A method and system for lubricating at least one moving part with a lubricating medium includes a chamber configured to house at least one moving part, a lubricant reservoir configured to house a liquid lubricant, a gas reservoir configured to house a gas, and a controller configured to supply a first amount of the gas in the form of bubbles to a second amount of the liquid lubricant to entrain the bubbles of gas in the liquid lubricant. The controller is also configured to regulate proportions of the liquid lubricant and the gas as a function of at least one operating condition, including at least one of pressure, temperature, and flow rate, a solubility relationship between the liquid lubricant and the gas, and a size of the bubbles of gas, and supply the liquid lubricant with entrained bubbles of gas to at least one moving part.

Method and System of lubricating at least one moving part with a medium. The medium includes a dissolved mixture of lubricant and compressed gas. The amount of lubricant and compressed gas may be controlled in forming the dissolved mixture in response to input conditions. A user and/or external factors may be used to determine the input conditions. In response to the input conditions the amount of lubricant and compressed gas is delivered to the moving part that is housed in a pressurized chamber. The properties of the dissolved mixture can be adjusted, whereby the properties may include, but are not limited to, the following: viscosity, temperature, and thermal conductivity. This adjustment to the gas may be accomplished, for example, by releasing gas from the pressurized chamber in an amount to adjust the properties. In a further approach, lubricant may be scavenged from the pressurized chamber by returning surplus lubricant to its original source or other designated location.
