Oil Mist Reclamation
The Oil Mist Reclamation option is used when LubriMist

Closed Loop Oil Mist systems are
being installed. LubriMist

Closed Loop Oil Mist Systems uses the same principles to apply oil
mist for machinery lubrication as non-closed loop oil mist systems. However when closed loop
systems are installed, after the oil mist has been applied, the oil is continually reclaimed for
reapplication to the serviced rotating machinery.
As the oil mist flows through the rotating equipment bearings and bearing housings, a part of the
oil mist coalesces into liquid oil. A lesser amount of oil remains suspended in the air as it vents
from the bearing housing. This is often referred to as Stray Mist. User equipment items are
equipped with oil collection containers to collect the liquid oil that is manually pumped into the
return mist header. The stray mist is collected into a return mist header as it vents from the
bearing housing. The return mist header is connected to the Oil Mist Reclamation Unit.
An oil over flow connection is located on the right side of the reservoir. This connection allows oil
to be drained away should the reservoir be overfilled. It is located above the high-level switch
position.
The Oil Mist Reclamation unit is a self-contained unit that mounts onto the rear of the IVT Oil Mist
Generator cabinet. The returning stray mist is stripped of its oil by an electric motor driven rotating
coalescer. The returning air is vented from the unit to atmosphere. The coalesced oil is collected
in an integral receiving reservoir. A pneumatic driven transfer pump transfers the liquid oil to the
IVT bulk oil reservoir for reuse. The reservoir is equipped with a liquid level gauge to monitor the
oil level in the reservoir. A bulls-eye sight glass is located at the reservoir bottom to check for
contamination. A high-level alarm switch interlocks with the controller in the IVT main oil mist
generator to provide a system alarm. A separate output signal is provided to interlock with the
motor driver control circuit.
