Regarding the issue of oil filling volume in the compressor oil station
Thread Content
I’m a new student learning about the installation of mechanical equipment, and I would like to ask the experienced colleagues: on the label of the compressor oil station, there is an indication of the amount of oil required. Is this amount the total oil needed for the entire equipment? Is it the remaining amount of fuel in the tank when the equipment is in operation?
The classmate didn’t specify exactly which oil level is referred to; the compressor has a lubrication system, and the oil level in the tank should be between 1/2 and 2/3 after the equipment is in operation. Another aspect is the lubrication of the cylinder via the oil injector; the amount of oil referred to here is the quantity of oil that the injector delivers into the cylinder per minute, or in other words, the number of drops of oil per minute. This amount of oil is necessary to ensure proper lubrication for the piston’s operation. I hope what I’ve said is helpful to you
The amount of oil required for each filling point on the label of the compressor oil station is indicated there.
Does that mean the oil injection volume is the total amount of oil required? Do we not need to consider the volume of the accumulators, oil coolers, and pipes? Thank you for the reply
This is a centrifugal compressor. My question is: is the oil dosage equal to the total amount of oil required?
The oil filling volume refers to the initial amount of oil added to the lubricating oil station; during operation, the liquid level will be lower than this filling volume.
Is the oil consumption budget for that unit simply the amount of oil to be injected? Thank you very much
Yes, the equipment manufacturers have taken into account the volume issues related to accumulators, pipelines, and so on
Thank you very much:handshake
I suggest purchasing more. Before changing the lubricant, your tank also needs to be cleaned – all the dirt inside should be removed, and then it should be rinsed with clean oil.
I’m proposing a budget for oil extraction and flushing – is 125% sufficient?:o
