When facing high load conditions, synthetic silicone oil compressor oil can reduce friction coefficient and improve lubrication effect in the following ways:Use of additives: Adding specific additives to silicone oil, such as friction modifiers (oiliness agents) and extreme pressure anti-wear agents, can form a protective film on the friction surface, reduce direct contact between metals, and thus reduce friction coefficient. Studies have shown that adding new hybrid materials such as rigid silsesquioxane microspheres (PMSQ) prepared by methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) as solid lubricants to silicone oil can significantly improve the friction performance of silicone oil. These solid lubricants can fill tiny pits on the metal surface, increase friction contact points, and reduce friction coefficient.Improve the performance of base oil: Improve its lubrication and anti-wear properties by chemically modifying or synthesizing new silicone base oils. For example, dissolving silicone oil in tetralin and adding it to petroleum-based lubricants can increase the lubrication and anti-friction and anti-wear properties of the lubricant. Choose silicone oil with excellent lubrication performance and thermal stability as the base oil to ensure good lubrication effect under high load conditions.Optimize the lubrication system: Design a reasonable lubrication system to ensure that the synthetic silicone oil compressor oil can be evenly and continuously supplied to the friction parts, forming a stable oil film to separate the two friction surfaces, thereby greatly reducing friction. Regularly check and maintain the lubrication system to ensure that the oil path is unobstructed and avoid oil leakage and contamination.Use special design structures: In some key parts of the compressor, special design structures are used to reduce friction. For example, using ball bearings or needle bearings instead of sliding friction can significantly reduce friction loss.Control operating conditions: Under high load conditions, reasonably control the operating conditions of the compressor, such as speed, pressure and temperature, to reduce friction and wear. For example, avoid excessive speed and pressure to reduce friction heat and wear.Through the rational use of additives, improving base oil performance, optimizing the lubrication system, using special design structures, and controlling operating conditions, synthetic silicone oil compressor oil can reduce friction coefficient and improve lubrication effect under high load conditions. The implementation of these measures will help extend the service life of the equipment and improve its operating efficiency and reliability.
