Abstract
Oil mist lubrication is a proven and
environmentally clean technology for the
lubrication of rotating equipment in process
industries. The use of oil mist lubrication
has grown dramatically worldwide
delivering increased reliability to many
types of rotating equipment. Many
advances have been made in both the
technology of oil mist system design and
methods for applying oil mist to rotating
equipment. Key questions to be addressed
include:
What is oil mist and how is it generated?
How has oil mist evolved over the past forty
years? Where oil mist is currently applied?
What are the advantages of oil mist
lubrication? How to justify oil mist
lubrication?
Oil mist is considered a “best practice” by
many companies in the process industries.
