| Suction line leaks can cause air entrainment and problems such as excessive aeration, air lock, pump cavitation, poor lubrication and premature oil degradation. While a pinhole-sized suction line leak can be hard to find, using a small amount of shaving foam sprayed over the suspected leak area can indicate the source of the problem, as the foam is drawn into the line. This method should not be used for large leaks, and care should be taken not to use too much soap, since this can cause contamination of the lube, resulting in foaming and aeration problems and poor demulsibility.

Question: How much pressure can a grease gun generate?
|
GET THE ANSWER
Although oxidation can be slowed or reduced through proactive maintenance practices, in reality it cannot be filtered because it is a chemical aging process driven by catalysts such as high temperature, water, air, metals and other contaminants including fuels and process chemicals.
