Challenges of Circulating Systems
Do you know the cost of a lubrication system failure?
Circulating systems in industry operate continuously, pumping machine oil to multiple lubrication points. Extreme temperatures, water contamination, and continuous operation impose unique demands on circulation oils.
Five Critical Issues in Circulation Lubrication
Oil Oxidation
High temperatures accelerate the oxidation of circulation oil, leading to the formation of deposits and sludge. These contaminants block filters and degrade lubrication properties, increasing machine component wear.
Water Contamination
Water in the circulation system creates emulsions that weaken the oil film. The lack of proper demulsifying properties leads to bearing corrosion and accelerated wear.
Viscosity Change
Poor anti-foam properties of the oil lead to cavitation in hydraulic pumps. Air bubbles destroy metal surfaces and drastically reduce system efficiency.
Foaming and Air
An improperly selected circulation oil foams in the system, causing pump cavitation. Air in the oil reduces lubrication effectiveness and accelerates oxidation.
Bearing and Gear Wear
Inadequate lubrication leads to accelerated wear of critical components. Bearing and gear failures mean costly production downtimes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is circulation oil different from other industrial oils?
Circulation oil is specifically formulated for use in circulation systems. It contains additives that lower the freezing point, excellent demulsifying properties, and high oxidation resistance.
How to select the viscosity of machine oil for my system?
The choice of appropriate viscosity grades depends on the machine manufacturer's recommendations, operating temperature, and bearing type. Mobil DTE Oil Named Series machine oil performs well in most standard applications.
Can I mix different brands of circulation oils?
We do not recommend mixing different oils. Even the highest quality oil may lose its properties when mixed with another product. Always flush the system before changing brands.
How often should the oil in circulation systems be changed?
A good circulation oil can operate for several years. Regularly test oil samples - an increase in acid number and viscosity indicates the need for replacement.
Why does the circulation oil foam in my system?
Foaming can be caused by contamination with another lubricant, too high oil level, or pump damage. Modern circulation oils contain foam inhibitors.
What are the differences between mineral oils and synthetic PAO oils?
Synthetic oils based on PAO offer better thermal stability, longer life, and a wider temperature range of operation. Mineral oils are more economical for standard applications.
