Cooling lubrication feed system

To fulfill the task of cooling lubrication safely, all elements of the cooling lubrication system, i.e., cooling lubricant, circulation system with feeding and cleaning devices, must be effectively designed and coordinated. 

A typical lubrication oil system is shown in Figure 15-1. Oil is stored in a reservoir to feed the pumps and is then cooled, filtered, distributed to the end users, and returned to the reservoir. The reservoir can be heated for startup purposes and is provided with local temperature indication, a high-tempera-ture alarm and high/low level alarm in the control room, a sight glass, and a controlled dry nitrogen purge blanket to minimize moisture intake.
