Recycling of residual mist from oil mist lubrication in mechanical pumps
Thread Content
Let’s all share our opinions! (Is there a good way to recover the residual mist from oil mist lubrication?) The pumps in these devices use Langrunde’s oil mist lubrication system; they operate smoothly under normal conditions with few issues arising, and any problems that do occur are minor ones that can generally be resolved by following the instructions provided. In my opinion, oil mist lubrication is a very good choice for pumps. During the use of oil mist lubrication, residual mist will emerge from the small tube located above the oil collection tank (this is an important indicator to determine whether the oil mist lubrication system is working properly; as long as oil mist is acting on the bearings, mist will generally come out of this tube). In my opinion, the prolonged release of oil mist into the air not only leads to significant waste of lubricating oil but also causes certain harm to the health of the personnel operating the equipment. I wonder if anyone in your facilities has implemented measures to recover this residual mist. If no such actions have been taken, could you share your opinions on how to recover this residual mist? This would serve a dual purpose: it would help save costs for the facilities while also reducing potential harm to human health.
It can be brought out, and a small oil mist separator can be installed.
I once consulted oil mist generator manufacturers, and they said that there are complete sets of equipment for oil mist recovery; it’s just due to cost reasons that many units do not come equipped with such equipment
There are two methods: First, control the amount of oil mist; this can be done through trial and error to find a level where the amount of oil mist is low and the bearing temperature remains low； II. Centralized collection: there is no need to determine whether the oil mist is normal by checking the exhaust pipe on the oil collection box; during inspections, it is sufficient to use a temperature gun to check the temperature of the bearings. Since the interruption of the oil mist for a short period of time (according to the manufacturer, it should not exceed 4 hours, while personally I think it should not exceed 1 hour) does not have a significant impact on the bearings.
I’m not sure what the purpose of the separator is; is it useful for collecting residual mist?
I was wondering which company’s oil mist lubricant your company uses? Does your company have fog recovery equipment?
All of them are imported brands; the labels are in English and I can’t understand them. . No residual fog recovery equipment is available, and environmental protection is not given due attention
Our company doesn’t have a system for recovering residual mist either; maybe they think it’s not very necessary. But personally, I think it’s quite useful in a way
1. Environmental protection. 2. It does not cause harm to human health
I personally think the same way; nowadays, there are high demands regarding environmental protection, and things like oil mist lubrication are easily overlooked.
It should be a mist remover; it has an excellent effect on separating oil mist, enabling almost 100% recovery of the oil mist, thereby reducing emissions and improving the working environment. If you're interested, we can communicate privately.
