The selection of lubricating oil is very important; first, consider the type of oil required by the parts to be lubricated, and second, the viscosity of the oil. Viscosity is relevant not only to the parts being lubricated, as it has a significant impact on the oil/fog ratio produced by the oil fog generator; moreover, the viscosity of the oil is influenced by ambient temperature. Therefore, careful consideration must be given when selecting the oil for oil fog lubrication. Oil viscosity: Under normal circumstances, lubricating oils with viscosities of 10# to 68# are used for ball bearings at normal temperatures. For other low-speed types such as rolling bearings, lubricating oil with a grade of 100#~150# is used in the southern regions, while lubricating oil with a grade of 46#~100# is used in the northern regions. Lubricants for heavy loads are lubricating oils of grades 320# to 460#; for gears with large diameters and low speeds, lubricants of grades 680# to 1500# are used. Most types of oils can typically be used with oil mist generators to provide oil mist lubrication for the moving parts of equipment. The following are several types of oils that cannot be used for oil mist lubrication: 1. Oils with suspended graphite; 2. Antifreeze with a concentration of over 5%, especially those containing silicon, cannot be used either. 3. Care should be taken when using oils containing effective EP agents to avoid chemical reactions, as such reactions can damage the components of the heater. 4. Oils containing soap cannot be used.
