Abstract
The interactions of five gases (helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide) with mineral and synthetic lubricating oils were studied. The interactions examined included gas solubility, foaming, entrainment, evaporation of oil into gas, stability of oil in presence of gas, and effect of dissolved gas an oil viscosity. Several of the gases showed behavior (appreciably different from that of air) that was not predicted by conventional theories. No important differences were found between mineral and synthetic (diester) oils in these respects. The additives used can have appreciable influence on the foaming and entrainment characteristics, and evaporation rates, of both types of oils. *Presented as an American Society of Lubrication Engineers paper at the Lubrication Conference held in Boston, Massachusetts, October 17–19, 1960.
