     Oil mist lubrication is used on literally thousands of pumps and electric motors in the U.S. petrochemical industry. 

This lubrication method has been demonstrated to reduce rolling element bearing failures by as much as 90%, thus offering significant technical and economic advantages over other lubrication systems.

This is the first book to present specific user-oriented design details covering application for:

  • machine tools
  • pumps
  • electric motors
  • other rotating equipment in the paper, pharmaceutical, steel, petrochemical, textile and other process industries.
 
This comprehensive guide book provides plant managers and maintenance engineers with a ready resource to understand the design parameters, application and economics of this important lubrication technology.

Advantages to using the Oil Mist Lubrication Method are:

  • Almost completely maintenance-free and self-checking.
  • Better lubricant properties, because the oil on the bearings is always new.

  • Lower operating temperatures.

  • Reduced power requirements.

  • Protection of non-running (standby) pumps.

One Reader of Oil Mist Lubrication had this to say,

"I was pleased to see that this greatly expanded second edition is giving well-researched and plausible data on how and why oil mist is used by some of the most profitable industrial plants in the world. The old pro Heinz Bloch has teamed up with a very bright and competent researcher from Texas A&M University, to go beyond just the installation and application-related data. There are case histories, short-cut calculation methods to illustrate cost justification, and numerous illustrations. The book clearly shows that there is virtually no antifriction bearing that doesn't benefit from oil mist applied as either a pure mist, a fine oil spray, or fully condensed oil droplets. It also shows that purge mist (wet sump), makes sense only on sliding bearings. The reader will gain an understanding as to which application fittings are best for the service and why closed, environmentally friendly oil mist systems are the wave of the future. Well done, gentlemen."

The information presented in this book is based on years of profitability advantages of oil mist lubrication in a broad spectrum of industrial settings.
