Gaseous
Table of Content
Physical
& Chemical Properties
Gases enter an oil system in different manners and come from different
sources depending upon the application. Examples include: air leaks;
process gas in a pump; gas from leaking seals in a gas turbine; and
freon gases in refrigeration compressors. Gases in oil decrease oil
viscosity, promote foaming, interfere with oil film continuity and
may lead to a catastrophic bearing failure. Combustible gases decrease
the flash point and thus increase the risk of an explosion. See "Gases
in Oil" section for methods of measurement.
