The LRVS team is currently hard at work reviewing and editing the 200+ LRVS event recordings. Stay tuned and be sure to check back soon! LRVS, Fluitec’s Lubrication and Reliability Virtual Summit, has become a community of like-minded professionals who can connect, collaborate and add value to each other. We are focusing on the impact […]
In all lubricant systems, there is a constant challenge in keeping the oil free from contamination. In EHCs (Electro Hydraulic Control) systems, this remains true and takes the highest priority. In these systems, the clearances are typically smaller than regular systems. As such, it is of paramount importance that contaminants are removed from the lubricant […]
Varnish occurs in many types of equipment ranging from hydraulics, turbines, compressors or even pumps. However, the only common factor amongst these types of equipment is the occurrence of these degradation deposits. The type of deposits produced varies significantly and is typically characterized as being either organic and soluble or inorganic and insoluble. These degradation […]
Compressors can be found in numerous places and industries. Usually, the large industrial, primarily axial and radial type compressors are critical in industries such as refineries, steel, petrochemical, chemical and even in food and beverage. These compressors are usually subjected to high thermal stress and possible ingression of reactive gases. These can significantly contribute to […]
All gearboxes should observe the same rules, right? Not really. Gearboxes require different types of oils based on the rotational speed of the gears, the type of the gears and the environment in which they are working. When we begin thinking about wind turbine gearboxes, there are a lot more factors to consider than these […]
