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

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 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

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

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

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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Foaming can be caused by contamination with another lubricant, too high oil level, or pump damage. Modern circulation oils contain foam inhibitors.

  • 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.
