil mist lubrication systems
Thread Content
Oil mist lubrication has its advantages, but it is said to be unsuitable for high-temperature pumps operating at temperatures above 300 degrees. Many users have experienced shaft damage for various reasons, in systems such as catalytic slurry pumps, re-refining pumps, the bottom of distillation columns in coking processes, and pumps at the bottom of vacuum towers. I would appreciate it if you could share your experiences – have you come across high-temperature pumps that function well when lubricated using oil mist? What problems have been encountered with oil mist lubrication for high-temperature pumps? Thank you
Our atmospheric bottom pump transports media at a temperature of over 300 degrees, and it has been working perfectly! The water jacket of high-temperature pumps must not be shut down!
We have been using all the pumps we catalyze, since 2009. No problem. The key is to decide which company’s product to choose. We are using the one from Wuxi Xinrun, with electrical dual control. Very good
Now, oil and gas pipelines are all over 300 meters long. There aren’t many restrictions. However, bearings with double-row balls require forced one-sided oil mist supply ； Those with wide retainers and dust covers won’t work. The bearing selection needs to be changed. Otherwise, lubrication problems are likely to occur.
