Different Lubrication Devices And Its Uses In Air Compressor.

By Prasanna Sutrave

Any moving parts must required some sort of Lubriation to reduce Friction between the Moving Parts.In Air Compressor Oil is used as Lubrication Media,to lubricate the CrankCase parts and Air Cylinders.

The quality of Lubrication will depends upon the various Devices which are used in Lubrication System.I will cover some in this post.

A)Lube Oil Cooler:-

This Oil Coolers are of Shell and Tube type.The Water is used as Cooling medium,which is circulated through the tubes,while the Lubrication Oil forced through the Shell side of the Oil Cooler.

You should have to remove Headers to inspect the tube or water side of the Oil Cooler.Dirt and Foreign matter can be removed either by Chemical cleaning or brush.The Shell of Oil Cooler should be cleaned in Trichlonthylen Bath and Flushed with Clean Air.

B)Lube Oil Strainer:-

This is located on the Lube Oil Suction Pipe in the CrankCase Sump.A build-up of Foreign matter or Dirt arround the Strainer will cause a drop in Oil Pressure,that's why Strainer must be kept clean at all times.

This Strainer must be cleaned at every Oil change in Sump.To clean,unscrewing it from Lube Oil Suction Line and then wash it in Solvent.

C)Oil Filter Element:-

The Oil Filter used in Air Compressor Lubrication System is of Cartridge Type.It is use and throw-away type Oil Filter.It should be replaced each time,the Oil
is changed in Air Compressor.

While fitting the Lube Oil Filter Element,fill it fully before Screwing it to the Filter Body.Follow all the Instructions which are printed on the Filter Element
at the time of Replacing.

Some other Devices Such as Oil Pump,Forced Feed Lubricator etc. will be cover in another posts.
