What to Do Without Lubricating Oil?
1 Answers
Without lubricating oil, you can use glycerin, Vaseline, cooking oil, lard, or essence as substitutes. Introduction to Lubricating Oil: Lubricating oil is a liquid or semi-solid lubricant used in various types of vehicles and mechanical equipment to reduce friction and protect machinery and components. It is generally composed of base oil and additives. Lubricating oil is a technology-intensive product, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily serving functions such as lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, cleaning, sealing, and cushioning. Functions of Lubricating Oil: Friction reduction and wear resistance: Lowering frictional resistance to save energy, reducing wear to extend machinery lifespan, and improving economic efficiency. Cooling: Requires timely dissipation of frictional heat from the machinery. Sealing: Prevents leakage, dust, and gas blow-by. Corrosion and rust prevention: Protects friction surfaces from oil deterioration or external erosion. Cleaning and flushing: Removes deposits from friction surfaces. Stress dispersion and cushioning: Distributes loads and mitigates impacts and vibrations.
