Lubricators

Most moving parts require some form of lubrication. The high costs of inefficiently running equipment and repair expenses make the addition of an air line lubricator an economical practice. Lubricators store oil and inject a preset amount of oil mist, or fog, into the air stream which is then delivered to the downstream device. The size of the lubricator for a particular application is determined by the downstream requirements. The charts provided for the various lubricators in the catalog will determine the pressure drop at the required flow rate and pressure. The pressure drop should be no greater than 5 PSID. A larger lubricator should be used if the pressure drop is over 5 PSID. Special attention should be paid to the compatibility of the lubricants used in the system and the materials in the lubricator, especially where plastic reservoirs (bowls) are concerned. Should there be any question regarding their compatibility, consult the factory or use a metal reservoir.
