Aerosol aspects of oil mist lubrication -- Generation and penetration in supply line
Abstract
In this research work the characteristics of the oil mist generated by the vortex type oil mist generator and the behavior of oil mist flowing through the oil mist supply line have been investigated using the tools, theories and models of aerosol mechanics. In the first part of this research, the influence of oil viscosity and oil level in the generator reservoir on the generated oil mist have been studied. The characteristics of the generated oil mist has also been investigated for several commercially available lubricating oils. In the second part, the penetration (percentage of oil droplets carried with air flow without deposition in the supply pipe) of oil mist has been studied experimentally and compared to a generalized model. It has been observed that for oil mist flow through a particular diameter pipe, there exists an optimum flow rate range for maximum penetration.
