| How Oil Mist can Protect Stored Machines |
|
Oil mist is effective in protecting your stored machines. The Caltex Thailand Refinery added a new dimension to the capabilities of oil mist lubrication by using it to preserve its rotating machines while they were sitting in the construction storage yards. The machine manufacturers connected tubing from the oil mist connections on the machines to connectors on the sides of the shipping crates. A temporary system was connected to the crates upon their arrival to the yard. Typically, upon startup, there are numerous bearing failures. In this case, there were virtually none.

From "Is My Machine OK?":
To begin a comprehensive machinery assessment, you need to know everything you can about the machine in question: details of its construction, its history, how it’s being operated, etc. Then you need to collect some field data and analyze it. Finally, you have to make a decision considering all the field analysis results and pertinent factors. This sounds easy, but in practice machinery assessments are challenging and sometimes frustrating.
