Removing moisture from a lubricant reservoir
11988330 · 2024-05-21 · ·

Techniques for managing a lubricant fluid include storing a lubricant fluid that includes liquid water in an interior volume of a reservoir, which includes a vapor space above the lubricant fluid that encloses water vapor; circulating, with a blower, a first airflow from the vapor space to an ambient environment to remove at least a portion of the water vapor to the ambient environment; circulating a second airflow to a heater in fluid communication with the vapor space within the interior volume of the reservoir; heating the second airflow with the heater; circulating the heated airflow into the vapor space to reduce a relative humidity of the vapor space; and releasing at least a portion of the liquid water from the interior volume of the reservoir through a control valve coupled to the reservoir.

Leak-proof lubrication system for a power device

Provided is a leak-proof lubrication system for a power device, comprising an oil supply pump inlet pipe, an oil supply pump, an oil supply pressure gauge, an oil supply pump outlet pipe, an oil supply filter, a lubricating oil, an oil storage tank, an oil return pipe, an storage tank pressure gauge, a vacuum pump intake pipe, a vacuum pump inlet air filter, a vacuum pump and a vacuum pump exhaust pipe. The system employs a negative pressure operation method in which the pressure of the lubrication system is controlled to be lower than the outside ambient pressure, which allows a small amount of air to flow from the outside to the inside of the lubrication system along with the lubricant to return to the storage tank, preventing leakage of the lubricant from connection joints. It is suitable to be used for gas turbines or other high-speed power machines.
