Can the bearing housing be cooled with cold water?
Thread Content
The bearings of the centrifuges in our company are cooled and lubricated using circulating oil. The oil is circulated for lubrication and cooling via an oil pump, and the oil tank is equipped with pipes for cooling water. At the site, only low-temperature water at 8 degrees is available; there is no cooling water. Could someone please advise whether it is possible to use this low-temperature water? Thank you
Fight for the sofa! It should be possible; the temperature of cooling water is generally between -20°C and 30°C, and the temperature of the water at the site is 8 degrees, so I think it’s fine. This is a personal opinion
Sure. Control the water volume to ensure that the oil temperature does not get too high, but it also doesn’t need to be cooled down to very low temperatures.
It is necessary to take into account how low the temperature of water at 8 degrees will drop in winter. What impact does it have on the oil quality?
I’m thinking of starting it this season and shutting it down in winter, with the flow rate controlled by valves; I’m not sure if that will work
The key is to see what the process conditions of the pump being used are – can it handle such low temperatures? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Can tank coil cooling cause problems with the quality of the oil?
It’s not a pump but a centrifuge. The issue now is that the oil tank is cooled by coiled tubes; will using cold water for cooling cause problems with the quality of the oil?
Sure, as long as it meets the heat exchange requirements of the compressor (water pressure, flow rate), using chilled water will yield even better results~~
As long as the lubricant temperature can be maintained, that’s fine.:):):):):):)
If the temperature is too low, the lubricant will become thixotropic, right?
