Why is the oil pressure lower in summer than in winter for compressors?
Thread Content
Is it due to viscosity that the oil pressure in compressors is lower in summer than in winter? What is the principle behind this?
In summer, the temperature is high; the temperature of the lubricating oil does not drop, its viscosity decreases, and the oil pressure slightly falls.
It’s mainly because the temperature is high in summer, so the oil temperature drops more slowly than in winter; it’s also related to the viscosity of the oil!
In summer, the temperature is higher than in winter, so the viscosity of lubricants decreases
