Abstract

In this study, a method is developed to determine the oil mist characteristics for the minimal quantity lubricant process. The oil mist is characterized by the size, velocity, and volume flow rate of its particles. In each case, a specific measurement process is used: the laser diffraction granulometry method, the particle image velocimetry, and the gravimetric method. These methods are used in the case of static and simple models with different inner channels. Experimental tests have been done with the same inner channel as the existing spindle inner channel. Different output models with different inner canalizations have been tested, using these experimental processes. The main goal is to control the characteristics of output oil mist as a function of the input oil mist device parameters.
