05 – Oil Mist Application to each equipment

This fragment shows in detail how oil mist is applied to the different bearings of centrifugal pumps. The mist that is transported by the main header reaches a manifold, from where different tubings can be derived with application to different points. In these derivations, reclassifiers are installed, which are devices specially designed to significantly increase […]
