Abstract
A lubrication system for providing lubrication to equipment is disclosed herein. Generally, the lubrication system includes a lubrication supply container, a lubrication pump, a conduit for providing the lubricant to the oilfield pump, and a control system for setting the operating parameters of the lubrication system. The lubrication system can also include a sensing device for measuring various operational aspects of the equipment and adjusting the amount of lubrication responsive to data measured by the sensing device.
Claims10
A lubrication system for equipment, the equipment having at least one lubrication point, the lubrication system comprising:
- a lubrication supply container for housing preselected lubrication for the equipment;
- a lubrication pump in fluid communication with the lubrication supply container for pumping the preselected lubrication to the at least one lubrication point of the equipment;
- a conduit in fluid communication with the lubrication pump and the at least one lubrication point of the equipment;
- a control system for controlling the amount of preselected lubrication provided to the equipment by controlling duration, downtime and speed of the lubrication pump;
- and
- a magnetic proximity sensor for detecting rotation of a gear in the equipment.
A method, the method comprising:
- lubricating equipment with a lubrication system, the lubrication system comprising:
- a lubrication supply container for housing preselected lubrication for the equipment;
- a lubrication pump in fluid communication with the lubrication supply container for pumping the preselected lubrication to the at least one lubrication point of the equipment;
- a conduit in fluid communication with the lubrication pump and the at least one lubrication point of the equipment;
- a control system for controlling the amount of preselected lubrication provided to the equipment by controlling duration, downtime and speed of the lubrication pump;
- and
- a magnetic proximity sensor for detecting rotation of a gear in the equipment.
