Comparison of oil mist lubrication and oil sump lubrication characteristics

Thread Content

1) It has high lubrication efficiency; the oil mist can spread via compressed air to all friction pairs that require lubrication, thereby forming a clean and high-quality lubricating film on the surface of these friction pairs, which enables efficient lubrication and prevents rusting. (2) Compressed air has a low specific heat and high flow velocity, making it easy to carry away the heat generated by friction; as a result, the operating temperature of the bearings decreases by 10–15 degrees under pure oil mist conditions. (3) Reduce lubricant usage by 40%, thereby lowering costs. (4) Bearing failures related to lubrication are reduced by 90 %. (5) Bearing life can be extended by 6 times. (6) Due to the certain pressure of oil mist, failures related to damaged shaft seals are reduced by 45% to 65%. (7) The oil mist lubrication system for pump sets features low weight, small footprint, low power consumption, low maintenance costs, and ease of centralized management. (8) The entire system has virtually no moving parts, resulting in high operational reliability and facilitating safe, long-term operation. In summary, the oil mist lubrication system has many advantages; it can significantly reduce the workload on workers and effectively improve their working environment.
