Abstract:
Provided is a leak-proof lubrication system for a power device, comprising an oil supply pump inlet pipe, an oil supply pump, an oil supply pressure gauge, an oil supply pump outlet pipe, an oil supply filter, a lubricating oil, an oil storage tank, an oil return pipe, an storage tank pressure gauge, a vacuum pump intake pipe, a vacuum pump inlet air filter, a vacuum pump and a vacuum pump exhaust pipe. The system employs a negative pressure operation method in which the pressure of the lubrication system is controlled to be lower than the outside ambient pressure, which allows a small amount of air to flow from the outside to the inside of the lubrication system along with the lubricant to return to the storage tank, preventing leakage of the lubricant from connection joints. It is suitable to be used for gas turbines or other high-speed power machines.
Abstract:
A lubricant reservoir refilling system. The system includes a removable reservoir having a tank for receiving lubricant, a refill inlet fluidly communicating with the tank, and a connector. The refilling system also includes a refilling station including a refill housing having a connector configured for releasable connection with the reservoir connector, an inlet on the refill housing adapted for connection to a supply of lubricant, and an outlet on the refill housing positioned for fluid communication with the reservoir refill inlet when the reservoir is connected to the refilling station to allow delivery of lubricant from the refilling station through the reservoir refill inlet to refill the tank. The refill housing connector is functionally identical to a connector on a pump assembly so the reservoir including the tank can be removed from the refilling station and removably connected to the pump.
Abstract:
A portable oil container including a housing having an air port and an air vent, a carrying handle at the top of the housing, a handhold at one peripheral side of the housing, a wing screw adapted to seal the air vent, a feed pipe adapted to be connected to the oil port, a sealing cap adapted to seal the oil port when the feed pipe is not connected to the oil port, a springy pipe clamp welded to the housing at the top and adapted for holding the feed pipe when it is not in use, and a plurality of flat bumpers transversely disposed in parallel inside the housing and adapted to buffer contained oil when the housing is moved or turned.
Abstract:
Techniques for managing a lubricant fluid include storing a lubricant fluid that includes liquid water in an interior volume of a reservoir, which includes a vapor space above the lubricant fluid that encloses water vapor; circulating, with a blower, a first airflow from the vapor space to an ambient environment to remove at least a portion of the water vapor to the ambient environment; circulating a second airflow to a heater in fluid communication with the vapor space within the interior volume of the reservoir; heating the second airflow with the heater; circulating the heated airflow into the vapor space to reduce a relative humidity of the vapor space; and releasing at least a portion of the liquid water from the interior volume of the reservoir through a control valve coupled to the reservoir.

Abstract:
A lubricant storage and dispensing system includes at least one vessel having a mouth with a threaded surface, at least one lid with a threaded surface adapted to sealingly engage the threaded surface of at least one vessel, at least two color-coded cards, each card being a different color than the other cards, and a plurality of color-coded band corresponding in number and respective color to the color-coded cards. A color-coded card can be associated with each of the vessels of the system. The corresponding color-coded band can be placed on the lid sealingly mounted to the vessel.
Abstract:
A transport system is a vacuum processing system that includes a transport device that is provided in a vacuum, and a lubricating agent supply device that supplies lubricating agent to the transport device and provided in the ambient atmosphere. The transport device has a lubricating agent flow channel that is a channel for grease injected to a site subject to lubrication. The lubricating agent supply device has a grease server that stores a lubricating agent in the ambient atmosphere, a lubricating agent supply pipe which is a channel that guides the grease stored in the grease server to the lubricating agent flow channel and that connects the grease server and the lubricating agent flow channel, and an exhaust pump that exhausts the inside of the lubricating agent supply pipe.
Abstract:
A disposable lubricating container system including a disposable container, a carrier, a sealing unit and transfer tubes. The carrier rigidly attaches itself to an engine or other machine part and the container attaches to the carrier. The container mates with the carrier to securely hold the container while being easily removed or inserted into the carrier. The sealing unit attaches to a neck portion of the container and serves to provide a fluid transfer system for the lubricating oil or fuel/oil mixture from the container to the engine. Lubricating oil in the container is transfered to an existing oil reservoir, directly to engine components or other machine parts.
Abstract:
An oil squirt (10) mountable to a wall holder in a predetermined supporting position exhibits an elastically bendable nose (24,28). A closure cap (64) is firmly fixed or releasably clamped to the wall holder (16) at the point (at 38) where the nose tip (24) is located in the supporting position of the oil squirt. In the supporting position, the closure cap (64) seals the opening in the nose tip (24) of the oil squirt (10). Upon removal of the oil squirt (10) from the wall holder (16), the closure cap can remain thereon.
