Fire Resistant Fluids in Power Generation
The importance of the fluid selection and maintenance is visible on the Electro Hydraulic Control (EHC) systems that are responsible for governing steam to turbine generators. Fire resistant fluids need to be used when high pressures and temperatures are present as it could lead to dangerous and expensive fires. Phosphate esters are the most commonly...
Turbine Oil Development
Turbine oils perform under demanding conditions and their performance has a direct impact on the reliability and profitability of a power generation operation. Lubrication failures can lead to unplanned outages, costly downtime and possible equipment damage. It’s difficult to evaluate turbine oil performance in basic laboratory tests. The...
Compatible and Incompatible Greases
Mixing different grease can sometimes lead to ineffective lubrication which damages components and could lead to equipment failure if not spotted early enough. This occurs due to incompatible chemical or structural interactions between the thickener or additive systems of different greases. Incompatibility symptoms vary but most will exhibit...
The Breakdown of Rotary Screw Air Compressors
Rotary air compressors are a type of gas compressor that uses the rotary type of positive displacement mechanism. When it’s an oil-flooded rotary screw compressor, the oil is injected into the compression compartments to aid sealing and provide cooling. In this article we will touch on the compressor components, the lubrication process and...
Maintaining Electric Motors
The electric motor is a crucial part of every manufacturing process. But due to its simplicity and reliability, frequent maintenance is often overlooked. If motor damage has been sustained, minor repairs are often too late. In this article, we will touch on maintenance practices, correct lubrication and common motor failures. Motors need to...
Regreasing of Element Bearings
Rolling element bearings need to be relubricated regularly to replace the grease that’s been lost through deterioration, leakage or contamination. This article will touch on when you should relubricate but there is no set time or schedule to reference. The timeframe can range from a daily to an annual relubrication. When to Relubricate There...
The Technicality of Grease
Grease isn’t just a thick oil; it is made up of all different components. This article will break down what grease is about, when to use it and what happens when different grease samples are mixed together. The Components that make up Grease Grease is manufactured by the combination of three essential components: base oils, thickeners...
Synthetic Lubricants, the Superior Choice
Industrial plants choose synthetic lubricants over conventional mineral oils because they can contribute to the increased productivity of the industrial equipment and therefore decrease maintenance costs. That alone is reason enough to choose the synthetic kind. Mineral lubricants can be traced back to crude petroleum, otherwise known as crude...
Thinking inside the box
Mobil SHC Gear delivers optimum protection ExxonMobil has recently introduced a new lineup of its high-performance, fully-synthetic industrial gear lubricants to the industrial lubricants market in Europe, Africa and Middle East. Branded the Mobil SHC Gear series, these lubricants have been expertly formulated to offer a number of performance...
