- Authors
Rostro-Kohanloo, Betty
- Abstract
The article discusses oil misting which is an effective option to decrease power consumption and lubricant costs for various industries. It offers information on oil mist systems which use a pressurized oil-air feed system that is introduced into vortex-like orifices which result to micron-sized droplets. It concludes that emerging technologies pave the way for the implementation and use of oil mist lubrication beyond the petrochemical industry.
