Industries that utilize rotating equipment require lube oil supply systems to extend equipment useful life. Lubrication oil is used to minimize friction and surface abrasion of active parts such as bearings or gears. Reducing surface friction greatly reduces the operating temperature of bearings and gears. Lubrication oil can also be circulated to distribute process heat away from machinery rotating components. Additionally, lubrication oil assists in corrosion and contamination control. Oils can prevent corrosive substances and dirt from reaching the surfaces of active parts.
