Cylinder Oil 600 W What Is For, What Will It Do 1920

GARGOYLE CYLINDER OIL 600 W surface of the rod will soon assume a glossy, oily, appear- ance, indicating that the wear has ceased and that the piston-rod surface is getting a hard, polished, skin. If the exhaust steam is carried over to the low-pressurft cylinder (as in the case of a compound engine) or to the intermediate pressure and low-pressure cylinders (as in the case of a triple expansion engine) it will carry over finely atomized oil, which will assist in lubricating these cylinders. Atomizing the oil and using the steam as the oil spreading medium, results in the most efficient distribution of the oil. Not only is the friction redaced, but the quantity of oil required for full lubrication is reduced. Lubricators *s fed by an unreliable lubricator, or if the oil feeds do not introduce the oil in the best possible manner, more oil is required to provide lubrication and tlie lubrication will not be so efficient as when the oil is properly fed and applied. True economy in the lubrication of valves and cylinders is obtamed by feeding a minimum quantity of the correct grade of oil to the working parts with such regularity as will insure an unbroken oil film between the frictional sur- faces. Such economy can never be secured by the use of a lubri- cator which feeds intermittently or irregularly. The hydrostatic lubricator is rapidly being superseded by the mechanically operated lubricator. It is difficult to maintain a uniform feed with the hydrostatic lubricator, especially where a very small feed is desired; also, the oil 11
