摘要： The invention relates to a method for supplying lubricating points of an I.S. glassware forming machine, wherein a used lubrication system comprises a plurality of lubricant metering devices (29) that are provided to output lubricant to a plurality of lubricating points, that are to be lubricated, of the glassware forming machine and are allocated in each case to one of several lubrication circuits (23-28). The lubricant metering devices of a respective lubrication circuit simultaneously output a predetermined amount of lubricant in each case cyclically with a time interval allocated to the lubrication circuit. The lubricant metering devices are allocated to lubrication circuits in dependence upon temperatures that have been measured in direct proximity to lubricating points, and are allocated such that the temperatures of the lubricating points of a lubrication circuit are within a predetermined temperature range. The amounts of lubricant provided at the lubricating points are controlled in that the length of the time interval allocated to a lubrication circuit is determined in dependence upon temperatures, that have been measured in direct proximity to lubricating points of the lubrication circuit, using a set of evaporation characteristics of the lubricant. In accordance with the invention, the consumption of lubricant can be further reduced. The invention further relates to a device for implementing the method.

摘要： An initial weight of a grease storing cartridge attached to a pump is measured, and the measured value is compared with a reference weight and it is determined whether the initial weight of the cartridge is within an appropriate range or not. The weight of the cartridge is measured before and after execution of one operation cycle of the pump, and it is determined whether the difference therebetween (i.e., weight of grease which is actually supplied during one operation cycle) is within an appropriate range or not.

摘要： An air or oil dryer module is provided to remove or reduce moisture from a lubricant using a pressurized air supply to inject dry air into a lubricant sump. As the “dry air” or air with a minimized moisture content, gathers moisture from the lubricant a relative humidity sensor detects an increase in air moisture. At a pre-determined relative humidity level, a fresh supply of air is added into the lubricant sump, purging the higher relative humidity level air from the sump. A method of reducing moisture content of a lubricant contained in an enclosed space is also disclosed and is performed by agitating the lubricant, providing a humidity sensor in fluid communication with the enclosed space, measuring the humidity of the enclosed space and comparing the humidity measurement with a pre-selected humidity level, introducing dry air into the enclosed space if the humidity level equals or exceeds the pre-selected humidity level, until the saturated humidity level is less than the pre-selected humidity level.

摘要： An apparatus for lubricating an operating component of a system in which the operating component is exposed to a range of conditions, such as a range of temperatures, which require adjustment of at least one physical property of the lubricant is described. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the operating component is located within a lubricant reservoir which contains a first lubricant of low density and high viscosity and a second lubricant of higher density and lower viscosity. During certain operating conditions, the lubricants are at least partially immiscible, usually at lower temperatures, and the first lubricant is appropriate for those operating conditions. A change in at least one operating condition which promotes at least partial miscibility of the lubricants, such as higher temperatures, causes the first and second lubricants to mix, at least partially, and form a third lubricant. The third lubricant has at least one property which differs from that of the first and second lubricants, usually a different viscosity. The third lubricant contacts the operating component and is more appropriate for lubricating under the condition which causes at least partial miscibility. In an alternative embodiment the operating component is not located within the lubricant reservoir and the lubricant is conveyed to the operating component. Processes for lubricating are also described.

摘要： A bearing system including one or more bearings for optimizing stiffness of each bearing which includes an individual regulator, pressure meter and flow meter to each bearing. The meters send instantaneous values of pressure an flow rate to a computer system which performs an algorithm using the values and computes target signal values for each individual bearing. These values are then transmitted to the respective pressure regulators. The pressures applied by the regulators are maximum values with which the bearing can operate without going into vibration. One algorithm that the computer uses is to compute an "impedance" value of the bearing which is defined to be P/S where P is the pressure measured by the pressure meter and S is the flow rate measured by the flowmeter. This approach assumes that the actual effective pressure in the bearing is at last proportional to the pressure measured at the meter. If Pm and Sm are the pressure and flow rate respectively when the bearing pressure is just below a value where the bearing starts to resonate, then the computer works toward maintaining the pressure P and flow rate S at values where P/S=Pm/Sm. In another embodiment, after load is applied at a location with respect to the bearing, the computer computes pressure in the various bearings depending on where the load is located and value of the load so that total force and moment on the bearings equals zero. The invention is applicable to bearings relying on hydrodynamic and hydrostatic forces.

摘要翻译： 一种轴承系统，包括用于优化每个轴承的刚度的一个或多个轴承，其包括单个调节器，压力计和每个轴承的流量计。 仪表将压力的瞬时值发送到计算机系统，该计算机系统使用该值执行算法并计算每个单独轴承的目标信号值。 然后将这些值传送到相应的压力调节器。 调节器施加的压力是轴承可以在没有振动的情况下运行的最大值。 计算机使用的一种算法是计算定义为P / S的轴承的“阻抗”值，其中P是由压力计测量的压力，S是由流量计测量的流量。 这种方法假设轴承中的实际有效压力最终与仪表上测量的压力成比例。 如果Pm和Sm分别是当轴承压力刚好低于轴承开始共振的值时的压力和流量，则计算机致力于将压力P和流量S保持在P / S = Pm / Sm 。 在另一个实施例中，在相对于轴承的位置施加负载之后，计算机根据负载所处的位置和负载的值来计算各种轴承中的压力，使得轴承上的总力和力矩等于零。 本发明适用于依靠流体动力学和静压力的轴承。

摘要： A compressor includes an air cooled lubricant temperature regulator and an engine for providing motive force to the compressor. A first, electric-driven, self-priming pump provides a supply of lubricant to the compressor prior to starting the engine and for a predetermined period of time after the engine is operating. The first pump is flow connected in fluid receiving relation with a lubricant reservoir. A first electronic controller means directs compressor operations, including directing operation of the first pump. A second electronic controller, external to the first controller means, directs operation of the first pump after engine operation. A second, compressor-driven, self-priming pump provides a primary lubricant pumping function during engine operation at predetermined run speeds. A valve means is flow connected intermediate the discharge of the first pump and the discharge of the second pump for preventing lubricant cross flow between the first and second pumps during simultaneous operation thereof. The first pump preprimes the second pump to facilitate the self-priming duty of the second pump.

摘要： A fluid exchange apparatus for the transfer of fluids from a first containment area to a second containment area, including a total fluid reconciliation process, whereby the same amount of fluid transferred from the first containment area to the second containment area is replenished into the first containment area, or is replenished to a preset amount. The fluid exchanger includes an evacuation section having a vacuum pump therein, and a fill section. The fluid being vacated from the first containment area is transferred to the second containment area by vacuum pressure introduced into the first containment area. An air purge is used to drive fluid out of the fluid passages/filters into the first containment area. The pressure may be developed internally to the fluid exchange apparatus or externally thereto. CPU controlled electronics are utilized to measure, monitor, and control, via a user interface screen, the fluid exchange machine.
