Abstract
Oil mist lubrication is a viable lubrication means for electric motor bearings. It has many advantages, particularly in the petroleum industry; however, use in refineries has been limited. Reluctance to retrofit existing motors has been caused by a lack of knowledge and to a shortage of proven performances. The advantages of oil mist lubrication, as well as motor requirements and successful applications, will be addressed.
