energy savings through proper lubrication

Search this forum for energy savings, there is a few posts on the subject and a few have formulas for energy calcs.

Sears credits Amsoil with reducing amperage in their compressors by 10% and savings in four other areas http://www.amsoil.com/lit/g1325.pdf?zo=1181889 .

Tim,

Is the statement, come from independent agency/surveyor?

Hi,
The main purpose of lubricants is to lubricate moving parts of the vehicle to reduce friction and wear and tear by providing smoothing, trouble free drive and performance of engine.

It came from John Small, Sears. Check the link and the last paragraph.

In any plant we could identify areas, or sub-areas consuming the highest amount energy. Let us start with the Gear reducers, the Gear box. Isolate Gear box and install meter that shows electricity/power consumed (Kw/hr)over a month. This is the first step in building baseline figures of consumption of electricity in Kw/hr.

Immediately after a monthly maintenance check, oil top up, oil change etc. compare figures against base line figures.

Introduce/install energy efficient lubricants and compare against baseline and standard post maintenance data. Compile a cost benefit analysis and propose appropriately to management.

Adopt similar practice, sub-area wise and over time and with visible improvement, replicate across the whole plant.
