  2. Labyrinth seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth_seal

    However, such engines often have detectable oil leakage into the compression chamber. [3] Indeed, many gas turbine engine seals leak by design. [4] Labyrinth seals are also found on pistons, which use them to store oil and seal against high pressure during compression and power strokes, as well as on non-rotating shafts. In these applications ...

  3. Dry running protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_running_protection

    Dry running protection, also known as dry-run protection or dry-running protection, is a type of protection mechanism to prevent a rotor, pump or stirrer shaft from operating without any medium added, as the bearing and shaft seal might be damaged if the motor is run while dry. [1]

  4. Volatile corrosion inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_corrosion_inhibitor

    Oils - The most common use of VCIs in oils is for the protection of oil containing systems like an engine or hydraulics during intermittent use or during longer-term storage (mothballing). The VCI treated oil is typically added to the existing oil and the unit is run to fully circulate the treated oil throughout the system.

  5. Corrosion inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_inhibitor

    Engine oil. Boilers. Volatile amines are added to boiler water to minimize the effects of acid. In some cases, the amines form a protective film on the steel surface and, at the same time, act as an anodic inhibitor. An inhibitor that acts both in a cathodic and anodic manner is termed a mixed inhibitor. Copper surfaces.

  6. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    The oil pump forces the motor oil through the passages in the engine to properly distribute oil to different engine components. In a common oiling system, oil is drawn out of the oil sump (oil pan, in US English) through a wire mesh strainer that removes some of the larger pieces of debris from the oil.

  7. Corrosion inhibitors for the petroleum industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_inhibitors_for...

    Aminated polymers: These polymers are used for corrosion protection of metal surfaces in the oil industry. They are highly effective in preventing salt water and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) corrosion. Acrylic polymers: These polymers are used as corrosion inhibitors in the industry due to their good compatibility with oil and drilling fluids. They ...

  8. Wound rotor motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_rotor_motor

    The speed and torque characteristics of a wound-rotor motor can be adjusted by changing the external resistance, unlike a squirrel cage motor which has a fixed characteristic. This is useful for speed control of the motor. [1] A wound-rotor motor can be used in several forms of adjustable-speed drive. Common applications include hoists and ...

  9. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

    Other benefits of petroleum-based rust protection include the self-healing properties that come naturally to oils, which helps undercoatings to resist abrasion caused by road sand and other debris. The disadvantage of using a petroleum-based coating is the film left over on surfaces, rendering these products too messy for top side exterior ...
