METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MINIMAL CONTINUOUS-FLOW AIR-OIL LUBRICATION, WITH ELECTRONIC REGULATION AND CONTROL

摘要

A fluid for Minimum Quantity Lubrication is obtained by mixing a lubricant with a transport fluid so as to build a biphasic mixture whereby both lubricant and transport fluid are flow and/or pressure regulated prior to mixing and whereby the lubricant is substantially continuously fed. The flow rate of the lubricant fluid is measured by sensing the back-scattering of a laser emitter on the lubricant moving with laminar motion.
