Is the BIT Series – Compressed Air Lubricator suitable for continuous operation at 13 bar and +50°C without additional maintenance?

The BIT Series – Compressed Air Lubricator is specified to operate at supply pressures up to 13 bar and temperatures up to +50°C, so it is designed to function under those conditions. However, continuous operation at the upper limits (13 bar and +50°C) typically increases wear and may accelerate oil consumption and component aging. The product description does not state that any additional maintenance is unnecessary for continuous duty at those extremes. For reliable long-term, continuous operation at maximum pressure and temperature, periodic inspection (level check, replenishing oil, checking for leaks, verifying mist quality and dosing) and preventive maintenance are recommended to ensure consistent lubrication performance and to avoid premature failure. If truly maintenance-free continuous operation is required, confirm with the manufacturer or review detailed maintenance guidelines and mean time between service intervals for the BIT Series.

Can the BIT Series – Compressed Air Lubricator be used with different oil viscosities and still maintain a consistent mist at low flow rates?

BIT Series – Compressed Air Lubricator can be used with different oil viscosities and still maintain a consistent mist at low flow rates, with some practical limits. The unit is designed for stable performance even at low flow rates and produces a fine oil mist for reliable lubrication, so within the manufacturer’s recommended viscosity range it will maintain consistent atomization and delivery. Very low-viscosity oils may atomize more readily and could increase carryover, while very high-viscosity oils may be harder to atomize and could reduce mist consistency at the lowest flows. To ensure optimal performance, use oils within the lubricator’s specified viscosity range (check product data), maintain proper supply pressure (up to 13 bar capability), and verify operation under your actual flow/Δp conditions. For precision applications, test the chosen oil at the system’s expected low flow rate to confirm consistent misting.
