Issues regarding lubricating oil for high-speed pumps
Thread Content
There is red oil in the gearbox of the high-speed pump; why is there also a white oil tank? What is the function of each type of oil? I always thought that the oil in the gearbox served a sealing purpose. Which expert can give a detailed explanation?
The white oil tank is part of the mechanical seal flushing system
Red oil is a lubricant, classified as a hydraulic transmission fluid, specifically used in mechanical transmission systems. White oil is a sealing oil/flushing oil used for mechanical seals.
