How often should the DN6 Compressed Air Lubricator's 40 cm³ tank be refilled under continuous operation at 6 bar?

Under continuous operation at 6 bar, the DN6 Compressed Air Lubricator’s 40 cm³ tank refill interval depends on the actual oil consumption rate, which is determined by the set drip/feed rate (oil mist feed) for the pneumatic system. However, using the provided flow rate (1160 l/min at 6 bar, Δp = 1 bar) as a reference for high-throughput use, typical consumption for continuous high-flow systems will drain a 40 cm³ tank relatively quickly. Practical guideline: - For heavy-duty/high-flow continuous operation (near the stated 1160 l/min), expect the 40 cm³ tank to require refilling within hours (often 1–8 hours depending on set feed). - For moderate continuous use with lower feed settings, refilling intervals extend to many hours or a day. To determine an exact refill schedule, measure or calculate the actual oil feed rate (cm³/hour) from your lubricator setting and divide 40 cm³ by that rate. Regular visual checks or an automated refill/level alarm are recommended for uninterrupted operation.

Can the DN6 Compressed Air Lubricator operate continuously at -10°C without viscosity adjustments to the lubrication oil?

DN6 Compressed Air Lubricator is specified with an operating temperature range from -10°C to +50°C. In principle, it can operate continuously at -10°C; however, oil viscosity behavior at low temperatures is critical. If the lubrication oil remains within its recommended viscosity range at -10°C (i.e., it does not thicken excessively or gel), no viscosity adjustment is required. If the chosen oil becomes significantly more viscous at -10°C, atomization and feed rate from the 40 cm³ tank may be impaired, reducing lubrication effectiveness. Recommendation: use a lubricant rated for low-temperature service or check the oil’s viscosity-temperature chart (ISO viscosity/ pour point). If necessary, select a lower-viscosity or low-temperature formulated oil to ensure reliable continuous operation at -10°C without adjustments.
