A Bearing Lube Oil System is a custom-designed skid built to deliver clean filtered lube oil to bearings at a specified flow rate, pressure, and temperature.  Essential for optimal performance and reliability of critical rotating equipment across a wide range of industries, they typically include the following features:

​

• Redundant positive displacement gear pumps - one in operation, one on standby

• Both high-pressure and low-pressure circuits (if necessary)

• Duplex filter housings – allow for the change-out of a plugged filter element without interrupting the flow of oil

• High efficiency pleated microglass filter elements rated Beta>1000 per ISO 16889 – ensure oil cleanliness that meets or exceeds stringent OEM specifications

• Air-cooled or water-cooled heat exchanger (oil cooler) – maintain cool bearing temperatures

• Flow divider(s) and flow meter(s) - ensure proper flow rate of oil to each bearing

• Lube oil reservoir – equipped with low watt-density immersion heater for cold start-up, desiccant air breather, level sight glass, and high/low level float switches

• NEMA 4 electric control panel with remote diagnostic capability – controls and alarm indicators can be integrated with the customer’s DCS.
