Idle Fan brearings lubrication
Idle Fan brearings lubrication
(OP)
Hi,
Based on experience can anyone guide for greasing of those fan & shaft bearings, who are not operating for a long time or stand by. What would be the reliability plan like greasing & its frequency for non-operating fans or any test run?
These fans are for gas coolers at compression sites.
Thanks in advance

RE: Idle Fan brearings lubrication
Grease the bearings when the fans come off of operation and leave them until they go back into operation. It wouldn't hurt to rotate the fans on a periodic basis but just a simple rotation won't deplete the grease to a point where you need to regrease the bearings.
