Definition
Today’s oil mist system is a centralized
lubrication system that continuously
atomizes oil into small particles and then
conveys and delivers . . .
Vortex Mist Head
Air
Vortex Air At
Chamber Sonic
Speed
Driven by compressed air.
1 to 30 SCFM.
No moving parts.
1 part oil - 200,000 parts air. Clog Resistant
System Components
Central oil mist generator.
Distribution network.
LubriMist® accessories.
System Layout of PxMax
2 inch galvanized, threaded and coupled.
Continuous pipe sloping back to generator.
Laminar flow.
Mist head supply pressure, 0.05 bar.
Air flow consumption 2.30 m3/hr
Oil consumption 0.34 l/day
Wet Sump oil mist or Purge oil mist
application
Oil mist continuously enters and flows through the space
above the oil level.
Oil-mist purge was to establish a positive pressure that
reduced the entry of solid atmospheric contaminants and
water vapor. This extended bearing life and oil replacement
frequency.
The main lubrication source still using lube oil level in bearing
housing sump. Hence oil sump levels must still be checked.
Extend oil change interval to 12 months

Alarm (show by red light)
In case of Alarm, please check
as following;
1. Ensure oil is in both
Reservoirs (Bulk & Main)
2. Ensure Mist Pressure is 20"
H2O
3. Ensure there is Oil Mist
supply to Rotating equipment.
4. Contact local agent to verify
root cause of alarm.
Note : Common alarm will communicate to MCB

Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator
The IVT includes an auxiliary or spare oil mist generator.
The auxiliary unit is provided for use
When maintenance or repair operations are being
performed on the main oil mist generator.
Start up -Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator
(U-shape cycle)
CLOSE
ON
CLOSE ON
Start up-Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator
(U-shape cycle)
1. Turn OFF the electrical power to the main oil mist generator
2. Turn OFF the air supply to the main oil mist generator.
3. Bleed the mist pressure at main generator side to zero.
4. Turn ON the air supply to the auxiliary oil mist generator and adjust the mist pressure.
5. Turn ON the electrical power to the auxiliary oil mist generator
6. Once the auxiliary oil mist generator has been placed in operation, maintenance and
repair to the main oil mist generator can be performed.The main oil mist generator
should be placed back in service as soon as possible. If the auxiliary oil mist generator
remains in operation for an extended time period, it should be monitored to ensure
that the oil level, air temperature and mist pressure is maintained.
