Lubricating oil for oxygen compressors
Thread Content
An oxygen compressor is a reciprocating compressor. Recently, as the temperature of the circulating water has risen, the oil temperature has increased as well; this causes the oil pressure to drop to a low alarm level, resulting in the operation of the auxiliary oil pump (both the main pump and the auxiliary pump operate simultaneously). Can this problem be resolved by using lubricating oil with a higher viscosity? Please share your opinions. Thank you!
1. If the oil pressure is low, it is advisable to adjust the oil pressure rather than changing the oil. 2. There are many factors to consider when changing oil; things such as the load on the bearings, the power consumption of the pump, and the heat generated by the oil all change
