The
debate between air filled and oil motors is an ongoing one! So,
basically what is an oil filled motor and what is an air filled
motor? An oil filled pump is defined as having the motor cavity
filled with oil, usually to cover the upper bearing and windings. An
air filled pump is one that does not use any oil to fill the motor
cavity. Wondering whether you should consider oil or air filled pumps
for your application?
Well, talk to the experts in pump industry today to get reliable
solutions for your pumping problems.
Oil
filled motors lower the winding temperature through extra heat
transfer away from the stator, to the housings, and then out into the
liquid. Heat kills electrical components so anything that is done to
lower the temperature inside the pump will give a long lasting
product.
Other
advantages of oil filled pumps include –
- Better lubrication of bearing
- Lesser frequency of maintenance
- Ensure long life of pumps
- Transfer heat easily
- Easy to maintain
The
downsides to oil filling are the environmental consequences and a
lower overall efficiency due to churning losses when compared to an
air filled type motor. The environmental issue can be easily resolved
by using a type of oil that is environmentally friendly. The lower
efficiency carries about 2% increase in overall energy costs. Both of
these penalties are pretty easy to offset when the pros of oil
filling are explored.
Why
