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.
