The lubricating oils commonly used in Roots blowers are mainly as follows:
1、 220 # medium load gear oil
1. Characteristics: 220 # medium load gear oil has good lubrication and wear resistance, which can effectively reduce friction and wear between gears and extend the service life of equipment. At the same time, it also has good high-temperature performance and oxidation stability, which can maintain the stability of the oil at high temperatures and prevent it from deteriorating easily.
2. Application: This is one of the most commonly used lubricating oils for Roots blowers, suitable for the lubrication needs of most Roots blowers.
2、 Butter (lubricating grease)
1. Characteristics: Butter is mainly used to lubricate bearings and other components that require lubrication, with good adhesion and lubrication performance.
2. Application: In some cases, Roots blowers also use butter as a lubricant. However, it should be noted that not all Roots blowers are suitable for using butter, and the specific type of lubricating oil to be used depends on the specific model and usage conditions of the equipment.
3、 Other specialized lubricants
1. Three leaf Roots blower oil: This type of lubricating oil is specifically designed for three leaf Roots blowers, with good lubrication performance, wear resistance, and high temperature resistance, which can meet the working needs of three leaf Roots blowers.
2. Rotary fan gear oil: This type of lubricating oil is suitable for lubricating the gears of rotary fans and also has good lubrication and wear resistance properties.
4、 Selection and precautions of lubricating oil
1. Viscosity grade: When selecting lubricating oil, attention should be paid to the viscosity grade of the oil. Generally, Roots blower manufacturers will provide recommended viscosity grades, such as ISO VG 100 or ISO VG 150, and users should follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
2. Working environment temperature: When choosing lubricating oil, the temperature conditions of the working environment should also 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 summary, when selecting lubricating oil for Roots blowers, factors such as viscosity grade, working environment temperature, and oil change cycle should be comprehensively considered to choose the appropriate type of lubricating oil and ensure that its quality and performance meet the requirements. At the same time, regularly check the oil level and quality of the lubricating oil to ensure that it is within the normal range. Once the lubricating oil is found to be deteriorated or heavily contaminated, it should be replaced with new lubricating oil in a timely manner.
