How is the delivery distance of oil mist in an oil mist lubrication system determined?

The oil mist lubrication system in our device can deliver oil over a distance of more than 100 meters; we are not yet aware of its performance

How effective is it? There is also information on lubricant loss

Under what conditions is oil mist lubrication generally used? Our equipment does not have oil mist lubrication

Oil mist lubrication technology is a new method of lubrication that utilizes the energy of compressed air to atomize liquid lubricant into small particles ranging from 1um to 3um. These particles remain suspended in the compressed air, forming a mixture known as oil mist. Under the force of their own pressure, this oil mist is delivered through transmission pipelines to various locations where it is needed, thereby providing lubrication. The oil mist lubrication system is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and safe centralized lubrication system that consists of a lubricator, nozzles, oil mist transmission pipes, and lubrication accessories. This lubrication system can continuously and efficiently automate the atomization of lubricant into small particles, and precisely deliver fresh, clean misty lubricant to multiple lubrication points, covering the components to be lubricated evenly in order to lubricate and cool them. Oil mist nozzles can be selected based on the operating speed of the component to be lubricated, and each lubricator can be equipped with multiple nozzles. Advantages: 1. High lubrication efficiency – the fresh oil mist, when lubricated by compressed air, can spread to the areas that require lubrication, thereby providing these areas with a good and even level of lubrication, which significantly extends the lifespan of the moving parts. 2. Compressed air has a low specific heat and high flow velocity, which enables it to easily carry away the heat generated by friction; as a result, the temperature of the frictioning surfaces decreases, and the power consumption of the equipment is reduced. 3. It significantly reduces the oil consumption for lubrication; the friction pairs always have a fresh, appropriate amount of lubricant, and its spraying function helps to ensure clean operation of these friction pairs. 4. The relatively thin oil circulation lubrication system features a simple and lightweight structure, small floor space, low power consumption, easy maintenance and management, a high degree of automation, and low costs. 5. Due to the pressure exerted by the oil mist, it can provide an effective sealing effect, preventing external impurities and moisture from entering the friction pair. 6. It has a wide range of applications; currently, oil mist lubrication is already in use in calendering equipment and metallurgical machinery. Such as: aluminum foil rolling mills, strip rolling mills, rotary kilns, ball mills, machinery for the petroleum and paper industries, fiber processing equipment, chain conveyors, vibrators, blowers, mineral processing machines, crushers, high-speed spindles, and various other types of machinery. 7. Significant economic benefits. 8. The entire system has virtually no moving parts, resulting in high operational reliability and facilitating long-term safe operation. 9. Centralized automatic lubrication is used, **reducing the workload on operators. 10. In summary, the oil mist lubrication system has many advantages, and these advantages become even more evident when it is used in applications with light loads, multiple points of lubrication, and high dust levels. Especially at high speeds, the advantages of oil mist lubrication are more evident. Disadvantages: Although oil mist lubrication provides good lubrication effects, consumes less oil, offers excellent heat dissipation capabilities, and can increase the maximum speed at which rolling bearings can operate, it pales in comparison to oil-gas lubrication. Oil mist must be transported using large-diameter pipes, typically 2 1/2”, and the transmission distance is usually 30 meters, with a maximum of no more than 80 meters ； Adjusting the oil mist volume is also difficult, and changes in oil viscosity have a significant impact on its atomization ability; therefore, the oil temperature must be strictly controlled. The gas emitted from oil mist lubrication contains some suspended tiny oil particles, which are harmful to human health; therefore, in places where oil mist lubrication is used extensively, ventilation systems must also be installed.
