  • System for lubricating and cooling a mechanical assembly
    Patent number: 7500542
    Abstract: A lubricating and cooling system for a mechanical assembly includes a first path having a reservoir of lubricating and cooling liquid and a second path having a source of pressurized gas. A feed mechanism receives the lubricating and cooling liquid from the first path and the pressurized gas from the second path and outputs the pressurized gas and liquid. First and second spray nozzles spray the pressurized gas and liquid onto the mechanical assembly. The first path has a pressure and flow limiter arranged between the reservoir and the first and second spray nozzles so that the first and second spray nozzles are fed with the lubricating and cooling liquid at a pressure no greater than 2 bar (2×105 Pascal).

  • System for lubricating and cooling a mechanical assembly
    Publication number: 20050056490
    Abstract: System for lubricating and cooling a mechanical assembly According to the invention, this system comprises a main device (2) and an auxiliary backup device (3), which comprises: at least one reservoir (10) of lubricating and cooling liquid independent of the main device (2); at least one source (11) of pressurized gas; and at least one spray nozzle (17, 18) which is fed, on the one hand, with lubricating and cooling liquid at a pressure at most equal to 2 bar (2.10?5 pascal) from said reservoir (10) and, on the other hand, with pressurized gas from said source (11), said nozzle being able to spray a mist of lubricating and cooling liquid onto said mechanical assembly (1) so as temporarily to supplement the defective main device (2).
