painevoitelujärjestelmän

Painevoitelujärjestelmä is a Finnish term that translates to "pressure lubrication system" in English. It refers to a mechanical system designed to deliver lubricant under pressure to moving parts of machinery. This ensures that friction is reduced and wear is minimized, thereby extending the lifespan and improving the efficiency of the equipment.

These systems typically consist of a lubricant reservoir, a pump to create pressure, a distribution network of pipes or tubes, and often filters to remove contaminants from the lubricant. Valves may also be incorporated to control the flow of lubricant to specific points. The pressure is crucial as it forces the lubricant into narrow clearances between moving surfaces, forming a protective film that separates them.

Pressure lubrication is commonly used in internal combustion engines, gearboxes, turbines, and other industrial machinery where high loads and speeds generate significant heat and friction. The continuous supply of pressurized lubricant helps to dissipate heat away from critical components, preventing overheating and potential damage. Different types of lubricants, such as oils and greases, can be used depending on the specific application and operating conditions. The design and maintenance of a painevoitelujärjestelmä are vital for the reliable operation of the machinery it serves.
