Circulating Systems
Oil-Rite specializes in Circulating Systems to customers requirements. All Systems are engineered, designed, manufactured and fully tested at Oil-Rite.
Circulating Systems provide continuous flow of liquid to bearings, gearboxes, and blowers. They are used with various liquids such as jet fuel, ethylene glycol, oils, and synthetic lubricants. By proper direction of liquid flow, Circulating Systems can be used for heavily loaded bearings, operating at high speeds and temperatures.
Oil-Rites Circulating Systems are critical for use in extreme dirty and corrosive environments.
Oil-Rite Completes Lubrication Systems
for Engine Test Facility
YE107
Oil-Rite engineered a lubrication system to a primary manufacturer and developer of military aircraft engines. The department of test facilities engineering is responsible for engineering easily maintainable jet and rocket engine test stands.
The lubrication system is used in an engine test facility. Oil from the system provides lubrication for two water break type dynamometers used in two separate test stands. The water breaks are used to simulate the different loads the engines are exposed to under actual flight conditions. High speed rotation and power absorption produce considerable heat. The Oil-Rite lubrication system provides adequate lubrication and cooling of the bearings during test operations.
The system utilizes a series of nine oil pumps to supply and scavenge oil from the test stand. Under normal operation, the pumps are driven electrically. Redundancy is provided in the event of electrical failure and would automatically change over to operation of compressed air driven motors.
The system is piped with high pressure, stainless steel, welded pumping which is fabricated at the Oil-Rite plant. All piping is subject to special hydrostatic testing to assure leak tight operation at all times.
Oil-Rite has been designing, building, and supplying to corporations throughout the world for over 77 years.
