08 – Lubricant Functions. Particle Removal.

In this video, we are going to delve into another of the lubricant’s functions and how it is improved by moving from oil level to oil mist lubrication.

We analyze in detail the function of removing particles. When we have an oil bath, it is easy to notice that any dirt or wear particles present will remain suspended in the oil bath, and there is no possibility of them being eliminated. The presence of these particles will cause abrasive wear of the bearings. In the case of oil mist lubrication, since there is a permanent flow of oil mist entering and leaving the system, it is easy to notice that any dirt or wear particles present will be expelled outside the tribological contact zone. A common example is to compare the situation of taking a daily immersion bath, always using the same water, which periodically becomes dirty; with the situation of changing the above for a fresh shower with clean water, a situation that is undoubtedly much more effective and common.

The process that would be quite strange for a daily personal hygiene situation; It is widely accepted in the industry when it comes to bearing lubrication. Undoubtedly, an opportunity for significant improvement.

07 – Functions of lubricant. Lubrication

In this video, we will delve into one of the functions of lubricant and how it is improved by moving from oil level to oil mist lubrication. Lubricating oil has different functions, among the most important we highlight lubricating, cleaning or removing particles, cooling, and protecting against corrosion.

We analyze the lubricating function in detail. While in the oil bath or level, this function is only fulfilled in a pump in operation; when the oil mist is applied, lubrication is achieved both in pumps in operation, as well as in pumps on standby. In an oil bath, we depend on the ring or disc to deliver lubricant to all the internal parts of the pump. In the oil mist, all the internal parts of the pump will be always impregnated with oil, optimizing the lubricating function.

06 – Stray Mist.

Here we will discuss the possibility of dispersed or stray mist during the application of the technology. Although there are completely closed mist lubrication systems, some applications were carried out with open systems, and it is possible that there is stray mist in the environment during the application. It is very important to note that there is an OSHA regulation that indicates that an operator working 8 hours straight cannot be exposed to more than 5 mg of mist per cubic meter of air.

In open systems, mist lubrication systems have a concentration much lower than that limit; and in Oil & Gas applications, there is never the situation of an operator working 8 hours straight on a pump with mist lubrication.

It is important to note that stray mist does not cause any problem and complies with the requirements of OSHA regulations.
