Method for operating lubricant dispenser with interchangeable lubricant cartridge and removable control unit, involves determining parameter to control gas generation based on detected number of gas generating cells

摘要

The method involves discharging lubricant from a lubricant reservoir (8) through a gas generating cell (4). The predetermined number of lubricant cartridges (2) is set different with respect to the size of lubricant reservoir. The size of the lubricant reservoir associated with the number of gas generating cells is selected. The number of gas generating cells is determined by a control unit (1) based on the measurement values of an electrical measuring circuit. A parameter to control the gas generation is determined based on the detected number of gas generating cells.
