Technical article: grease — its components and characteristics downloadweblink
Depending on the application, grease can present several benefits over fluid lubrication. Greases provide a physical seal preventing contamination ingress, resist the washing action of water and can stay in place in an application even in vertically mounted positions. Greases are suitable for applications where relubrication is infrequent or economically unjustifiable, due to the physical configuration of the mechanism, the type of motion, the type of sealing or the need for the lubricant ...
Technical article: refrigeration lubricant selection for industrial systems downloadweblink
Many of today’s industrial refrigeration systems are compression-type systems (as opposed to absorption-type systems) where cooling is generated based on the evaporation of a refrigerant fluid such as Freon, ammonia or carbon dioxide. As illustrated in this article from Exxonmobil, the basic elements of these refrigeration units include the compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator. The refrigerant fluid flows under pressure through the expansion valve to the evaporator, ...
