Compressor lubrication
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts here about lubrication in piston compressors: What are the parts of a compressor that require lubrication? What kind of lubricants are used respectively?
Bearing shells, crossheads, big-end bearings for connecting rods, small-end bearings, piston cylinders,
Bearing shells, crossheads, big-end bearings for connecting rods, small-end bearings, piston cylinders,
How should one choose lubricant?
Oil in the crankcase: N68 or N100; lubricating oil for the cylinders: L-DAB 150
I have a compressor here that uses L-DAB150 lubricant; the cylinders do not require lubrication.
For the lubrication parts of piston compressors, such as the main shaft bearings, large-end bearings, small-end bearings, and crosshead slides, the lubricating oil is selected based on the load and the type of lubrication required.
Does the cylinder not require lubrication? Is it oil-free?
