Changing The Mist Generating Capacity
A qualified person should make replacement of parts.
The IVT Oil Mist Generator is designed to provide oil mist lubrication for systems over a wide
range of oil mist flow requirements. The IVT package can easily be set up to service oil mist
systems with mist capacity requirements from 1.2 to 30 SCFM. The mist generators of the same
capacity are always installed in the main and auxiliary mist units.
When system flow requirements change due to the addition or deletion of mist application points,
the mist generating capacity of the IVT Oil Mist Generator must be verified. If necessary a new
mist generator insert kit can be easily installed to keep up with the new mist generating
requirements.
The IVT Oil Mist Console is shipped as one of four different mist-generating capacities. The four
different capacities are listed in the table below. Reference

Separate mist generating cartridge kits are available for changing the mist flow requirements
when the new mist flow is outside of the specified mist generating range. The mist generator
cartridge size can be identified by making note of the number of machined rings found on the
vortex plate of each cartridge assembly. The number of rings for each capacity oil mist generating
cartridge is shown in the above table. See the figure below for location of markings.
Kits include parts to change both the main and auxiliary oil mist generators. Consult the
manufacturer for further information.
The Mist Generator Capacity Is Indicated By The
Number Of Machined Groves In the Vortex Plate.
