In this video, we will delve into another of the functions of lubricant and how it is improved when
moving from oil level to oil mist lubrication.
We analyze in detail the function of cooling or removing heat. The differences between both lubrication
methods are notable, as far as the function of removing heat is concerned. In the oil bath or level, there
is the problem that part of the machine’s power must be used to “move” the oil in a liquid state. The
dissipation of this heat is slow. When oil mist lubrication is applied, and the need for the oil bath is
eliminated, liquid friction is directly eliminated. If, in addition, we consider that the oil mist enters the
system between 16 and 20 Celsius degrees of temperature; a better effect of dissipation of the
generated heat is also produced. These two effects result in temperature decreases of 10 °C on average,
and energy savings when moving from oil level to mist lubrication.
