What lubricating oil should be added to Roots blower
Roots blowers are usually filled with 220 # medium load gear oil as a special lubricating oil. This lubricating oil has good lubrication performance and wear resistance, which can ensure the normal operation of the fan gear. It also has good high-temperature performance and oxidation stability, which can effectively prevent oil from deteriorating at high temperatures. At the same time, 220 # medium load gear oil also has good lubrication and cooling effects, which can ensure the normal operation of fan gears and bearings.
When choosing lubricating oil, the following points should be noted:
1. Viscosity grade: Generally, Roots blower manufacturers will provide recommended viscosity grades, such as ISO VG 100 or ISO VG 150, etc. Users should follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
2. Working environment temperature: The temperature conditions of the working environment should be considered, and lubricating oil suitable for the local climate should be selected.
3. Oil change cycle: Reasonably setting the oil change cycle according to the frequency of use and working environment of the fan, maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of the lubricating oil, is the key to ensuring the stable operation of the equipment.
4. Avoid mixing: Different types of lubricants should not be mixed to avoid chemical reactions that may affect the lubrication effect.
In addition, when adding lubricating oil, it is necessary to ensure that the oil level is at the upper middle position of the oil mirror. Check the oil level every day, and if the oil level is found to be lower than the middle position, replenish the lubricating oil in a timely manner. At the same time, lubricating oil needs to be replaced every three months to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. When using the Roots blower for the first time, the gear oil should also be replaced within one month to ensure the lubrication effect of the equipment.
In summary, the correct selection of lubricating oil and maintenance measures are key to ensuring the long-term operation of Roots blowers.
