PROCEDURE FOR AUTOMATIC MICRO-DOSAGED LUBRICATION OF MACHINE UNITS WITH FORMATION OF CONTINUOUS ELASTIC-HYDRO-DYNAMIC FLUID FILM Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F16N7/30 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: procedure consists in supplying correspondingly liquid lubricating material and gaseous transporting medium from lubricating station and station for preparation of gaseous transporting medium to feeder via independent pipelines. In the feeder liquid lubricating material is absorbed with gaseous transporting medium. There is generated a continuous flow of mixture of liquid lubricating material and gaseous transporting medium which is transported along mains and is supplied to lubricated units. Successively gaseous transporting medium is withdrawn from them. A turbulent flow of mixture is transformed into a laminar flow of mixture by means of decreasing rate of gaseous transporting mixture in the mains. There is formed continuous elastic-hydro-dynamic fluid film of liquid lubricating material transported along the mains. Before the flow of mixture is supplied to the lubricated units it is directed into flow dividers for dividing an inlet flow into at least two secondary flows.

EFFECT: increased service life of lubricated units, raised accuracy and efficiency of liquid lubricating material dosing.
