Seeking advice on lubrication for chemical processing equipment
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone about the special requirements for lubrication of chemical industry-related equipment. Are some synthetic lubricants and greases used frequently? I hope everyone can offer some advice. Especially the oils used in certain electrical equipment. I’m new to this field. I hope everyone can give me lots of advice!
It should include all the power distribution and lighting systems as well as all electrical equipment throughout the plant, the air compression station and rectifier cabinets, the 10 kV power distribution system. It also includes all the instruments and meters in the plant, along with the automated control systems. It’s not clear whether pumps, fans, reciprocating compressors, and centrifugal compressors are included or not! Everyone, please help!
The operation and maintenance manual for the equipment usually specifies the type and grade of lubricant required for the lubrication points. Under normal circumstances, bearings with high rotational speeds should be lubricated with oil, while those with low rotational speeds can be lubricated with grease. It is recommended to consult the catalogs of grease suppliers (such as Mobil, Shell, BP, etc.) when selecting the grade of lubricating grease.
In this way, according to the maintenance section outlined in the user manual of the equipment you are using, if the equipment develops problems and the manufacturer discovers that you have not used the lubricant specified therein, that will be a problem for you
