Configuring a System
The CLP may be used in conjunction with lubrication divider valves to progressively apply grease to individual lube points. Consideration
should be given to the number of lube points, the size and length of the feed tube from the CLP to the divider valve and the size and length of
the tubes to the individual lube points. The CLP has a 120bar (1740psi) internal relief valve.
What size tubing to use will be dictated by the overall size of the system, aiming for a maximum 100 bar (1450psi) system operating
pressure.
Options for the main line tubing are charted below, along with the pressure drop across them.
For the tail tube (tube from divider valve to the lubrication point), we recommend the p/n 731002173.
As a rule of thumb, you should consider 10 bar (145psi) pressure drop for every meter(3.28’ft) of tail tube.
Example:
With a system with 3m (9.84’ft) of main line p/n AF240 (34962), and a 6-outlet divider block where the max tube length is 4m (13.12’ft), you
would get :
3m of AF240 : 35bar (507psi)(from chart)
4m of 731002173 : 40bar (580psi)
Total Operating Pressure : 75bar (1087psi)
Using 731002173 as the mainline, the total pressure would increase to 90bar (1305psi) which would still be within the acceptable limits.
Please note this simply a rule of thumb, and these values are subject to deviation, depending on operating temperature and particular
grease used.
