OPERATING CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT LUBRICATION

INTRODUCTION
Your environment can play a significant role in
increasing or decreasing the longevity of
lubrication. Temperature abnormalities, extremely
wet or dusty surroundings and excess vibration
can have a bad impact on your equipment. Some of
the extreme conditions include

1. Extreme Temperature

An elevated temperature is an environmental
condition that can affect lubrication
output. Once lubricant exceeds its base
activation temperature, it degrades twice as fast
for every 10 degree increase.

2. Dust-Filled Environment
Dust-filled environments and heavy dirt can lead
to the high risk of particle contamination which
is a leading reason why industrial equipment
fail. Clean environment is essential when it
comes to oil cleanliness and equipment
reliability.

3. WET CONDITIONS
Wet conditions can also have a negative impact on
the effectiveness of lubrication. While wet
conditions can lead to lubrication-related
failure, moisture can affect lubricant film
strength, oxidation, and load-carrying ability.
