Destruction of thickened oils during operation in a reducing gear

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The degree of destruction of polyisobutylene in MK-8 oil increases with the number of revolutions of the gear, independently of the molecular weight of the polymer.

  2. 2.

    The degree of destruction of polyisobutylene in solutions of one and the same initial viscosity increases ever more progressively with the number of revolutions, according as the molecular weight of the polymer is higher.

  3. 3.

    The degree of destruction of the polymer in solutions of increasing initial viscosity rises ever more progressively with the number of revolutions of the pinion, according as the molecular weight of the polymer is higher.

  4. 4.

    An equation is proposed for the relationship between the degree of destruction of the polymer and the various factors (molecular weight, initial viscosity of the solution, and number of revolutions of the reducing pinion gear); from this equation the mechanical destruction of polyisobutylene of any molecular weight under fixed conditions can be determined with sufficient accuracy (±10%), without numerous tests having to be carried out.
