Described herein is a modular device for dispensing and/or monitoring dispensing of a lubricant. A first coupling end is attachable to a source of lubrication. A second coupling end is attachable to a lubrication receiver. A control module is arranged between the first coupling end and the second coupling end. The control module includes a flow measuring device in fluid communication between the first end coupling and the second end coupling. The control module is configured to enable and/or monitoring dispensing of the lubricant. The modular device is configured to be operated remotely.

The present disclosure relates to a lubrication monitoring system (15) configured to monitor a supply of lubricant in a hand-held cutting tool (1) having a cutting unit (3, 5). A lubricant tank (41) and a conduit (45) are configured to duct a flow of lubricant from the tank (41) to the cutting unit (3, 5). The lubrication monitoring system (15) comprises a heating element (29) and a sensor arrangement (31, 33), the heating element (29) being configured to heat the lubricant flow. The sensor arrangement comprises a first sensor (31) located at the flow, upstream of the heating element (29), and a second sensor (33) located at said flow, downstream of the heating element. The lubrication monitoring system outputs a monitoring signal based on a sensed temperature difference between the first and second sensors (31, 33).

A gas turbine engine includes a gearbox assembly that includes a gearbox and a gutter for collecting a gearbox lubricant scavenge flow from the gearbox. The gutter is characterized by a lubricant extraction volume ratio between 0.01 and 0.3, inclusive of the endpoints. The lubricant extraction volume ratio defined by:

[00001]$\frac{V_G}{V_{GB}}.Math.V_G$

is a gutter volume of the gutter and V.sub.GB is a gearbox volume. The gas turbine engine includes a lubricant flow control system that includes a variable flow lubricant pump that generates a pump variable flow of lubricant to the gearbox assembly. The gearbox assembly has a variable consumption demand for delivery of lubricant. A lubricant flow controller is configured to generate a pump control command for the variable flow lubricant pump to produce the pump variable flow of lubricant based on the variable consumption demand.

A method of executing a lubrication plan for lubricating a plurality of machines with grease is provided. Each machine includes one or more lubrication points where grease is delivered. The method defines a set of instructions for the lubrication plan, including at least a series of prescribed grease volumes to be delivered at a corresponding series of lubrication points; generating an image of each lubrication point in the series, including a visual indication of the location of that lubrication point on the machine; storing the set of instructions and each generated image in a system including a grease meter and a display device; displaying a generated image of a lubrication point on the display device, including the prescribed grease volume be delivered there; delivering grease at that lubrication point via the grease meter, displaying a generated image of a further lubrication point, including the prescribed grease volume be delivered there.

A technique facilitates greasing of valves on a well tree, e.g. a frac tree, according to a simple process which enables selected, individual valves to be greased when desired. In some applications, the greasing process may be automated and controlled via a greasing control system. According to an embodiment, a greasing system is connected with grease ports at a plurality of actuatable valves located in a well tree. The greasing system has a plurality of grease valves which may be associated with each of the actuatable valves, e.g. with each of the grease ports. A pump is used to pump grease to the grease valves and the grease valves are selectively actuated to open positions to provide controlled greasing of desired actuatable valves so as to remove debris from and to lubricate selected actuatable valves.

A lubrication system may include a lubricant pump configured to dispense lubricant, a motor mechanically coupled to the lubricant pump, and a lubricant sensor configured to sense an amount of lubricant dispensed by the lubricant pump and transmit sensor data associated with a sensed amount of the dispensed lubricant. The lubrication system may include a controller coupled to the lubricant sensor and the motor, the controller including one or more processors configured to execute a set of program instructions stored in a memory, the set of program instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to: receive an operation signal associated with the well pump, wherein the operation signal is transmitted to the controller when the well pump is activated, cause the motor to operate upon receiving the operation signal, receive the sensor data; and cause a change in a rate of the motor based on the sensor data.
