Frictional Losses of Bearing Lubricants & Bearing Seals FULL REPORT Note: These tests involved the removal of the factory-installed bearing grease and replacement with aftermarket lubricants, and in some cases, removal of the factory bearing seals. These tests solely analyzed the effects of aftermarket lubricants on bearing efficiency, and did not evaluate the effects these lubricants might have on bearing longevity. Use of a lower viscosity or lighter lubricant in a bearing will most likely require more frequent re-lubrication to maintain proper life of the bearings.

Klemeš Copyright © 2013, AIDIC Servizi S.r.l., ISBN 978-88-95608-23-5; ISSN 1974-9791 Removal of Grease from Wind Turbine Bearings by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Javier Sanchez, Svetlana Rudyk*, Pavel Spirov Section of Chemical Engineering, Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, Aalborg University, Campus Esbjerg, Niels Bohrs vej 8, 6700 Esbjerg, Denmark [email protected] This work aims to test the ability of liquid carbon dioxide to remove grease from bearings in wind turbines. Currently, the removal of grease from wind turbines offshore in the North Sea is done by dismantling the bearing covers and scraping off the grease. This procedure is long, labour intensive and raises maintenance cost. Another issue is the environmental policy, the approval for newly introduced chemicals for flushing purposes are procedurally long. If the problems with grease removal could be solved in a different way other than manual removal or using chemicals, it will open many new market opportunities and would carved out a niche for the wind turbine maintenance industry. The solution of flushing grease could lower cost, time and reduce environmental impact by applying Supercritical Carbon Dioxide. The oil based grease SKF LGWM 1 was designed to handle extreme pressure and low temperature conditions. The grease covered the main bearing for 4 - 5 y in a wind turbine at Horns Rev 1 Offshore Wind Farm in the North Sea, 14 km from the west coast of Denmark.

On Monitoring Physical and Chemical Degradation and Life Estimation Models for Lubricating Greases
lubricants Review On Monitoring Physical and Chemical Degradation and Life Estimation Models for Lubricating Greases Asghar Rezasoltani and M. M. Khonsari * Department of Mechanical Engineering, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-225-578-9192 Academic Editor: James E. Krzanowski Received: 19 June 2016; Accepted: 5 September 2016; Published: 13 September 2016 Abstract: Degradation mechanisms for lubricating grease are categorized and described. An extensive survey of the available empirical and analytical grease life estimation models including degradation monitoring standards and methods are presented. A summary of the important contributions on grease degradation is presented. Keywords: grease replenishment time estimation; grease degradation; oxidation; mechanical degradation; base oil evaporation; base oil separation 1. Introduction The lubricating effectiveness of grease is limited by both physical and chemical deteriorations caused by shear stresses, pressure, and the severity of operating conditions, particularly temperature. Degraded grease becomes inefﬁcient and eventually loses its lubrication capacity such that it can adversely affect the machine’s performance and functionality. Proper monitoring of degradation and on-schedule replacement/replenishment of grease are important facets of machinery maintenance practices. Presently, grease replacement is performed periodically according to time schedules adapted from empirical models. Although some empirical relationships for estimating grease life are available, they tend to be restrictive. The drawback of empirical models is limited applicability when the working condition of grease is different from the operating conditions from which the empirical models were derived. In applications where the bearing element is lubricated and sealed for life, there are quality control standard procedures to measure the grease resistance to different degradation processes.

Ball-on-disc tests were performed under different operating conditions: entrainment speed, lubricant temperature and surface roughness. The tests were performed with fully formulated greases and their base oils. The greases were formulated with different thickener types and also different base oils natures and viscosities. Film thickness measurements were performed in ball-on-glass disc tests, and Stribeck curves were measured in ball-on-steel disc tests with discs of different roughness. The role of the thickener and the base oil nature/viscosity on the film thickness and coefficient of friction was addressed and the greases’ performance was compared based on their formulation.

It is the base oil component that performs the actual lubrication, except in very slow or oscillating applications. Aviation grease color Additives Grease color spotlight Additives are required to protect the component against wear, rust, corrosion and oxidation. As in lubricating oil additives, grease additives and modifiers impart special properties or modify existing ones. Additives and modifiers commonly used in lubricating greases are oxidation or rust inhibitors, extreme pressure (EP) additives, antiwear agents, lubricity or friction-reducing agents, and dyes or pigments. Mobil™ Aviation Grease SHC™ 100 grease can have varying shades of red.

