Abstract:
An air/oil mist generator (1, 1A), comprising an accumulation chamber (2) inside which a mist of oil particles in air accumulates, the accumulation chamber (2) being provided with at least one first mist outlet (4), at least one nebulizer (3, 3A) feeding into the said accumulation chamber (2), wherein the accumulation chamber (2) is associated with a differential pressure regulator (12), which feeds the compressed air into the accumulation chamber when the difference between the internal pressure of the accumulation chamber (2) and the nebulizer supply pressure (3) exceeds a predefined threshold value.
Abstract:
An air/oil mist generator (1A) including an accumulation chamber (2) inside which a mist of oil particles in air accumulates, the accumulation chamber (2) being provided with at least a first mist outlet (4), the generator (1A) comprising a nebulizer (3, 3A) feeding into the said accumulation chamber (2), the nebulizer (3) being optimised to operate at a first pressure level and being fed by a first line (BA) of compressed air at the said first pressure level, the generator (1A) further including a further nebulizer (3A) which also feeds into the accumulation chamber (2) optimised to operate at a second pressure level which is higher than the first pressure level, the further nebulizer being fed by a second line (AL) of compressed air at the second pressure level; the first line (BA) being optionally associated with a non-return valve (807) which prevents a backflow coming from the accumulation chamber (2).
Abstract:
A generator of air/oil mist includes an accumulation chamber for a mist of particles of oil in air, and equipped with a first mist outlet and a nebulizer feeding into the accumulation chamber, the nebulizer including a first nozzle supplied with pressurised air, which features at least a first channel supplied with the pressurised air, each channel being equipped with an outlet on a surface of the first nozzle partially defining a first chamber axially symmetrical with respect to an axis, the channels being positioned to generate a rotation of the air fed into the first chamber around the said axis, the surface of the first nozzle featuring a section converging towards an outlet hole, the nebulizer featuring a second nozzle supplied with oil and feeding out into the first chamber so that the oil is suctioned via the second nozzle because of the air flowing through the first chamber.
Abstract:
A remotely controlled material delivery system having at least one canister, for containing a material; a nozzle; a manifold to direct movement of the material from the canister to the nozzle; a valve mechanism to control the flow of material; a signal receiver; a power source; a mounting adapter; and a remote controller operable to generate a signal wherein the signal is transmitted from the remote controller to the signal receiver, wherein the receiver can open and close the valve in response to the remotely generated signal and wherein the signal can be transmitted through a wired connection, an optical connection, or wirelessly from the remote controller to the signal receiver.
Abstract:
A compressor is disclosed which can include a first stage and a second stage. In one form the compressor includes contact cooled compressor stages. The compressor can include a rod useful to inject a lubricant for purposes of cooling/lubricating/sealing the rotating components of the compressor. In one form the rod is an elongate rod with openings which permit a lubricant such as oil to be injected. The injected oil can be atomized via the openings. The rod can be positioned in the interstage space between the first and second stages, and can include a variety of openings.
Abstract:
A method, device, and nozzle for dispensing cooled lubricant is provided. Lubricant is supplied to the nozzle through an inner lubricant tube. Cooled compressed gas is also supplied to the nozzle through a conduit which surrounds the inner lubricant tube. Cooled compressed gas from the conduit is introduced into a nozzle gas bore in the nozzle and lubricant is introduced into a nozzle lubricant bore in the nozzle. The cooled compressed gas and the lubricant are mixed at a junction between these bores, such that the lubricant is siphoned into the junction by the cooled compressed gas. The mixture of cooled compressed gas and lubricant are then dispensed from an aperture in the nozzle, preferably as a fine atomized mist of cooled lubricant.
Abstract:
In one exemplary embodiment, a gas turbine engine includes a fan, a speed reduction device driving the fan, and a lubrication system for lubricating components across a rotation gap. The lubrication system includes a lubricant input. A stationary first bearing receives lubricant from the lubricant input and has a first race in which lubricant flows. A second bearing for rotation is within the first bearing. The second bearing has a first opening in registration with said first race such that lubricant may flow from the first race through the first opening into a first conduit. The first bearing also has a second race into which lubricant flows. The second bearing has a second opening in registration with the second race such that lubricant may flow from the second race through the second opening into a second conduit. The first and second conduits deliver lubricant to distinct locations.
Abstract:
A device for the application of lubricant onto the running surface of rails for rail vehicles includes at least one dispensing nozzle for issuing out a lubricant, and an air nozzle provided above the dispensing nozzle and aligned to blow out air in a direction of an upper edge of the dispensing nozzle and a railhead. The dispensing nozzle extends upwardly on an outer railhead surface which is distal to a contact surface for a rim of a running wheel of the rail vehicle.
Abstract:
A mixing device is suggested for introducing a fluid into another flowing liquid, especially for use as an oil lubricator. This lubricator consists of an exterior venturi pipe 18 and an interior venturi pipe 16, whereby a feed line 13 ensures the supply of the oil to be mixed into the interior venturi pipe 16. The feed line 13 is connected to the storage tank 28 of the lubricator by means of a butterfly valve 30 and a uptake 29. A control insert 20 is mounted in the ring-shaped cross-section between the interior pipe 16 and the flow channel 18. This has elastic blades in particular, which largely close the circular ring section at lower amounts of throughput of the air, such that even in this operational state, consistently good mixing results of the oil with the air can be guaranteed in interior pipe 16.
Abstract:
An airline lubricator characterized by the provision of a backstop which limits and controls the contour of the lubricator's flow restricting elastomeric flapper, whereby higher flow capacities may be achieved without sacrificing flapper service life, and by a sight tube seal plate that supplies lubricant to and from the sight tube via respective passages at least one of which has opposite ends thereof configured for communicating with transversely offset passages in the body of the lubricator head.
