J Line Pump
Horizontal Double Suction Centrifugal Pump – API 610 Process Pump
43 V1.032818
Basic Oil Mist generation system should include the following:
1. An airline filter – water separator to assure a clean air supply to oil mist generator.
2. An air pressure regulator to control the oil mist generator atomizing pressure.
3. An oil mist generator which includes a venturi nozzle, oil lift tube, reservoir and oil flow
adjustment screw.
4. Mist distribution manifold to convey the oil mist application fittings.
5. Spray application fitting to meter and convert the oil mist at each lubrication point.
Provide oil mist through the oil mist inlet as indicated on the General Arrangement. Oil mist can be
vented out thru the vent as indicated on the General Arrangement; however, if the intent is to maintain
positive pressure in the bearing housing then no venting is needed.
Recommended Oil: ISO VG 68 non-detergent oil suitable for oil misting. (Refer to instructions
with oil mist generator).
Air/Oil ratio should be 0.40 cubic inches/hour/cfm (231.5 cc/hr/m3/min).
Type of oil mist fitting: spray type.
Note: Bearing housing will naturally vent through the labyrinths in the deflectors.
