Hot dryer bearings

1. Provide temperature monitoring of the oil into and out of the filter.
2. Most new machines provide individual monitoring of return oil from the bearings.
— grouped sight glasses for oil from the bearings are also used, so that failure of oil system can be detected.
3. Provide a monitor for metal in the return oil from each dryer group.
4. Insulate the dryer bearings on machines operating at high steam pressures.
5. Use the appropriate lubricating oil.
6. Keep condensate system in good condition.
— maintain the backside of machine in a clean condition.