Production of Lithium and Sodium Lubricating Greases
International Journal of Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering (IJPPE) Volume 1, Issue 3, 2015, PP 1-10 ISSN 2454-7980 (Online) www.arcjournals.org Production of Lithium and Sodium Lubricating Greases Amthal Zaidan Algailani Master Student in Chemical Engineering Department/University of Leeds/UK (2015/16) B.Sc. of Chemical Engineering from University Of Baghdad/Iraq (2012) [email protected] Abstract: Improving grease lubricants quality plays a significant role in reducing a maintenance cost and saving the contacted surfaces. The purpose of Lithium and Sodium lubricating greases production process, which described in this paper, comes for designing economic process with quite high quality. Generally, Sodium and Lithium greases are largely required in market. The work start from laboratory then all data and results are transferred to the refinery plant. As the result, this process targets enhance the product quality to enlarge the interests. 1. INTRODUCTION In order to reduce the friction and wear between surfaces in high pressure and temperature engines and machines, low viscosity and dropping point lubricants are not preferable. Grease lubricants are higher viscosity and dropping point lubricants. Grease is one of the old petroleum lubricants over the world (Totten, et al. 2003). Grease can be described as a semi-fluid to solid, multi-color lubricant. The primary component of grease is the fluid lubricant that can be a petroleum oil, vegetable oil, and synthetic oil. Lubricant fluid identifies the lubrication quality of the grease. The other ingredients that uses in grease manufacturing are thickener and additives (Kholijah, et al. 2012). Thickener is a salt of long chained fatty acid, such as Sodium Stearate, that produced through saponification reaction of metallic base like sodium hydroxide with long chained fatty acid like stearic acid.

This research article presents an experimental study of the frictional behaviours of grease lubricated sliding contact under mixed lubrication conditions. The influences of surface texture parameters on the frictional properties were investigated using a disc-on-ring tribometer. The results showed that the friction coefficient is largely dependent on texture parameters, with higher and lower texture density resulting in a higher friction coefficient at a fixed texture depth. The sample with texture density of 15% and texture depth of 19 µm exhibited the best friction properties in all experimental conditions because it can store more grease and trap wear debris. The reduction of friction is mainly attributable to the formation of a stable grease lubrication film composed of oil film, transfer film and deposited film, and the hydrodynamic pressure effect of the surface texture, which increases the mating gap and reduces the probability of asperity contact.

NLGI GREASE GLOSSARY Definitions of Terms Relating to the Lubricating Grease Industry (Developed By: Mary Moon, David Turner & Bill Tuszynski)
NLGI GREASE GLOSSARY Definitions of Terms Relating to the Lubricating Grease Industry (Developed by: Mary Moon, David Turner & Bill Tuszynski) Additive: Any substance added to a lubricant to modify its properties. Typical examples are antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, anti-wear, and extreme pressure (EP) additives. Adhesion: The force or forces between two materials in contact, such as lubricating grease and a metal substrate, that causes them to stick together. Age Hardening: Increase in consistency (hardness) of a lubricating grease during storage. Anhydrous: Without water, for example, a lubricating grease in which no water is detected by ASTM D128. Antioxidant (Oxidation inhibitor): An additive used to slow the degradation of lubricants by oxidation. Oxidation is degradation caused by chemical reactions with oxygen. These reactions change the chemical composition and properties of a lubricant. Anti-Wear Additive: An additive used to protect lubricated surfaces from contacting one another under moderate to high loads, as in the elastohydrodynamic lubrication regime. Antiwear additives function by forming an adsorbed molecular layer on metal parts, thus keeping the surfaces separated. For more highly loaded applications, extreme pressure (EP) additives are required. Apparent Viscosity: The apparent viscosity of grease refers to flow under applied shear measured according to ASTM D1092. Apparent viscosity versus shear can be useful in predicting pressure drops in a grease distribution system under steady-state flow conditions at constant temperature. Appearance: Characteristics of a lubricating grease that are observed by visual inspection: Bloom, Bulk Appearance, Color, Luster and Texture. ASTM D02.G0: ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) is an international standards organization.

Academic Editors: José M. Franco and Jesús F. Arteaga Received: 16 July 2015 / Accepted: 29 September2015 / Published: 21 October 2015 Abstract: Environmentally friendly multipurpose grease formulation has been synthesized by using Jatropha vegetable residual oil with lithium soap and multifunctional additive. The thus obtained formulation was evaluated for its tribological performance on a four-ball tribo-tester. The anti-friction and anti-wear performance characteristics were evaluated using standard test methods. The biodegradability and toxicity of the base oil was assessed. The results indicate that the synthesized residual oil grease formulation shows superior tribological performance when compared to the commercial grease. On the basis of physico-chemical characterization and tribological performance the vegetable residual oil was found to have good potential for use as biodegradable multipurpose lubricating grease. In addition, the base oils are biodegradable and non toxic. Keywords: vegetable oil; residual oil; lithium soap; performance evaluation; biodegradable; multipurpose grease 1. Introduction The worldwide trend to use more eco-friendly lubricating greases is motivated by environmental concerns [1]. Recent trends are heavily focused on price, performance as well as biodegradability and toxicity [2]. Lubricants 2015, 3 629 The biodegradability of greases essentially reflects the biodegradability of their base oils.
