Oil Mist - Overview
A Centralized Lubrication System
that Atomizes Oil into Small Particles and then Delivers
the Correct Amount of Clean Lubricant
To the Bearings and Metal Surfaces
Which Result In Improved Lubrication
And Extended Machinery Life.

Purge Mist (Wet Sump)
Purge mist used with sleeve bearings and gear boxes.
Oil level is maintained and the oil from the oil reservoir provides the
lubrication.
Oil mist continuously enters and flows through the space above the
oil level.
The housing is pressurized and external contaminants are excluded.
Internal surfaces continuously coated, protecting against corrosion.
Typical applications; small steam turbines and cooling water tower
gear boxes.

Bulk Oil Reservoir Oil Filling Procedure
Make Auxiliary Generator in operation.
Close Air Supply Ball Valve for Supply Oil.
Make sure that Air Supply Ball valves for Main Generator and
Oil Supply is fully closed.
Open slowly the fill cap of Bulk Reservoir and fill the oil.
Once the Oil is filled close the fill cap and turn to Main
Generator and open supply oil ball valve.
Routine Check & Safety Inspections
Check for on site and remote alarm for normal operation.
Check for Mist Pressure (50 mBAR / 20 in W.C.)
Check for Mist Density (>50%)
Check for oil level in Bulk, Main & Auxiliary Reservoirs.
Check for any Leaks in Oil Mist Generator
Check all Mist Supply Manifold Sight Glass for oil accumulations, if found
drain out to collection containers.
Check for oil level in all collection containers, if found more oil level, drain
out properly.
Record all corresponding inspection/checking, and report to the plant shift-
supervisor.
Emergency Procedures & Reporting
During the Emergency Situation on Main Generator, turn ON to the Auxiliary
Generator into operation for any of the following critical Circumstances, and
report immediately to the Plant Shift-Supervisor to inform maintenance
crew or the vendor to attend the problem(s):
If mist pressure and density falls below or goes above than the set-points.
If found any leak on the main generator
Display failure
Oil Transfer Pump failure (does not work)
Air Heater does not work (if low air temperature)
On site Alert Alarm Lights are not working.
No oil mist production.
